The Cyclone roller coaster – built in 1927, it is one of the United States's oldest wooden coasters still in operation. Popular with roller coaster aficionados, the Cyclone includes an 85 ft (26 m), sixty degree drop. It is owned by the City of New York, and was operated by Astroland, under a franchise agreement. It is now located in and operated by Luna Park.

Trees battered by the passage of a tropical cyclone.
River red gums that had been heavy with lush foliage just weeks earlier had leaves stripped and branches snapped off by powerful winds. Nearly a week later, the air still seemed very clear. Almost as though the drenching cyclonic rains had only just passed, cleansing the atmosphere of all air-borne dust in their wake.

The Coney Island Cyclone (better known as simply the Cyclone) is a historic Wooden roller coaster in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn, New York City. The Cyclone was operated by Astroland until it closed on September 7, 2008. It is currently operated by the newly created Dreamland Amusement Park.
The Cyclone was declared a New York City landmark on July 12, 1988, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 26, 1991.
The success of 1925's Thunderbolt and 1926's Tornado led Jack and Irving Rosenthal to buy land at the intersection of Surf Avenue and West 10th Street for a coaster of their own. With a $100,000 investment, they hired Vernan Keenan to design a new coaster. A man named Harry C. Baker supervised the construction, which was done by area companies including National Bridge Company (which supplied the steel) and Cross, Austin, & Ireland (which supplied the lumber). The final cost of the Cyclone has been reported to be around $146,000 to $175,000. When the Cyclone opened on June 26, 1927, a ride cost only twenty-five cents compared to the $8 in the 2009 Season.
In 1935, the Rosenthals took over management of Palisades Park. The Cyclone was put under the supervision of Christopher Feucht, a Coney Island veteran who had built a ride called Drop the Dips in 1907, and then doing minor retracking work on the Cyclone. The ride continued to be extremely popular; one of its many stories is from 1948, when a coal miner with aphonia visited Coney Island. According to legend, he had not spoken in years but screamed while going down the Cyclone's first drop, saying "I feel sick" as his train returned to the station. He prompty fainted after realizing he had just spoken
On July 31, 2007, a 53-year old man broke several vertebrae, while riding the cyclone. He died four days later. This is the only time in the Cyclone's history that a person died after sustaining injuries from the ride.
By the 1960s, attendance at Coney Island had lowered. By 1968, the Cyclone was deteriorating and it was shut down in 1969.[verification needed]
In 1971, the Cyclone was bought by the city of New York for one million dollars. Lack of riders hurt profits, and the ride was condemned. In 1972, it was nearly destroyed because the New York Aquarium (which is located adjacent to the ride) wanted to expand.[7] A "Save the Cyclone" campaign ensued, and the coaster was leased to the Astroland amusement park for $57,000 per year. Astroland's owners had the ride refurbished, and it reopened on July 3, 1975.
In 1978, it was featured in the film version of The Wiz as the home of its version of the Tinman, and its size compared to the rest of Oz raised to enormous proportions. In the 1980s, events like the Mermaid Parade and Sideshows by the Seashore brought visitors back to Coney Island and the Cyclone. Despite the closing of Astroland Park on September 7, 2008, the Cyclone will remain in operation due to its status as a New York City landmark. The ride is now owned completely by (75 feet along 834 Surf Avenue and 500 feet along West 10th Street, 40°34′30″N 73°58′39″W / 40.575°N 73.9775°W / 40.575; -73.9775) the Parks Department. The former concession stands, built into the structure of the roller coaster, are now home to the Coney Island History Project[10], and a stand selling Cyclone based shirts, hats, and on-ride photos.
The Cyclone was declared a city landmark in 1988 and a National Historic Landmark in 1991.
In 1977, Richard Rodriguez, (USA) set a marathon record of 104 hours. Richard was only age 19 when he broke the record. Today, he currently holds the record for the longest marathon on a roller coaster with 401 hours on the Pepsi Max Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach in England.
The roller coaster's 70th birthday was celebrated in 1997 with a tightrope walk by Tino Wallenda between the ride's two highest points; that year, a single ride cost four dollars. The track today is 2,650 feet long (including six fan turns and nine drops) and a 26 meter drop at its highest point; the first drop is at a 60 degree angle. Each of the three trains is made up of three eight-person cars, but only two trains can run simultaneously. The ride's top speed is 97 km/h and it takes about one minute and fifty seconds. As of June 28, 2008, the current cost was eight dollars with a five dollar "reride" option. The "re-ride" option also gives riders the ability to choose their seats. In addition, a souvenir booth located near the exit sells photos of passengers taken at the first drop. The Coney Island Cyclone is an ACE Coaster Classic and Coaster Landmark; it has also been honored by baseball's Brooklyn Cyclones as the source for their team name.
The popularity of the Cyclone has inspired several coasters to share the exact same layout (or a mirror version of it). Until 2005, there were four duplicates of the Cyclone at Six Flags parks. Two of these have been demolished: the Psyclone at Six Flags Magic Mountain and the Texas Cyclone at Six Flags Astroworld. Two duplicates still run, however, the Georgia Cyclone at Six Flags Over Georgia and Viper at Six Flags Great America, both of which are mirror images of the Cyclone but share the same layout. Overseas, duplicates of the Coney Island Cyclone include the Bandit at Movie Park Germany, the White Canyon at Yomiuriland (located in Japan), and the Aska at Nara Dreamland (demolished in 2006), which was also in Japan.

Cyclone michaung deprived us of power supply for two days and rain water logging with sewage thrown us out of normal life.
This is the first time we faced two days power cut.
After some protests and dharna organized by our streeters Corporation men cleared the flow and everything fine now.

Quite an unusual one here. The CC (Car Craft) Cyclone was a kit car built from the late 90's to early '00s and was apparently a very good quality kit, with the finish on this one certainly backing that up. Only 30 or so were made, so they're quite rare too.
Recognise the rear lights?
This particular car is apparently especially interesting as it's chassis no. 1 and was the original prototype car. It was originally metallic burgundy, so has obviously had a colour change at some point.

The Mercury Cyclone is an automobile produced by the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company from 1964 to 1971. It started as a performance model of the 1964 Mercury Comet, and was named the Mercury Comet Cyclone through 1967. For 1968, the "Comet" part of the name was dropped. Options such as GT, Spoiler and Cobra Jet were added and removed. In 1971, it was integrated into the Mercury Montego line as their performance model.[1]History
1964
The Cyclone started as an option for the 1964 Mercury Comet. It featured a 289 cu in (4,736 cc), 210 hp (156.6 kW) engine and a sporty look. It had a spoked steering wheel and bucket seats. Some of the engine parts were chromed in the style of muscle cars.
1965
In the 1965 models, the engine was updated to the four-barrel carburetor version of the 289 cu in (4,736 cc) unit, but generated 200 hp (149.1 kW). The '65 had a few performance options, which include a handling package, a special fan, and a "Power Transfer" rear axle. Special features included a black out, stand-up grille, bucket seats with sew-through pleats, centre console, chrome-plate wheel covers with lug nuts, engine "Dress Up Kit", unique insignias, a vinyl roof in black or white and a Power-Pac gauge cluster for the heavily padded instrument panel.[2]
1966
1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT Hardtop
The 1966 models underwent a major styling change. The body received "sculpturing" that ran the length of the car, and was based on the body of the Ford Fairlane. The models introduced new engines. The 390 Y code was a 390 cu in (6,391 cc) engine with a two-barrel carburetor and 265 hp (198 kW). The 390 H code had a four-barrel carburetor and 275 hp (205 kW).
The GT option used a 390 S code engine which was a 390 cu in (6,391 cc) engine with a four-barrel carburetor and 335 hp (250 kW). The GT featured car stripes, a fiberglass hood (bonnet) with scoops[jargon] and several other performance options.
1967
The 1967 model was produced with several engine options. The standard engine was the 289 V8 with 289 cu in (4,736 cc) and 200 hp (149 kW). The GT's engine was 390 cu in (6,391 cc), but was quoted with 15 fewer horses at 320 hp (239 kW).
Neither the 1966 Cyclone nor the 1967 Cyclone used the 427 cu in (6,997 cc) side-oiler[jargon] engine that went into the standard Comet. Only badges[jargon] told of the 410 hp (306 kW) under the hood (bonnet).[clarification needed 410 hp for standard Comet or Cyclone?]
1968
The 1968 models dropped "Comet" from their name. The Cyclones had a mid tire level body tape stripe. The Cyclone GT's had an upper level body stripe, buckets, wide whitewall tires, special wheel covers, all vinyl interior, and the special handling package. It was named the fastest car of that year,[how?] because it set a world record speed of 189.22 mph (304.52 km/h) at Daytona.[clarification needed]
Several engines were available for the Cyclones:
The 302 cu in (4,949 cc) standard engine was available as either the two-barrel carburetor, which generated 210 hp (157 kW), or the four-barrel carburetor, which generated 230 hp (172 kW).
The 390 cu in (6,391 cc) optional engine (standard for GT) was available as either the two-barrel carburetor, which generated 265 hp (198 kW), or the four-barrel carburetor, which generated 325 hp (242 kW).
1969
In 1969, the Cyclones had several engine options:
The 302 cu in (4,949 cc) engine was available with 220 hp (164 kW).
The 351 cu in (5,752 cc) engine had two versions: one was 250 hp (186 kW) and the other was 290 hp (216 kW).
The 390 cu in (6,391 cc) engine for the GTs was available with 320 hp (239 kW).
Spoiler II
Main article: Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II
Mercury produced a version of the Cyclone for NASCAR called the Cyclone Spoiler II. The model was available in two flavors. The street version featured a 351 cu in (5,752 cc) Windsor block, and was used to enter into the NASCAR business. The racing version featured a 429 cu in (7,030 cc) Boss block, which was the same engine as the one in the 1969 Boss Mustang.
Cobra Jet
Mercury also added a new model to the Cyclone line: the Cobra Jet (CJ). The Cobra Jet's engine was a 428 cu in (7,014 cc) which generated 335 hp (250 kW). The engine had a Ram Air option, a 735 CFM Holley four-barrel carburetor,[citation needed] although the option showed no quoted difference in horsepower rating. The Mercury Cyclone CJ had the following enhancements over the Cyclone and Cyclone GT: it had a blacked-out grille; dual exhausts; 3:50:1 axle ratio; engine dress-up kit (chromed parts); hood (bonnet) stripes; and a competition handling package.
1970
A 1970 Cyclone 429.
The CJ model was dropped from the Cyclone lineup, and applied to some of the engine names in the series. Mercury thus featured the Cyclone, Cyclone Spoiler and Cyclone GT. The Cyclones consisted of 351 cid V8s and 429 cid V8 engines.
The standard engine for the base Cyclone was the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust that was rated at 360 hp (268 kW) SAE gross (250 hp (186 kW) net). It was the standard engine in the 1970 Mercury Marauder X-100 and was available in other full size models. It featured a 575 CFM carburetor.
Two optional engines were available for the Cyclone. The 429 Cobra Jet was the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust but with the Ram Air induction. It was rated at 370 hp (276 kW) SAE gross (305 hp (227 kW) net) and had a 700 CFM Rochester Quadrajet 4 BBL carburetor. The 429 Super Cobra Jet, which was part of a Drag Pack option, was a 429 cu in (7,030 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust and Ram Air induction, but it was rated at 375 hp (280 kW) SAE gross (335 hp (250 kW) net), and had a 780 CFM Holley 4 BBL carburetor.
1970 Cyclone Spoiler
The Cyclone Spoiler was for the performance minded with front and rear spoilers, racing stripes that went from front to the rear of the car, hood (bonnet) scoop for ram air induction, racing mirrors and a competition package. The 429 Cobra Jet was the standard engine for the Cyclone Spoiler. An optional engine was the 429 Super Cobra Jet.
1970 Cyclone GT
This model featured a non-functional hood scoop, full length lower body side molding, remote and racing mirrors, high back bucket seats, door trim, and a three spoke rim blow steering wheel.
The standard engine for the 1970 Cyclone GT was the 351 cu in (5,752 cc) two-barrel with single exhaust that was rated at 250 hp (186 kW) SAE gross (175 hp (130 kW) net).
The optional engines for the Cyclone GT included the 351 cu in (5,752 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust. It was rated at 300 hp (224 kW) SAE gross (260 hp (194 kW) net), and was available with or without Ram Air induction. The GT can also be outfitted with the other 429 engines.
While a convertible was offered for the Ford Torino in 1970 and 1971, no convertible was offered for the Mercury Montego and Mercury Cyclone in 1970 and 1971.
1971
In 1971, the Cyclone had lost its distinction as it was renamed the Mercury Montego Cyclone. The three variants (Cyclone, Cyclone GT, Cyclone Spoiler) were merged into the Montego line. It sold poorly; the production numbers for the Cyclone were in the triple figures. The Montego Cyclone GT, which used the 351 Cobra Jet engine, sold much better, but still sold less than its predecessors.
1972
For 1972, the Mercury Montego was fully redesigned, with body on frame construction, front and rear coil spring suspension and a new shorter 114" wheelbase for two-door models. The Cylcone was reverted to an performance option package available on Mercury Montego, Mercury Montego MX two doors and the Mercury Montego GT. The package included one of two engines, the 351 cu in (5,752 cc) four-barrel Cobra Jet engine rated at 248 hp (185 kW) SAE net or the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) 4-brarrel rated at 205 hp (153 kW) SAE net. The option group included a functional Ram Air induction through twin integrated hood scoops, Traction-Lok (limited slip) differential, F70-14 for 351 cu in (5,752 cc) cars, and G70-14 tires for 429 cu in (7,030 cc) powered cars, hub caps and trim rings, body striping and identification, three spoke steering wheel and dual racing mirrors. The 351 cu in (5,752 cc) was available with either a 4-speed manual transmission or a 3-speed automatic, while the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) was only sold with an automatic transmission. [3]
Early Mercury factory literature showed this option available, while later editions did not have any information on the Cylcone package. Only 30 1972 Cyclone package cars were produced, 29 Montego GT's and one Montego MX. Twenty of these Cylcones were equipped with the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) engine. [4]

The furious cyclone "Nilam" not only has brought heavy rains but it has intensified into a heavy cyclonic storm. The marina beach in Chennai is completely flooded and the heavy storm is throwing the beach sand all over with huge force. It was like a sandstorm. My t-shirt and my car cover were torn in to pieces due to the force of the storm.

Mercury's entry into the aero-car sweepstakes was a streamlined-version of its fastback Cyclone intermediate. The Cyclone Spoiler II was identical in concept to the 1969 Ford Torino Talladega: both cars employed a stretched, tapered nose and a flush-mounted grille for ideal aerodynamics at superspeedway velocities.
On the track, the NASCAR Cyclone Spoiler race cars were actually a couple mph faster than their Talladega cousins due to their slightly longer bodies and subtle aerodynamic differences. On the street, the showroom versions were slower; the Mercurys had to make do with a 290-bhp 351-cid V-8 hooked to an FMX three-speed automatic transmission, while Talladegas got a 428 Cobra Jet/C6 three-speed automatic combo.
Image acquired February 19, 2010: Tropical Cyclone Gelane had sustained winds of 125 knots (230 kilometers per hour) and gusts up to 150 knots (275 kilometers per hour), according to a report from the U.S. Navy’s Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) on February 19, 2010. The JTWC reported that Gelane was roughly 315 nautical miles (585 kilometers) east-northeast of Port Louis, Mauritius, and was forecast to travel toward the southwest, weakening slightly as it moved.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on February 19, 2010. Gelane’s spiral arms span hundreds of kilometers over the open ocean.
