Did cyclone Tracy impact any other countries?
No. Cyclone Tracy affected only the far north of Australia.
What is the likelihood of cyclone Tracy recurring?
Cyclone Tracy itself will never recur. Cyclones cannot regenerate decades after they have dissipated. There is, however, a very high chance that a cyclone of Tracy's magnitude could form in the Arafura Sea and hit Darwin once more. There is far less chance that it would cause the damage that Tracy did, as Darwin was rebuilt to a stronger standard, with its buildings more cyclone-proof.

Can cyclone cause flood?
Cyclones can and do often cause floods, though not every time. A classic example was Cyclone Wanda which hit Queensland in 1974, resulting in massive and deadly floods throughout the capital city of Brisbane. On the other hand, Cyclone Tracy, which devastated Darwin in 1975, brought far less rain, even though its winds flattened the city.
What changes were made after cyclone Tracy?
Cyclone Tracy destroyed one fifth of the residences in Darwin in 1974, so it was clear that changes had to be made to ensure the city would be more cyclone-proof in the future. When Darwin had to rebuild, it started off with far fewer people living there. The city was then rebuilt according to new building codes, and it is now regarded as a modern multicultural city of around 100,000 people. The new building codes also spread to other cyclone-prone areas of Australia. A significant development which came from the cyclone was that of the Northern Territory's self-government. Until 1974, the Northern Territory had minimal self-government, with a federal minister being responsible for the Territory from Canberra. However, the cyclone and subsequent response highlighted problems with this arrangement that led directly to the decision of Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser to grant the Territory self-government in 1978. The Cyclone Tracy devastation and loss of life also resulted in improvements to the Australian Cyclone Warning system.
