According to Merriam-Webster, “cyclone” is synonymous with “tornado.”

“Do you know the difference between a hurricane, a typhoon and a cyclone?”

Whatever the differences are I’m sure some libtard think I’m personally causing all of them with my 1986 Ford F-150.

Hurricane: Any strong, tropical or subtropical generated low pressure system independent of weather frontal boundaries which generally threatens North American waters and shores.

Typhoon: Any strong, tropical or subtropical generated low pressure system independent of weather frontal boundaries which generally threatens East Asian waters and shores.

Cyclone: Any strong, tropical or subtropical generated low pressure system independent of weather frontal boundaries which generally threatens everywhere else.

What is the Difference Between a Cyclone, Typhoon and Hurricane?





right?

[Jonty30]

If I could be in a secure location, with a good window to look out of, I think it’d be cool to experience a strong hurricane once.

What is the Difference Between a Cyclone, Typhoon and,an ex-wife?

None, they all take the house.

[posterchild]

Hurricanes contain vodka, rum, and gin.
Typhoons contain gin with no vodka or rum.
Cyclones contain grenadine and amaretto.

I’ll tell you another difference:
A typhoon can make a hurricane look like a summer breeze. They get a lot bigger and have higher winds. Don’t think so? Ride out a few of them and you’ll know.

[Bikkuri]

I disagree...

I went through Hurricane Andrew while stationed at Homestead AFB... absolutely terrifying!!! Winds, at one point, reached over 230 mph..

I have lived in Japan for more than 13 years.. and can’t count how many typhoons I have been through.. and I was able to walk to my nearest convenience store right in the middle of any of them (and I live less than 3 miles from the beach).. Typhoons, to me, are more like a West Texas thunderstorms (without the lightning/thunder).

Cyclones, I have no experience with :p

The spelling

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Hurricanes take money from Nevin Shapiro.

[Constitutionalist Conservative]

People often think they are one in the same.

The grammar, spelling and punctuation doesn't get much better following this.

One thing to say in favor of the MSM: they have better proofreaders.

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone. So is a typhoon. So is a tropical storm.

The general case is "tropical cyclone", the other terms are special instances having to do with their location on the globe or their intensity.
