Cyclone Tracy Short Stories

These Cyclone Tracy Short Stories make interesting reading. The cyclone had a devastating impact on Darwin and a lasting effect on many people who were not even in Darwin in 1974 when it hit.

(These are deliberately published without any editing)

Tracey's Power.

the winds were unimaginably strong. There was no sign of shelter and people with terrified faces huddled together. my family was in the middle of it. We had been through something like that. We never ever returned. our dog always howls in a storm. He cannot bear them. Neither can we.
