I’m confused.. the article calls it both a hurricane and a tropical storm. Plus, aren’t Pacific storms called typhoons, not hurricanes?

[Openurmind]

Anything north of the equator in the east pacific is now called a Hurricane. And anything below a Category 1 Hurricane is considered a Tropical Storm.

So it started as a Tropical Storm, grew into a Cat 4 Hurricane, and then slowed back down to a Tropical Storm again.
