For a very good explanation start here:\n\nhttp://clearlyexplained.com/nature/earth/disasters/cyclones.html\n\nIf you want some additional information read on:\n\nCyclones\n\nThe terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are regionally specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a non-frontal synoptic scale low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection (i.e. thunderstorm activity) and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation (Holland 1993).\n\nTropical cyclones with maximum sustained surface winds of less than 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) are called "tropical depressions" (This is not to be confused with the condition mid-latitude people get during a long, cold and grey winter wishing they could be closer to the equator ;-)). Once the tropical cyclone reaches winds of at least 17 m/s (34 kt, 39 mph) they are typically called a "tropical storm" and assigned a name. If winds reach 33 m/s (64 kt, 74 mph)), then they are called:\n\n    * "hurricane" (the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E)\n    * "typhoon" (the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline)\n    * "severe tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90E)\n    * "severe cyclonic storm" (the North Indian Ocean)\n    * "tropical cyclone" (the Southwest Indian Ocean) \n\nHow they are Caused\n\nGo to this link for a diagram:\n\nhttp://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/A15.html\n\nTo undergo tropical cyclogenesis, there are several favorable pre cursor environmental conditions that must be in place (Gray 1968,1979) :\n\n1. Warm ocean waters (of at least 26.5°C [80°F]) throughout a sufficient depth (unknown how deep, but at least on the order of 50 m [150 ft]). Warm waters are necessary to fuel the heat engine of the tropical cyclone.\n\n2. An atmosphere which cools fast enough with height such that it is potentially unstable to moist convection. It is the thunderstorm activity which allows the heat stored in the ocean waters to be liberated for the tropical cyclone development.\n\n3. Relatively moist layers near the mid-troposphere (5 km [3 mi]). Dry mid levels are not conducive for allowing the continuing development of widespread thunderstorm activity.\n\n4. A minimum distance of at least 500 km [300 mi] from the equator. For tropical cyclogenesis to occur, there is a requirement for non-negligible amounts of the Coriolis force to provide for near gradient wind balance to occur. Without the Coriolis force, the low pressure of the disturbance cannot be maintained.\n\n5. A pre-existing near-surface disturbance with sufficient vorticity and convergence. Tropical cyclones cannot be generated spontaneously. To develop, they require a weakly organized system with sizable spin and low level inflow.\n\n6. Low values (less than about 10 m/s [20 kts 23 mph]) of vertical wind shear between the surface and the upper troposphere. Vertical wind shear is the magnitude of wind change with height. Large values of vertical wind shear disrupt the incipient tropical cyclone and can prevent genesis, or, if a tropical cyclone has already formed, large vertical shear can weaken or destroy the tropical cyclone by interfering with the organization of deep convection around the cyclone center.

No, they are far more powerful than we are currently.\n\nI have started a Weather Blog in Yahoo 360 which has a 'live link' that is marvelous showing the entire hurricane area of the USA and Carribean.\n\nYou will find it especially valuable when hurricane season starts, but it is impressive right now.\n\nGo to the blog and then look at Blog Roll URLs on the left near the bottom.\n\nMuch other useful weather information there and to come.\n\nhttp://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana

hmmmmmmmmm, south east asia.\n\nthen again tropical cyclones ? atlantic, pacific.

Try www.bbc.co.uk, look at their weather and look for links to the Meteorological Office.

Both Hurricanes and Typhoons are tropical cyclones, though Hurricanes are Atlantic Ocean events while Typhoons are found in the Pacific.

water temperature is a biggie..and more recently..since they've been collecting data on hurricanes for around 30 years now...they're using trend maps to try to see any kind of pattern in Hurricane occurances each year\n\nthere are "ups" and "downs" when it comes to the numbers of hurricanes each year..and this up/down period lasts for several years...we are currently in one of hte "up" periods..and using that past history..correlated with water temperatures off the coast of africa and the location/temperature of the jet stream..its fairly safe to assume a good number..due to large amounts of moisture down there..and the always predictable convective activity (what starts hurricanes..a lifting force that gets the clouds to build)

In my country it's called tropical cyclones. Firinga & Hollanda are the worst ones i have witnessed but before my birth there were three deadly ones: Carol, Claudette & Gervaise

If you go to the following site you will find a list of all the hurricanes from 1900 until 2004.\n\nhttp://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/history.shtml

Hurricane/Storm Differences\n\nHurricane is the name given to violent storms that originate over the tropical or subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, or North Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. Such storms over the North Pacific west of the International Date Line are called typhoons; those elsewhere are known as tropical cyclones, which is the general name for all such storms including hurricanes and typhoons. These storms can cause great damage to property and loss of human life due to high winds, flooding, and large waves crashing against shorelines. \n\nStorm is an atmospheric disturbance in the form of strong winds usually accompanied by rain, snow, or other precipitation and sometimes accompanied by lightning or thunder.\nstorms characterized by area of low atmospheric pressure surrounded by a wind system and often accompanied by rain,storm characterized by extreme cold, strong winds, and heavy snowfall,destructive, violently whirling wind incorporating a funnel-shaped cloud,electrical discharge in the atmosphere often accompanied by thunder

How about doing a search on Hurricane Katrina.  the issues there were huge\n\ngood luck
