 Tropical cyclones are large, rotating system of clouds, wind and thunderstorm that get energy from the release of the heat of condensation of water vapor at high altitudes. Depending on strength (at least 63 knots, 73 mph, or 117km/h), and location, the storms are called tropical disturbances, tropical depressions, tropical storms, typhoons, or hurricanes.
In the North Atlantic Ocean, the North Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, and in the South Pacific Ocean east of 160°E tropical cyclones are called hurricanes after the Amerindian storm god Huracan (Spanish huracán). Tropical cyclones are called typhoons, a word blended from the Chinese phrase tái feng (‘big wind’) and Portuguese tufão, the Urdu, Persian and Arabic tufãn, and the Greek tuphõn, in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline and the Southwest Indian Ocean. In the Southwest Pacific Ocean and the Southeast Indian Ocean the same intensity levels are known as severe tropical cyclones.
Memorable storms illustrated include Hurricanes Andrew, Bertha, and Michelle.
