Hurricanes, typhoons and tropical cyclones are different names for the same type of storm. A tropical cycloneis called a hurricane in the North Atlantic Ocean, South Pacific Ocean, or the Northeast Pacific Ocean on the eastern side of the dateline. A typhoon occurs in the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline. In other parts of the world, these storms are called severe tropical cyclones. In Britain, it's just a bit wet and windy, until the press get hold of the story, then it's armageddon
