00:25But the very climate that makes the tropics so enjoyable is exactly what feeds tropical cyclones.
00:35The wind speed gets above 63 kilometers per hour. They are called a tropical storm.
00:41If they get up to 119 kilometers per hour or greater, then that tropical storm becomes the big daddy of them all, becomes a hurricane.
00:55What determines whether it's a hurricane, a cyclone or a typhoon is where they originate.
01:00They begin in the Atlantic Ocean. They're called hurricanes.
01:04And it comes from the indigenous word for storm god, which is hurricane.
