this is what climate change will look like in a bit, people having to move because disasters wont stop happening in the area they live in. Where I live its fires, couple of bad fire seasons like we had last year back to back and no ones going to be living here.

I thought they were only called hurricanes in the Atlantic

Nah, hurricanes hit Hawaii, California and Mexo's west coast all the time.

They are called hurricanes, but they rarely make landfall on the west coast of North America because the direction of the winds in the tropics blows east to west (aka away from the west coast).

For some reason I thought the name changed to typhoon or cyclone or something when it was in the pacific. Always seemed like a weird, arbitrary thing to me to have the name be different based on the ocean it was over so I guess it makes sense that I was wrong lol

Cyclones are called Typhoons when they develop between the meridians 180° and 100°E. East of that line, they're called hurricanes. South of the equator, they're typically just called a cyclone.

It hit the damn near exact same spot as another cat 3-4 hurricane (Orlene) just earlier this month! I can’t imagine if a second Ian strolled through less than a month after.
