Cyclone is a small place in McKean County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community, which means it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county.
This community got its unique name because of a powerful tornado (also known as a cyclone) that hit the area a long time ago.
About Cyclone
Cyclone is located in McKean County, which is in the northern part of Pennsylvania. An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it's not officially a city or a town with its own mayor or town council. The county government handles things like roads and services for these areas.
How Cyclone Got Its Name
The name Cyclone comes from a real event. A very strong tornado once struck this area. Tornadoes are powerful, spinning storms that can cause a lot of damage. Because of this memorable event, the community was named Cyclone to remember the storm.
