What's the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?

1. Same damn thing stupid
2. Where they occur according to the dateline
3. One is intended to wipe out Florida the other is intended to keep relatives from moving in.
4. 1 and 2
   

"Aside from the name, not much. Both are severe tropical systems that have wind speeds greater than 74 mph.

They are called "hurricanes" in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean and eastern Pacific Ocean. But once your go west across the International Dateline and into the western Pacific Ocean, they're called typhoons. And of course, the Australians, who have colorful names for just about everything, have their own term for hurricanes: "willy-willys."

Typhoons generally tend to be stronger than hurricanes, but only because there's warmer water in the western Pacific and are better conditions for storm development."

so there you go... it's no. 4 although i'm sure that many of you wish it's no. 3 as well
