It is not true that no-one heeded the warnings - just too few. Many took precautions to try and secure their homes, but a large number simply did not believe the cyclone would hit. For a start, it was Christmas, and no-one believed a disaster could disrupt Christmas. Secondly, several cyclones had threatened Darwin in recent years, but none of them had made landfall. Many people assumed that Tracy would follow the same pattern of the previous cyclones.
