From the air, a cyclone looks like a large rotating mass of cloud, with a distinctive "eye" in the centre.

When one is in a cyclone, the conditions are extremely windy, often accompanied by heavy rain. Trees can be bent and broken by the force of the wind, and flying debris poses a major hazard. Contrary to some opinions, cyclones do not look anything like a tornado from the ground. There is also a brief respite while the eye passes overhead.

A typhoon is another name for a tropical cyclone. So a typhoon looks just like a hurricane, since it is a hurricane.

Tropical cyclones are generally round, white (from the clouds which form it) and with a well-defined eye in the center. They rotate counter-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the southern (where they are often called anticyclones).
