CYCLONE• “Kyklocin”-Greek word which means to circle

or whirl.• An area of low pressure containing rising air

with winds spiraling into the center.• Hurricane(huraken)– occurs in West indies, Atlantic Oceans, and Indian

Ocean• Typhoon(tufanarabic)– Occurs in the tropical countries like the Philippines

• TROPICAL STORM–Has wind speed of 63 kph to 118

kph

• TYPHOON–Has wind speed 119 kph and higher

I heard from a weather forecast that four cyclones are coming to my island. Help me overcome these cyclones and keep me alive by using the right shield for a storm with a specific Public Storm Warning Signal issued by PAGASA.

Hello! I’m John the handsome

stick.

I have different shields and I don’t know what to use. Each shield can defend me from a specific range of wind speed. The right shield to be used is determined by the PSWS. Mismatched shield cannot help me.

The first one is coming…

PSWS # 1

20kph-50kph

40kph-70kph0kph-20kph

30kph-60kph

Which shield shall

I use?

PSWS #2

60kph-70kph

60kph-120kph60kph-90kph

60kph-100kph

The second cyclone.

Which shield shall I use?

1PSWS # 3

100kph-120kph

100kph-185kph 100kph-170kph

100kph-150kph

It’s stronger this

time.Which shield shall I

use?

PSWS # 4

185kph-200kph

>185kph=185kph

>185kph

The final wave.

Which shield shall I use?

Great! PSWS # 1 :Tropical cyclone winds of

30 kph to 60 kph are expected within the next

36 hours.

NEXT

Haha! PSWS # 2 :Tropical cyclone winds of

60 kph to 100 kph are expected within the next

24 hours.

NEXT

Awesome! PSWS # 3 :Tropical cyclone winds of 100 kph to 185 kph are

expected within the next 18 hours.

NEXT

Great! PSWS # 4 :Tropical cyclone winds of greater than 185kph are expected within the next 12 hours.

NEXT

Ahhh! It’s not working! Try another one before I throw up…

Help! It’s not

working! Let me live. Try

another one…

Oh! It’s not working! Hurry! Try another one before the strong winds blow me…

Ahhh! It’s not working!

Allow me to live another

day. Try another one…

WOOOH! I’M ALIVE! Y0U DID A GREAT JOB!!!

Thank you for helping me!!!

You have already determined the different PSWS

depending on the wind speed of the cyclone.

There have been so much damage

to my island. What were the other forms of natural

disasters that were caused by these

cyclones?

A storm surge is an offshore rise of water associated with a low pressure weather system, typically tropical cyclones. Storm surges are caused primarily by high winds pushing on the ocean’s surface. The wind causes the water to pile up higher than the ordinary sea level.
