A cyclone is a
violent storm. It never comes alone. Heavy showers of rain, thunder and
lightning are its companions. When a cyclone blows, it moves round and round in
the form of small circles. It always changes its course when it blows. It does
not move in the same direction like an ordinary storm. It occurs mostly in warm
parts of the world. India is in this region of the world. Hence cyclones often
blow over it. There are no cyclones in cold countries.
There are some signs of the blowing of a cyclone. The
weather becomes hot. There is not a breath of wind. Patches of dark cloud
gradually spread in the sky. At last, the sky becomes dark. A storm sets in.
The wind then begins to blow violently. From these we can understand that a
cyclone is about to begin. Then it rains very heavily. Rashes of lightning are seen. Thunders begin to peal loudly. The wind
begins to blow furiously. There is a
roaring noise. The wind continues to
blow for some hours. Sometimes it continues for a couple of days together.
The effect of the blowing of a cyclone is terrible as big
trees fall down. Houses are blown away. It results in damage to life and
property. The water of rivers rises as there are huge waves in them. Many boats
are drowned. Everywhere dead bodies of men and beasts can be seen. Crops are destroyed. People suffer much. They
become homeless and helpless. There is scarcity
of food. A famine can break out
after a cyclone. The miserable condition of the people cannot be fully
described. Other people then try to help them with money, food and clothes.
A cyclone is a terrible evil. But man has no power to
prevent it.
