Do cyclones always cause flooding?
Cyclones do not always cause flooding. Cyclone Tracy, which hit Darwin, Australia in 1974 ,was a classic example of a cyclone that hit violently causing widespread destruction, yet very little damage was caused by rain or flooding. Often cyclones degrade into tropical depressions when they hit land, and this is what causes the flooding, but there was very little rain associated with Cyclone Tracy compared to other cyclones.
Would a hurricane cause more destruction or a typhoon?
Both hurricanes and typhoons are powerful tropical cyclones that can cause significant destruction, but the impact of each can vary greatly depending on factors such as intensity, size, speed, and the areas they hit. In general, there is no definitive answer as to which would cause more destruction, as it ultimately depends on the specific characteristics and circumstances of each storm.

What are hurricanes called in other parts of the world?
In the Pacific they are called typhoons. Generically, hurricanes and typhoons are both tropical cyclones.
