A hurricane and a typhoon are the same kind of storm—both are tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph. The only practical difference is where the storm forms and what regional name meteorologists use.
In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, that storm is called a hurricane. The same type of disturbance in the Northwest Pacific is called a typhoon. In the South Pacific and Indian Ocean, the generic term tropical cyclone is used instead.
