Darwin was ripped apart after Tropical Cyclone Marcus tore through earlier today
The eye of the category two storm has now moved past the city but emergency services say it's still not safe to go outside.
Marcus is now headed towards the Timor Sea and is expected to hit Western Australia's Kimberley Coast on Sunday, bringing wind gusts of up to 150km/h.
The storm brought down hundreds of powerlines and trees and damaged property across Darwin and also affected the city's drinking supply.
Residents have been told to boil drinking water as a precaution until further notice.
Meanwhile, water police were called out to rescue two people from two boats that collided after one of them slipped its moorings in Sangove Creek as the storm struck.
