Answer 2

WELL THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE I'M A STORM CHASER AND FORECASTER AND THOSE PEOPLE THAT ASK THOSE QUESTIONS JUST ISNT VERY EDUCATED WITH THE WEATHER TOPICS OR ANYTHING ELSE TO DO WITH WEATHER, SO THEY WANT ANSWERS TO THIS QUESTION JUST BECAUSE REALLY THEY HAVE NO CLUE, AND THERE ARE ALOT OF DIFFERENT TERMS THAT CAN BE USED WITH ALL THE WEATHER EVENTS, ESPECIALLY TORNADOES.

Answer 3

Because a "cyclone" is in the news today.

As for why they keep asking' the same question -- that happens all of the time. Some people don't know how to use the search function.

Answer 4

maybe they feel like asking themselves, not just reading someone elses answer.
