1.
A violent storm, often of vast extent, characterized by high winds rotating about a calm center of low atmospheric pressure. this center moves onward, often with a velocity of twenty or thirty miles an hour.
2. in general, a condition of the atmosphere characterized by a central area of pressure much lower than that of surrounding areas, and a system of winds blowing inward and around (clockwise in the southern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the northern); -- called also a low-area storm. it is attended by high temperature, moist air, abundant precipitation, and clouded sky. the term includes the hurricane, typhoon, and tropical storms; it should not be applied to the moderate disturbances attending ordinary areas of low pressure nor to tornadoes, waterspouts, or “twisters,” in which the vertical motion is more important than the horizontal.
3. A tornado. see above, and tornado.

1.
the term introduced into meteorology by Piddington, in 1840, as a general name for the class of extensive storms at sea that were at that time supposed to be characterized by the revolution of air in circles about a calm center.
2. any atmospheric movement, gentle or rapid, general or local, on land or at sea, in which the wind blows spirally around and in toward a center.
3. popularly, a tornado (such as occur in the western states), or any destructive storm. see tornado, waterspout, and whirlwind.
