As a city, we will be flying our flags at half-mast and illuminating Council assets, as well as Castle Hill white alongside cities around Australia as a sign of our support.

Do you remember "The Night of Noah"?

When it rains in Tonwsville, it "really" rains!

The Night of Noah occurred on 10 January 1998, when Townsville experienced its wettest ever 24-hour period, recording 549 millimeters of rain. The event was associated with Ex-Tropical Cyclone Sid, which had already caused flooding north of Townsville.

I remember over half the city being without power and the Strand road washing away in areas!
