Riddle

It is destruction made out of thin air, You hear it howl and give a prayer, Through barns and houses it will tear. It is a deadly funnel, Of violent and twisting air.

Choose an answer

A.tornado
B.typhoon
C.cyclone
D.hurricane
Hint: It's a word with 9 letters, starting with "H".

Answer

hurricane

Why this is the answer

The poem's imagery of a howling, tearing, twisting funnel of air actually fits a tornado slightly better than a hurricane, but the source names it a hurricane -- the answer is a loose fit for its own clues.
