I hadn't previously heard of the Tracy Cyclone that hit Darwin AU until reading this book. It was very interesting to hear the similarities in problems they had after the cyclone and the aftermath of the earthquake in Anchorage AK in 1964. Maybe that is why the two cities are Sister Cities? The beginning of the book was a bit overwhelming with data. But once the narrative got in to the stories of the residents of Darwin, the story was more accessible and I found myself cheering for individuals.
