This time 100 years ago, a 3.6m tidal surge had just swept through Mackay after one of the deadliest cyclones to hit the Queensland coast. The cyclone killed 30 people and destroyed 1000 buildings, around 75% of the Mackay township. But it never got a name - apparently because the BoM employee responsible for naming cyclones was on holiday at the time. Meteorologists rank it as among the top 5 deadliest cyclones to ever hit the Queensland coast. January 20-21, 1918. All photos courtesy of Mackay

Four people died and the suburb of Foulden was wiped out after record-breaking rainfall. Rain gauges overflowed as over 20 homes were washed away and bridges were damaged and destroyed. Do you or your family have memories of the 1958 floods, 60 years on? 🌧️ | ABC Tropical North
