Cyclone History

Cyclones, also known as hurricanes or typhoons in different regions, are powerful storms forming over warm ocean waters. Their history dates back centuries, with significant impacts on societies. Notable events include the 1900 Galveston Hurricane in Texas, causing immense loss of life, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which devastated New Orleans and highlighted the importance of disaster preparedness. Climate change is intensifying these storms, leading to more extreme weather events. Understanding cyclone history helps communities prepare, respond, and adapt to these natural disasters, mitigating future risks and saving lives.
