Typhoons, cyclones, and hurricanes are the same thing. Typhoons occur in the western Pacific Ocean
Hurricanes occur in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and the Gulf of Mexico; intense form of tropical storm
Cyclones occur near the Indian Ocean and Australia.
They need very warm ocean water and an air disturbance to keep warm air rising to last.
No, there has not been a hurricane named Lucy in the Atlantic hurricane basin. The name Lucy has not been used for tropical cyclones in the Atlantic.
Yes, two hurricanes can merge to form a single, more powerful storm. This phenomenon is known as the Fujiwhara effect, where two tropical cyclones rotate around each other and eventually merge into one larger storm.
There has never been a tornado name Sheila as tornadoes are not given names like hurricanes are. The name Sheila is included on the list of tropical cyclones (generic for hurricanes, typhoons, etc.) in the area of Fiji and was used once, but the storm only reached equivalent to tropical storm intensity.
Yes. There was a Tropical Storm Elaine in the Atlantic Ocean in September of 1974.
Brazil has only ever had one tropical cyclone (the generic term for hurricanes, typhoons etc.) that reached hurricane intensity in its recorded history. The terms hurricane and typhoon are only used to describe such storms in the northern hemisphere, and typhoon only applies in the western Pacific.
No. The name Brandon has not appeared on any naming lists for tropical cyclones.
While it is generally well protected it does receive severe winds and the effects of tropical cyclones.
No, there has not been a hurricane named Lucy in the Atlantic hurricane basin. The name Lucy has not been used for tropical cyclones in the Atlantic.
No. Tropical cyclones (the generic term for hurricanes, tropical storms etc.) are extremely rare in the South Atlantic. Only a handful have ever been documented and only one on record has ever reached hurricane intensity. The closest thing Uruguay has ever gotten to a hurricane was a very weak subtropical storm.
Hurricane Kelsey did not exist in the Atlantic hurricane basin. The names of tropical cyclones are predetermined and repeated every few years, but "Kelsey" has not been used as a hurricane name in the Atlantic.
Yes. It it fairly common for hurricanes to produce tornadoes when they make landfall. Therefore, any state that can get a hurricane could get a hurricane-spawned tornado. Some states, notably in the far northwest, will rarely if ever be affected by either tropical cyclones or by tornadoes, because the weather systems there are not conducive to their formation. The state of Alaska has had only 2 confirmed tornadoes over the last 65 years and only post-tropical cyclones.
There is no hurricane season for Rio de Janeiro. Tropical cyclones (hurricanes and tropical storms) are extremely rare in the Atlantic Ocean south of the equator. Only one storm on record in the southern Atlantic has ever reached hurricane intensity.
Cyclone is generally the name given to the violent meteorological disturbances that occur in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere terms for cyclones are typhoons (in Asian waters) and hurricanes (in the Americas). No hurricane has ever made landfall on the western coast of USA (including California) in recorded history.
according to the story behind the Edmund Fitzgerald, there was in 1975. but that one and the one in 1913 are the only ones i have ever heard of. Edit: There have been some fierce storms on the Great Lakes, especially Superior, but none have technically been hurricanes or tropical systems of any sort.
If You Ever Leave Me Standing was created in 2000.
Don't Ever Leave Me was created in 1949.
no since hurricanes only happen in the Atlantic ocean but Dubai can experience a rare severe cyclonic storm that originates from the Arabian Sea.
