Re: Tropical Storm Flossie Heads for Hawaii

Since I can't PM you the answer...


Cyclones get their name from whatever is the presiding weather service (or services) in the area. For example, in Australia they are called cyclones but the traditional name for cyclones in the Aboriginal culture is Willy-Willies. The name hurricane comes from the Native American world for strong wind (I believe or terrible storm). Typhoon is big wind in China/Japan (again, rough translation). Here is information regarding this:


Hurricanes: Atlantic Ocean and the East Pacific Ocean to the International date line in the northern hemisphere
Typhoons: West pacific beyond international date line and in northern hemisphere
Cyclones: Indian Ocean (Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea), South Pacific, and Australia



Back on topic...quite the annular hurricane Flossie is. Definitely will be interesting to see what happens as annulars just keep going and going and going.
