Though cyclone, tornado, typhoon and hurricane all refer to wind-based natural catastrophes, each is distinct in meaning. A cyclone is a large-scale atmospheric wind-and-pressure system with low pressure at its centre and circular wind motion, clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. A tornado is a localised, destructive windstorm occurring over land characterised by a long, funnel-shaped cloud that extends to the ground. A cyclone is sometimes referred to as a tornado but it is not technically correct to do so. A typhoon is a tropical cyclone or hurricane of the West Pacific area and the China seas, or of India. A hurricane is again a tropical cyclonic storm of the West North Atlantic having wind speeds of 74 mph.
