The storms that people in the United States know as hurricanes have different names in other parts of the world. In the South Pacific and Indian Oceans, they are called cyclones. People in the North Pacific Ocean know these storms as typhoons. Bringing rain, wind, and flooding, typhoons are among the deadliest storms on Earth. Fortunately, weather experts can warn people when these natural disasters are approaching. Part of The Earth’s Worst Natural Disasters series, The Worst Typhoons on Record explains how these devastating storms form and discusses some of the worst typhoons in history.
