The Cyclone
Picture
it's a twister
In “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” published in 1900, Chapter 1 is titled “The Cyclone”:
Suddenly Uncle Henry stood up.“There’s a cyclone coming, Em,” he called to his wife. “I’ll go look after the stock.” … The north and south winds met where the house stood, and made it the exact center of the cyclone. In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher, until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather. "

“Cyclone” is an old-fashioned word for tornado. Before 1950 or so, “tornado” was considered a term that could cause public panic, says Jim Keeney, severe weather program manager for the National Weather Service in Kansas City.
