Explanation

A hurricane is a rotating storm system with winds exceeding 75 mph (119 km/h). The term specifically refers to tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Northeast Pacific. Tornadoes are different storm types, and 'cyclone' has regional naming conventions. 'Gustnado' is a smaller, short-lived phenomenon.
