Spinning storms of fury… are they hurricanes or typhoons? The truth is, they're essentially the same weather phenomenon! Both are powerful tropical cyclones with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. The difference lies in *where* they occur.
Think of it geographically. We call them **hurricanes** in the Atlantic Ocean and northeastern Pacific Ocean. Cross over to the northwestern Pacific Ocean, and you're dealing with a **typhoon**. That’s it! Same storm, different name, different ocean.
Regardless of the name, these storms pack a serious punch. Stay informed about weather warnings and preparedness tips in your region. Knowing the name doesn't lessen the impact, so always prioritize safety!
