'''Landfall''' is the approach to or sighting of [[land]], or point of rest after a [[voyage]] or [[flight]]. It is commonly used when speaking of large, water-based storms, such as [[hurricane]]s or [[cyclone]]s, to speak about the moment when their eyes cross over from the ocean to a large landmass, such as a large island (e.g. [[Cuba]] or [[Japan]]) or the [[mainland]] USA or mainland Asia.
