Yes: willy willy. That's a severe tropical cyclone. Correction: Contrary to popular belief, a willy-willy is not a severe tropical cyclone. A willy-willy is a small, harmless twister that does nothing more than collect dust and debris as it sweeps along. In the Southern Hemisphere, cyclones are known as cyclones. In the northern helishpere they are known as either hurricanes or, in parts of Asia, typhoons. Cyclone is the generic term for a severe tropical storm that can be categorised into varying degrees of destructiveness, according to the speed of the winds.
