- Cyclone Larry (Innisfail: 2006)
- Cyclone Mahina (Bathurst Bay: 1899)
- Cyclone Fran (Bundaberg: 1993)

Arguably, the most famous cyclone was Cyclone Tracy. It devastated Darwin on Christmas Eve in 1974, "officially" killed 65 people (16 at sea) and injured 650. Nearly 70% of homes were destroyed. Some 35000 people had to be evacuated. The damage bill was $800 million dollars.

Where do cyclones occur the most?
Tropical cyclones are most likely to occur over warm and moist, (tropical) seas and oceans. they do move across seas and builds up, but when the cyclones hits the land it will slow down and will loose energy :) hope this helped :)
What is the two bodies of water that the tropical cyclone form?
Most of the Tropical cyclones what affect to the Philippines form over the Caroline Islands area located in the western part of the North Pacific Ocean. Some also form in the South China Sea.
Why do tropical cyclones produce such violent weather?
Tropical cyclones produce violent weather due to the combination of warm ocean temperatures, high humidity, and low wind shear. These conditions help fuel the storm, allowing it to strengthen rapidly and generate intense winds, heavy rainfall, and dangerous storm surges. The powerful convection within the storm system also contributes to its violent nature.
When do tropical cyclones develop?
If you look are both hemispheres, tropical cyclones can occur in any month. However, they most often occur in summer and early fall. This is generally July-October for the northern hemisphere and January-April for the southern hemisphere.
Which areas are affected the most by cyclones?
Areas most affected by cyclones are typically coastal regions along tropical and subtropical areas of the world. These regions include countries bordering the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic Oceans. The impacts of cyclones can include strong winds, heavy rainfall, storm surges, and flooding, causing significant damage to infrastructure, property, and loss of life.
What is the spatial distribution of tropical cyclones in Australia?

Mid-latitude cyclones are more common and can occur at any time, but are most common and strongest in the colder half of the year.
What is the most powerful and destructive tropical cyclones?
The most powerful and the most destructive tropical cyclones were actually two different storms. The most powerful tropical cyclone on record is Typhoon Tip of 1979 with winds of 190 mph and a pressure of 870 millibars. It is also the largest tropical cyclone on record with a gale diameter of 1380 miles. The most destructive tropical cyclone on record is Hurricane Katrina of 2005, which cause $105 billion in damage.
