Hold on I’m confused. I thought that was a tropical hurricane so what is a tropical hurricane?

[@MichaelBrown-ny3et]

What happened to Tropical disturbance, tropical depression?

What happened to the word hurricane?

[@ojm850699]

Tropical cyclone is a generic term for an organized tropical non-frontal low pressure system. Hurricanes are “strong” versions of tropical cyclones so not all tropical cyclones are classified as hurricanes

40mph? That’s nothing. Houston is lucky once again
