حذر وترقب وخوف .. سيول وطوفان قد تجتاح سواحل سيدني الليلة !!

Quote: The northern Australian city of Darwin was devastated early on Christmas morning 1974 when hit by the tropical weather depression that was given the name Cyclone Tracy. As the eye of the cyclone passed over the city between midnight and 7.00am on Christmas morning torrential rain fell and the winds were officially recorded at 217 kilometres per hour prior to the Bureau of Meteorology anemometer being destroyed. Houses and other buildings disintegrated under the onslaught, accompanied by the sounds of flying debris and breaking glass. With the cyclone’s passing 65 people were killed (including 16 lost at sea) and many more were injured, 70% of Darwin’s homes were destroyed or suffered severe damage, and all public services – communications, power, water and sewerage – were severed
