All of the above except tornadoes can be considered cyclones. A cyclone is a large scale low pressure system with a defined rotation. Tropical cyclones, which care called hurricanes in the Atlantic and typhoons in the western Pacific also occur in the Indian ocean. In the most extreme cases winds in tropical cyclones can approach 200 mph, making them second only to tornadoes in terms of wind speed.
