Lagoona22: Radders, question....where do they use "Typhoon" and where do they use "Tornado"...sorry...I gotto go..

Typhoon is the Pcific equivalent of the Hurricane.
A Tornado can occur in those Storms,but happens particularly on the N.American Plains,with Windspeeds in excess of a hurricane.

A tornado is a violent, rotating column of air which is in contact with both the surface of the earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud. Tornadoes come in many sizes but are typically in the form of a visible condensation funnel, whose narrow end touches the earth and is often encircled by a cloud of debris.

Most tornadoes have wind speeds between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 110 mph (177 km/h), are approximately 250 feet (75 m) across, and travel a few miles (several kilometers) before dissipating. Some attain wind speeds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h), stretch more than a mile (1.6 km) across, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 km).

Although tornadoes have been observed on every continent except Antarctica, most occur in the United States. They also commonly occur in southern Canada, south-central and eastern Asia, east-central South America, Southern Africa, northwestern and southeast Europe, western and southeastern Australia, and New Zealand.




HURRICANE/Typhoon

A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure center and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. Tropical cyclones feed on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air. They are fueled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.

The worst I remember was in December 1988 when most of Malta was flooding and a women drowned in Valley Road, B'kara... but just last night I was watching TV and on this programme 'Grajjietna' it was mentioned that early on in the 20th century there was a very bad wind in Malta... it was sometime in November as well... it damaged I don't know how many aeroplanes, killed two people... unrooted trees... anyways... if someone finds information about it and would like to share... cause I was half asleep last night :-)
