A cyclone is virtually any large-scale atmospheric low pressure system with a closed circulation, rotating clockwise if in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise if in the southern. This is called cyclonic rotation. They come in a number of varieties. They often produce precipitation and may produce strong winds
A blizzard is a winter storm that produces winds of at least 35 mph, blowing snow, and visibility of 1/4 mile or less. Many blizzards are mid-latitude or polar cyclones.
A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricanes (called typhoons or simply cyclones in other parts of the world) are the strongest of all cyclones with the strongest having winds of 200 mph. They develop over warm ocean water, and are capable of producing large waves, major flooding, and catastrophic damage.
A tornado is a violently rotating vortex of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornadoes share some characteristics of cyclones, most notably that the vast majority have cyclonic rotation, though a small percentage are anticyclonic, meaning they rotate the other way. However, unlike cyclones, which are large scale weather systems usually a few hundred miles wide, tornadoes are relatively short-lived small-scale vorticies dependent on a larger parent thunderstorm. Tornadoes are typically 50 to 100 yards wide, but can be as large as 2.5 miles. Tornadoes are the most violent of all storms, with some having winds over 300 mph.

How do you prevent typhoons -?
Typhoons (AKA hurricanes or cyclones) are natural phenomena. They are among many naturally occurring events - like earthquakes, blizzards, dust storms - which humanity is not able to prevent. This is not to say that we will never be able to prevent them - but it will be a long time before we might be able to. It is possible, however, to build structures, roadways and waterfront facilities in ways that make them more resistant to damage from hurricanes or typhoons.
