Hurricane: a tropical storm in which winds attain speeds greater than 75 miles per hour. The term is often restricted to those storms occurring over the North Atlantic Ocean. Incipient hurricanes usually form over the tropical N Atlantic Ocean and mature as they drift westward. Hurricanes also occasionally form off the west coast of Mexico and move northeastward from that area. An average of 3.5 tropical storms per year eventually mature into hurricanes along the east coast of North America, usually over the Caribbean Sea or Gulf of Mexico. Similar storms occurring over the west Pacific Ocean and China Seas are called typhoons and those over the Indian Ocean are called tropical cyclones 飓 风气旋. Hurricanes are given girl’s names and typhoon are given serial numbers.
