Eastern typhoon destroyed something alluring (8)
I believe the answer is:
honeypot
'something alluring' is the definition.
'eastern typhoon destroyed' is the wordplay.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'destroyed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'e'+'typhoon'='etyphoon'
'etyphoon' anagrammed gives 'HONEYPOT'.
(Other definitions for honeypot that I've seen before include "place attracting many?" , "Mecca?" , "Centre of attraction" , "attractive thing" , "Winnie the Pooh's jar?" .)
