Cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin, Australia, in December 1974, caused widespread destruction to manmade environments, resulting in the total destruction of around 70% of the city's buildings. Many homes, schools, and businesses were severely damaged or completely flattened, necessitating extensive rebuilding efforts. The cyclone also highlighted the need for improved building codes and disaster preparedness, leading to significant changes in construction practices in cyclone-prone areas. Ultimately, Tracy reshaped the urban landscape of Darwin and influenced future urban planning and resilience strategies.

What is the analogy for cyclone?
A cyclone can be likened to a giant, swirling vacuum cleaner that draws in air and moisture from its surroundings, creating a powerful and organized system of wind and rain. Just as a vacuum cleaner can pick up debris and create a whirlwind of activity, a cyclone gathers energy and moisture from warm ocean waters, intensifying as it moves. Both phenomena can be destructive, causing significant impact in their respective environments.
