The Pacific Northwest is now getting Cyclones (Pacific Hurricanes)

I think I speak for many PNW folks when I say we always thought that was more of a Florida thing.

Interesting. Thanks!

Per NOAA, "In the North Atlantic, central North Pacific, and eastern North Pacific, the term hurricane is used." Source. I thought that the appropriate term for a hurricane-like storm anywhere in the Pacific was "typhoon," but it appears that that is reserved for the Western Pacific. So continuing your trend of learning a thing about this and helping others learn it today too!
