What is a cyclone? Cyclones are massive, rotating storm systems that form over warm tropical oceans. When warm, moist air rises from the sea surface, it creates an area of low pressure. As more air rushes in and begins to swirl, it creates the strong winds and heavy rainfall we see in these storms.
Keep an emergency kit ready with water, batteries, and a radio, and always follow instructions from local weather authorities during storm alerts.
