Cyclone Wanda itself caused no deaths. It was a relatively low-category cyclone (the actual category does not seem to be recorded anywhere) but its beiggest claim to fame was the amount of rain it dumped on the Brisbane catchment area, contributing significantly to the Brisbane floods of January 1974. These floods resulted in 14 deaths.
