because cyclone Tracy is so powerful it's like category 5
The damage bill following Cyclone Tracy was $800 million (Australian dollars). That was in 1974 figures, so would translate to much higher figures now.
Cyclone Tracy, in 1974, did not destroy any crops. When the cyclone made landfall, the eye of the cyclone centred over Darwin, so the worst damage was the devastation of houses and other buildings. The area around Darwin was affected to a much more limited sense, and Tracy did not bring heavy rains often associated with cyclones.
