a Cyclone is an Large scale rotating air mass over the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean. A tornado is a weather phenomenon that is a violently rotating column of air and it happens on land, like in this case, no? Julie Crowell (talk) 16:15, 21 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Julie Crowell: very old tornadoes were often referred to as "cyclones" - the word "tornado" didn't really pick up until the 1930s. In this case WP:COMMONNAME prevails. ^EF⁵ 16:19, 21 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

wait, do you know when I comment? or did you just happen to come across this comment? Julie Crowell (talk) 20:31, 21 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

I started this page and thus have it watchlisted; you just-so-happen to comment on articles I have watchlisted often (ie Tornadoes of 2026, the March 13-16 outbreak, and this). ^EF⁵ 20:35, 21 January 2026 (UTC)Reply
