Tropical Cyclone Althea was a Category 4 cyclone when it hit the coast some 50 km north of Magnetic Island and Townsville in North Queensland on December 24, 1971.{{cite web |url=http://reg.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/althea.shtml |publisher=Bureau of Meteorology |title=Severe Tropical Cyclone Althea. Summary. |access-date=2011-03-05 }} Althea produced peak gust wind speeds between 123 and 145 miles per hour (197 and 233 km/h). Three people died and property damage was estimated at A$115 million loss (1990 value). On Magnetic Island 90% of the houses were damaged or destroyed.{{cite web |url=http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/history/althea.shtml |publisher=Bureau of Meteorology |title=Severe Tropical Cyclone Althea. Summary. |access-date=2011-02-02 }} In Townsville houses were lifted from their foundations and most trees stripped of foliage. Althea was also notable at the time, as it had struck a major city.

Although there was a dangerous storm surge associated with TC Althea (between 2.8 and 3.6 metres) little flooding occurred because the cyclone made landfall on a low tide. However, the combination of storm surge and wave action demolished The Strand sea wall and houses in low-lying areas were inundated with up to 0.6 metres of water.
