Cyclone Tracy was a tropical cyclone that devastated the city of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia, from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day, 1974. It is the most compact cyclone or equivalent-strength hurricane on record in the Australian basin, with gale-force winds extending only 48 kilometres (30 mi) from the centre and was the most compact system worldwide until 2008 when Tropical Storm Marco of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season broke the record, with gale-force winds extending only 19 kilometres (12 mi) from the centre. After forming over the Arafura Sea, the storm moved southwards and affected the city with Category 4 winds on the Australian cyclone intensity scale, while there is evidence to suggest that it had reached Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale when it made landfall.
Tracy killed 71 people, caused A$837 million in damage (1974 dollars), or approximately A$4.45 billion (2014 dollars). It destroyed more than 70 percent of Darwin's buildings, including 80 percent of houses. Tracy left more than 41,000 out of the 47,000 inhabitants of the city homeless prior to landfall and required the evacuation of over 30,000 people. Most of Darwin's population was evacuated to Adelaide, Whyalla, Alice Springs and Sydney, and many never returned to the city. After the storm passed, the city was rebuilt using more modern materials and updated building techniques. Bruce Stannard of The Age stated that Cyclone Tracy was a "disaster of the first magnitude ... without parallel in Australia's history."

Cyclone Tracy was a devastating event that affected Darwin intensely, but also so many others in the rest of Australia. The ripples were also felt in New Zealand by those kiwis that were working in the vicinity and called in to help with the clean up alongside the Australian workers and volunteers. What they saw when they arrived affected them deeply. This is a tribute to those that died in the incident, those that survived, those that helped and those that remember the power of nature.
Edmund John Patrick Collins, also known as Bishop Ted, was the Bishop of Darwin, Australia, from 1986 to 2007. Collins was in Darwin when it was struck by Cyclone Tracy in 1974. When the cyclone hit, he switched on a tape recorder, and recorded the sounds of the storm. The recording is now in the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, as part of the Cyclone Tracy exhibit.

On Christmas Eve 1974 tropical Cyclone Tracy swept through the city of Darwin with devastating high winds and rain tearing through homes and flooding the streets. The devastation of Cyclone Tracy resulted in the deaths of 71 people, 16 of which were never found from 22 vessels that were at sea when the storm struck. With thousands homeless and leaving more than 90% of the town in ruins, Tracy remains one of the most destructive cyclones in modern Australian history. See more at tennews.com.au

From The Film Australia Collection. Made by Film Australia 1975. Directed by Bob Kingsbury, Brian Hannant, Greg Reading, John Shaw, Norman Godbold, David Haythornthwaite and John Noble. Immediately after the tragic events in Darwin in the early hours of Christmas Day 1974, where 65 people were killed, hundreds injured and thousands made homeless by Cyclone Tracy, film crews from Film Australia were sent by the government to document the aftermath and, later, to record the rebuilding of Darwin. Film Australia made four films covering this event: Cyclone Tracy, When Will The Birds Return?, Home Sweet Home and Tracy's Birthday. These films document not only the incredible level of destruction wrought by the cyclone but also the enormous humanitarian effort by the authorities and the courageou...

December 2014 saw the anniversaries of the Boxing Day Tsunami (10yrs) and Cyclone Tracy (40yrs) and horrific murders in Pakistan (130 school children) and the Sydney Lindt Cafe siege. In such a volatile and dangerous world security is found in just one person, Jesus Christ. This sermon examines why that is so.
