- Siklon Flores 1973 adalah siklon tropis paling mematikan di belahan Bumi selatan yang tercatat sejarah. Bencana ini menewaskan 1.653 jiwa di Indonesia pada April 1973. Siklon pertama kali terbentuk di Laut Banda pada 26 April sebagai sistem tekanan rendah tropis. Sistem tersebut kemudian berkembang dan bergerak ke arah barat daya barat sebelum akhirnya berbelok ke selatan. Pada 29 April, siklon ini mencapai pesisir utara Pulau Flores dan mulai melemah keesokan harinya. Siklon menewaskan 1.500 nelayan di Pulau Palu'e. Curah hujan tinggi akibat siklon ini menyebabkan banjir bandang hingga menghancurkan bangunan dan jalan di Flores. (in)
