"Cyclone" is the generic term for cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons (but not tornadoes). They are natural disasters because they form purely by natural means, e.g. weather conditions, and they cause disaster when they reach land, having strong, destructive winds. Sometimes they also cause extensive flooding.
