The cyclone that hit Myanmare ( i know I didn't spell that right)?

Question

Is a hurricane in that part of the world called a cyclone or was it a tornado? I thought a cyclone was the same thing as a tornado but a death toll of 100,000 is too high for a tornado???

Answer 1

A cyclone is another name for a hurricane. A hurricane, typhoon, and cyclone are the same storms just different names.

-In the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific Oceans are called hurricanes.

-In the Western Pacific they are called typhoons

-In the Indian Ocean they are called cyclones

Well, whatever it is we do know one thing...It is the result of global warming. Just like bear attacks, vampires, and homeless people...
