The exports and imports are halted in sea ports due to the cyclone. Some people lose their jobs as well. A mature tropical cyclone can release heat at a rate upwards of 6×10 14 watts. [1] Tropical cyclones on the open sea cause large waves, heavy rain, and high winds, disrupting international shipping and, at times, causing shipwrecks. [2]
Extratropical cyclones can also be dangerous when their low-pressure centers cause powerful winds and high seas. [120] A subtropical cyclone is a weather system that has some characteristics of a tropical cyclone and some characteristics of an extratropical cyclone. They can form in a wide band of latitudes, from the equator to 50°.
Tropical cyclone forecast model – computer program that uses meteorological data to forecast tropical cyclones and their potential impact. Tropical cyclone forecasting – the science of forecasting a tropical cyclone's strength, intensity, and potential effects in land areas.

Damage in New York totals to $90 million (2003 USD, $98 million 2006 USD). [86] In and around New York City, about 1.1 million customers were left without power, though most outages were fixed by the day after the hurricane passed through the region. [87] Offshore of Long Beach, rough waves killed a man while bodysurfing. [88]
It caused $30 billion in damage and more than 40 deaths. It was the costliest natural disaster in the history of the U.S. at the time. When the 1992 hurricane season ended, the name Andrew was ...
A bomb cyclone is a storm that strengthens so fast that the central atmospheric pressure plunges 0.71 of an inch (24 millibars) or more in 24 hours or less. The central pressure in Tuesday's bomb ...
[10] [11] Cyclones can transition between extratropical, subtropical, and tropical phases. [12] Mesocyclones form as warm core cyclones over land, and can lead to tornado formation. [13] Waterspouts can also form from mesocyclones, but more often develop from environments of high instability and low vertical wind shear. [14]
