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.

So if it hits these US or Mexico, hurricane. Not us, typhoon.

And yes, I am aware of that, but the article was written/talking about a single point in time. It should be consistent in using one or the other, not interchanging them.
