What was the worst cyclone in history?
There have been frequent cyclones since records have been kept, since about the 1890s. Some of the largest, in terms of death or destruction, include Cyclone Mahina (1899), Cyclone Tracy (1974) and Cyclone Larry (2006). In February 2011, the north coast of Queensland was threatened by Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi, which was a category 5 cyclone and predicted to be the most destructive to ever hit Australia. However, whilst Yasi was very destructive to numerous towns and properties, it did not reach anywhere near the dire predictions forecast.
How can tropical cyclones be managed?
Tropical cyclones cannot be managed or prevented, so the only recourse is to warn people, prepare communities and put programmes into effect to clean up afterwards. Tropical cyclone warning systems are in place within cyclone-prone countries such as Australia. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology keeps residents informed on the development, current and predicted movements and progress of a cyclone. Communities in cyclone-prone areas in developed countries like Australia make use of technology to construct buildings which can better withstand cyclonic effects. This has particularly been the case since Cyclone Tracy blew away most of the city of Darwin in 1974. Emergency services are better prepared nowadays, while the media and websites keep the public well informed of how to prepare their homes and properties before cyclones and what to do once a cyclone hits.
