These violent storms occasionally start in the Atlantic and the Pacific in the tropics and subtropics and move with the Trade winds; usually the hurricane/typhoon (called differently in different places) moves eventually to higher latitudes. It ends within 5-14 days but can leave behind mass destruction.
