rotation causes the growing storm to start to rotate around its center (called the eye). At a certain height, the 
water vapor condenses, changing to liquid and releasing heat. The heat draws more air and water vapor 
upward, creating a cycle as air and water vapor rise and liquid water falls. If the cycle speeds up until winds 
reach 118 kilometers per hour, the storm qualifies as a tropical cyclone. 
Most deaths in tropical cyclones are caused by storm surge. This is a rise in sea level, sometimes seven 
meters or more, caused by the storm pushing against the ocean’s surface. Storm surge was to blame for the 
flooding of New Orleans in 2005. The storm surge of Cyclone Nargis in 2008 in Myanmar pushed seawater 
nearly four meters deep some 40 kilometers inland, resulting in many deaths. 
It has never been easy to forecast a tropical cyclone accurately. The goal is to know when and where the 
next tropical cyclone will form. “And we can’t really do that yet,” says David Nolan, a weather researcher from 
the University of Miami. The direction and strength of tropical cyclones are also difficult to predict, even with 
computer assistance. In fact, long-term forecasts are poor; small differences in the combination of weather 
factors lead to very different storms. More accurate forecasting could help people decide to evacuate when a 
storm is on the way.
