Tropical storm summary
Tropical storms are called cyclones or Typhoons. Depending on where you live in the world.
When a cyclone strikes, buildings are flattened and trees get ripped out of the ground.
Cyclones form over warm Tropical oceans.
The surface temperature of the water must be at least 26.c before a cyclone can begin.
The cyclone consists of high-speed winds blowing in a circular fashion around a low-pressure centre.
This ring of low pressure is called the eye of the storm.
