The loss caused and problems created due to sea storms shock the mankind. The expanse of Tropical cyclone is in a lesser area, due to the velocity of pressure being extreme, winds blow at a very high speed. When they originate, their size is smaller, but as they move ahead, their size and the speed of winds both increase.

These cyclones move ahead with an average speed of 15 km to 25 km per hour. The speed of winds in these cyclones is 200-400 km/hr. As they start from sea regions, they contain significant humidity in them. 

The problems which emerge due to sea storms can be described with the help of the following points:

1. In the coastal areas, they cause heavy rainfall along with rapid winds. 

2. Due to fast speed of winds, trees are uprooted, electric poles and means of communication are badly effected. 

3. The buildings collapse and huts fly away in the air. 

4. There is an atmosphere of chaos all round. 

5. The crops in the field are destroyed. 

6. Sea tides and waves break into the city due to rapidly-blowing winds and they cause destruction at a large scale. 

7. The boats are turned down and sailors’ lives fall in danger.
