Copies found in cyclone shelter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clones

'copies' is the definition.
(cloning is a kind of copying)

'in cyclone shelter' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'CLONES' is hidden in the letters of 'cyclone shelter'.

'found' is the link.

(Other definitions for clones that I've seen before include "Identical copies produced by genetic engineering" , "Identical copies of cells" , "Genetically identical copies" , "Organisms reproduced asexually" , "Genetically identical organisms derived from a single cell" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
