I gotta learn to Google better (or you need to do your research before you start saying Cyclones are tornados).

In meteorology, a cyclone is an area of low atmospheric pressure characterized by inward spiraling winds that rotate counter clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere of the Earth. Since the generic term covers a wide variety of meteorological phenomena, such as tropical cyclones, extratropical cyclones, and tornadoes, meteorologists rarely use it without additional qualification.

Wow - someone took the meteorology class at Iowa State!
(btw, that was a fun class, and anyone out there looking for an elective, that's certainly one to take)
