Most tropical <a href="/wiki/Cyclone" title="Cyclone">cyclones</a> create fast winds and heavy rain. While some tropical cyclones stay out in the <a href="/wiki/Sea" title="Sea">sea</a>, others pass over land. They can be dangerous because of flooding and because the winds pick up objects, including things as big as small boats. Tropical cyclones can throw these things at high speeds.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources" title="Wikipedia:Citing sources"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

They begin as a group of storms when the water gets as hot as 80 °F (27 °C) or hotter. The <a href="/wiki/Coriolis_effect" title="Coriolis effect">Coriolis effect</a> made by the Earth's rotation causes the winds to rotate. Warm air rises quickly.

The "<a href="/wiki/Eye_(cyclone)" title="Eye (cyclone)">eye of the storm</a>" is the center. It has little rain or wind. The eye wall has the heaviest rain and the fastest winds. It is surrounded by <a href="/wiki/Rainband" title="Rainband">rain bands</a> which also have fast winds. Tropical cyclones are powered by warm, humid ocean air. When they go onto land, they weaken.

A tropical cyclone with this wind speed usually develops an eye, which is an area of calm conditions at the center of its circulation. The eye is often seen from space as a small, round, cloud-free spot. Around the eye is the eye wall, an area where the strongest thunderstorms and winds spin around the storm's center. The fastest possible continuing wind speed found in tropical cyclones is thought to be around 85 m/s (165 kt, 190 mph, 305 km/h). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
