Call it a hurricane, call it a tropical cyclone--it's powerful!
"Hurricanes are the most violent storms on Earth.
People call these storms by other names, such as typhoons or cyclones, depending on where they occur.
The scientific term for all these storms is tropical cyclone.
Only tropical cyclones that form over the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific Ocean are called "hurricanes."
