    Wonder why all times before we had Tropical Storm / Hurricanes and this time around they changing the name to Cyclone, is it because Cyclone sounds deadlier than Tropical Storm or Hurricane???

    According to experts: Called hurricanes when they develop over the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, these rotating storms are known as cyclones when they form over the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, and typhoons when they develop in the Northwest Pacific.

    So with that said did this Tropical Storm wasn’t formed in the Atlantic!!!

    Garçan allyou need to stop dat Foolishness about making people Believe in that crap of Global Warming/ climate change yeh!!!

    So now allyou gonna come say is because of Global Warming/ Climate Change Cyclones now affecting the Caribbean Islands???
