So what the heck is a cyclone? Am I crazy, or is this the first news story to talk about a cyclone instead of a hurricane or a tornado? According to wikipedia "A tornado is also commonly referred to as a twister, and is also sometimes referred to by the old-fashioned colloquial term cyclone" so are we talking about a colloquial tornado? There also seems to be something called a tropical cyclone (or hurricane). Anyhow am I the only person who has noticed this? Are we moving back to the colloquial? Also according to wikipedia "The generic term covers a wide variety of meteorological phenomena. These include tropical cyclones,and extratropical cyclones, so meteorologists rarely use "cyclone" without additional qualification." Now I don't expect the world to follow the strict rules of meteorologists, but this is really strange, and I want to get to the bottom of it. PLEASE if you READ this BLOG opine in the comments section as to why the hell all of a sudden this thing is called a cyclone. Based on your feedback I will determine the correct answer and let you know (shortly after the awards are announced!)
Lady Antebelleum is New Country. I have tried a few times to give this New Country business a chance, but every time is disappoints. New Country sucks. The little man has left his chair.
