What is a Hurricane?
It is a specific name for a strong tropical cyclone. Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds of less than 39 mph (34 kts) are called tropical depressions. Once winds reach at least 39 mph, they are typically called a tropical storm and assigned a name. If winds reach 74 mph (64 kts) they are called a hurricane
