“In some places it's known as a tornado. In others, a cyclone. And in still others, the Idiot's Merry-go-round. But around here they'll always be known as screw-boys.”
Jack Handy
“HURRICANE, n. An atmospheric demonstration once very common but now generally abandoned for the tornado and cyclone. The hurricane is still in popular use in the West Indies and is preferred by certain old-fashioned sea-captains. It is also used in the construction of the upper decks of steamboats, but generally speaking, the hurricane's usefulness has outlasted it.”
Ambrose Bierce
“One of the fellows called me 'Cyclone' but finally shortened it to 'Cy' and its been that ever since.”
Cy Young
“Cyclone Tracy was a category four, this one when it crossed was category five, so a much stronger system, much more destructive.”
Cathy Muller
“We would be unlucky if that happened again. On the other hand, because of the size of this cyclone, we are certainly going to be affected by at least gales.”
Andrew Tupper
“It's a very rare tropical cyclone making landfall in the Iberian Peninsula,”
