Sepia photograph showing streetscape of Rankin Street, Innisfail, in the aftermath of the cyclone that made landfall on the 10th March 1918. The timber building to the left has no identifiable markings but is believed to have been the Queensland Bank. The concrete building next to it is A.S. Mellick's General Merchants. During the storm, around 200 people sheltered in the basement of the store. In the image, a woman in white is walking down the street with an open umbrella and carrying a book. A second figure is in the background standing outside the front of the bank
