Big waves that occur during a tropical cyclone are known as storm surges. These are elevated sea levels caused by strong winds and low atmospheric pressure associated with the cyclone. Storm surges can result in significant coastal flooding and pose a major threat to coastal communities.
Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi was a very powerful and destructive tropical cyclone that made landfall in northern Queensland, Australia on 3 February 2011
Cyclone is the generic name for severe tropical storms which occur around Australia and south of the equator in the western Pacific and southeast Indian Ocean.
Cyclone is a generic term for a low pressure system with counterclockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere or clockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere. Cyclones can occur over both land and water, but tend to be stronger over water.
Tropical cyclone warning centres are located in these cities as they are the major centres along the coasts where most cyclones occur. Cyclones rarely hit as far south as Perth, but Perth is the capital of Western Australia, and the centre for communications - thus it is a logical location. Brisbane is in a similar situation. Darwin is right in the middle of cyclone territory.

Yes. Texas can be affected by both tropical and extratropical cyclones.
It happened in Burma,Saturday, May 4, 2008.
A tropical cyclone is characterized by organized convection and thunderstorms. This convection, fueled by warm, moist air, is what powers a tropical cyclone. Because of the amount of moisture needed, these systems can only develop over warm ocean water. Because of their tropical origin, tropical cyclones usually form in environments of relatively little temperature contrast. The core of a tropical cyclone is generally warmer than its surroundings. A temperate cyclone, more often called and extratropical or mid-latitude cyclone usually lacks organized convection. When convection does occur with these systems, it usually does not play a key role in the system's development. They are powered by collisions between warm and cold air masses, and so form in areas of large temperature contrasts. Unlike their tropical counterparts, these systems tend to be strongest in cold environments.
The meteorological department issued an alert that a tropical cyclone could occur. It was later confirmed that it was a tropical cyclone. Several warnings were issued to the people of Darwin to evacuate the area and facilities were provided by road and air. The Defense Force and the Royal Australian Air Force were called to help in the evacuation to prevent disaster due to cyclone Tracy.
The general term for such a storm is tropical cyclone. However, they may be called tropical storms, hurricanes, typhoons, or simply cyclones depending on their intensity and where they occur.
Hurricanes and typhoons occur in tropical areas, but can move into extratropical areas as well. There are different types of cyclone, however. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons, tropical storms and tropical depressions) form in tropical regions but extratropical and polar lows are cyclones as well.
Yes, during cyclone season in spring to early autumn months.
As soon as you see a spinning low pressure system out in significantly hot water out in the ocean this could be the beginning of a cyclone. There are usually spots of ocean that are marked as notorious hot water spots for forming cyclones. From a low pressure system it could then develop into a tropical low and then develop further into a tropical cyclone.
