First of all, how many of you know the definition of what a cyclone is? I remember studying it in my earlier years but didn't remember what it was exactly. Here is the definition: a storm or system of winds that rotates about a center of low atmospheric pressure, advances at a speed of 20 to 30 miles (about 30 to 50 kilometers) an hour, and often brings heavy rain. That being said, I can't ever remember hearing about a cyclone being in the news. This particular cyclone hit Bangladesh and had 140 mph winds. It killed at least 425 people. High waves were also a problem. It said that this particular area is prone to cyclones. I guess this was just an extremely powerful one. Can you imagine being there when this hit?
Wow This Is Really Sad!
ReplyDeleteI Didn't Know Cyclones Were So Bad.
That Had To Have Been Terrible!
It's Too Bad They Couldn't Warn Everyone Sooner.

I think that cyclones are relly bad. I bet that the people did not like that.
