Cyclone Tracy is the only cyclone to have directly hit and damaged Darwin, to date. Many cyclones circulate in the waters east and west of Darwin each year. Only four have caused significant damage in and around Darwin, and these occurred in 1897 (when the city was still known as Palmerston); 1917; 1937; and 1974.
The biggest cyclone in Darwin's history to date was Cyclone Tracy. Cyclone Tracy was a category 4 storm whilst still out at sea, but there is some evidence to suggest that it had reached category 5 status when it made landfall, on Christmas Day 1974. 65 people were "officially" killed (many more of the transients and indigenous people were killed), and 9,000 homes destroyed, out of a city of 43,500 people living in 12,000 residences
