    A typhoon is a tropical cyclone with winds faster than 74 mph that occurs in several Pacific and Atlantic ocean regions. Typhoons are categorized from 1 to 5 based on wind speed and potential damage, with tropical depressions having winds below 62 kph possibly causing minor landscape damage, and super typhoons above 220 kph capable of widespread structural failure. Proper preparation is needed before, during, and after a typhoon strikes.
