CyclonesHi , Today I am going to teach you about cyclones. There are many different levels to a cyclone the levels being one ascending to five. A level one cyclone can have wind speeds up to 125 kilometres an hour. A level two cyclone can have wind speeds between 125 and 164 kilometres an hour. A level three cyclone being between 165 and 224 kilometres an hour. A level four between 225 and 275 kilometres an hour and a level five which is 280 kilometres and above. A level one cyclone can become a level five cyclone within a day or two so we have to be careful we have the right security needs. Lots of emergency services such as firefighters and SES crew members help by putting security needs in front of houses and offices.
