The Darwin Cyclone

About three months after the city of Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) was hit by a fierce storm, Srila Prabhupada spoke of “buses flying in the sky.” The Darwin cyclone (Cyclone Tracy) took place in the early hours of Christmas Day, 1974, and ravaged the entire city, which had approximately 70 million inhabitants. Seventy per cent of homes were destroyed or suffered severe structural damage, 49 people were killed and about 19 lost at sea.
