Cyclones occur more frequently, these days ! You have analysed the scientific reason for it ! Well written haiku....

If it clockwise then becomes anticyclone...interesting, isn't it.

Me too Andrea, so sad when you watch TV and see the devastation it leaves in its wake, people losing everything they own. The power of notice nature should never be under estimated. Tom
