According to meteorology, typhoons are deadly storms, with a closed, circular fluid movement rotating in the direction of the earth. These cyclones are usually characterized by inward spiral winds, rotating clockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. The circulation of most large cyclones is concentrated in low pressure areas. In the obscenity of nature, many hurricanes occur at different times on the earth, which cost a lot in human suffering and destroying valuable assets. But some are the largest cyclones, which seem to be fatal and seriously affect the target area. Now we want to use the severity of the disaster to illustrate the world's largest typhoon.

Violent typhoons were born during the strong El Ni ñ o warm period from 91 to 94. Hurricane "enich" received a category 4 wind, which was carried out near Kauai Island.

2. Typhoon Nina 1975
Unlike ordinary typhoons, Nina hit China and quickly destroyed the Banqiao dam. The collapse of the dam magnified the pressure of the typhoon and affected all parts of China. With more than 100000 deaths, the huge typhoon "Nina" is undoubtedly the second deadliest cyclone in the recorded heritage.
1. Typhoon Bora in 1970
The deadly cyclone hit East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and the Indian state of West Bengal on November 12, 1970.

Strong tropical storm the intensity of strong tropical storm caused by strong tropical storm is completely caused by strong tropical storm. It flooded most low-lying islands in the Ganges delta and almost wiped out villages and crops on the earth.
Hurricanes are a deadly disaster, mainly in coastal areas, moving rapidly in a circular way. The biggest typhoons often occur in violent attacks on humans, causing life, property and economic losses. Despite all the damage, there are no preventive measures. Only we can take preventive measures to protect ourselves.
