Not everyone took steps to protect themselves from Cyclone Tracy. Whilst some people prepared for the cyclone, many ignored what they thought would be another false alarm.

Those who heeded the warnings took basic precautions such as tying down loose objects that could become flying missiles, boarding up windows, and taking shelter in the strongest room of their house. Some people even left town before it hit.
