Death, injury and displacement
In a cyclone, air tends to move up, which causes it to cool. Moisture in that air then condenses, forming clouds.
A cyclone typically has lower air pressure at its center, known as the eye of the storm. This low pressure causes air to spiral inwards towards the center of the cyclone, creating strong winds and storm conditions.
The death of a midlatitude cyclone typically occurs when it moves into an area of unfavorable atmospheric conditions, such as stable air or a decrease in temperature gradients and moisture availability. This can cause the cyclone to weaken and eventually dissipate, bringing an end to its life cycle. Additionally, interaction with land or encountering upper-level winds can also contribute to the decay of a midlatitude cyclone.
The worst cyclone to hit Australia was Cyclone Mahina. It hit north Queensland on 4 March 1899. A category 5 cyclone, it resulted in the greatest death toll of any natural disaster in Australia.Australia's second worst cyclone was Cyclone Tracy, which officially killed 71 people and destroyed 9,000 homes on 25 December 1974.
Cyclone Taylor was born on June 23, 1884 and died on June 9, 1979. Cyclone Taylor would have been 94 years old at the time of death or 131 years old today.
Cyclone Yasi, which hit Australia in 2011, caused the death of only one person directly attributed to the storm. However, it resulted in significant damages to infrastructure and homes in affected areas.
There has only been 1 (indirect) death reported.
