Cyclones Travel 600 to 700 Miles Each Day

They are hundreds of thousands of square miles, travel about 60 to 70 miles daily on average, and bring rain or snow as they approach. Storms do not require a funnel cloud or a cyclone cellar, and the most violent storms occur in the North American interior, especially in the Midwest, in late spring and summer.
