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.

Do cyclones always cause flooding?
Cyclones do not always cause flooding. Cyclone Tracy, which hit Darwin, Australia in 1974 ,was a classic example of a cyclone that hit violently causing widespread destruction, yet very little damage was caused by rain or flooding. Often cyclones degrade into tropical depressions when they hit land, and this is what causes the flooding, but there was very little rain associated with Cyclone Tracy compared to other cyclones.
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 technology damage did Cyclone Tracy cause?
It is difficult to say what specific technology damage was caused by Cyclone Tracy when it hit on Christmas Day 1974. This cyclone left Darwin in tatters, destroying 9,000 homes of a total of 12,000 residences. Telephone lines were damaged so communication was severely compromised. Sewerage lines and water pipes were damaged, causing health issues, and of course electricity was also out. One of the jobs of the defence forces was to go around and remove all rotting food from freezers and refrigerators. One specific example of damage to technology occurred at the airport. The wind gauge at Darwin Airport officially recorded winds of 217 kilometres per hour before being blown away itself.
