An ill-wind..

• In the early hours of December 25, 1974, a small
  but exceptionally intense cyclone, codenamed
  Tracy, passed slowly and directly across the
  city of Darwin. The destruction it caused was the
  worst suffered at that time by an Australian
  city. It was turned into a ruin dislocated,
  without essential services its survivors
  shocked, bereaved and mostly lacking even basic
  shelter the majority of the population had to be
  evacuated. Between 50 and 60 of its 11,000
  houses and flats were damaged beyond repair with
  only a few hundred left more or less intact.
  Before the cyclone, Darwin was a vigorous,
  growing city with a population of about 48,000.
