What is a cyclone? A tropical cyclone is a massive, spinning storm that starts over warm ocean waters. As heat and moisture rise from the sea, they create clouds and wind that begin to swirl. These storms can bring heavy rain and strong winds as they move toward land, fueled by the ocean's energy.
Stay away from windows and keep a flashlight ready in case the wind causes a temporary power outage.
