i don't know you tell me people these days GOD?! you @#$% and you you ^&*()! THANK YOU?
When Cyclone Tracy hit Darwin on Christmas Day 1974, 255mm of rain was dumped on the city within a twelve hour period.
The damage bill following Cyclone Tracy was $800 million (Australian dollars). That was in 1974 figures, so would translate to much higher figures now.
Cyclone Tracy, in 1974, did not destroy any crops. When the cyclone made landfall, the eye of the cyclone centred over Darwin, so the worst damage was the devastation of houses and other buildings. The area around Darwin was affected to a much more limited sense, and Tracy did not bring heavy rains often associated with cyclones.
71 people were killed. Much of the city was destroyed. Many airplanes were destroyed at the airport. Many people left the city and never returned. Much of the city had to be rebuilt, making it a very different city to what it was before the cyclone hit.
It is impossible to know how many pets died and how much wildlife was killed during Cyclone Tracy. Some estimates suggest that as many as 20,000 livestock animals died.
There was removal of trees. The oxygen supply declined and was of much poorer quality.
It cost 800 Million Dollars to rebuild Darwin
Over 800 Million Dollars and 837 Million in damages =)
Much of the city had to be rebuilt. A large amount of the population left and have never returned. Others stayed to rebuild their city and their lives.
