I was going off this Wikipedia article:
>In the Atlantic and the northeastern Pacific oceans, a tropical cyclone is generally referred to as a hurricane (from the name of the ancient Central American deity of wind, Huracan), in the Indian and south Pacific oceans it is called a cyclone, and in the northwestern Pacific it is called a typhoon.

I'm still fuzzy on the terms - moved to Australia and they are different from the terms I learned in the states.
