So true!! I live in Central Florida but when add hurricanes to the changing nomenclature du jour and start calling them cyclones and over hyping everything from a splinter on, I do tend to start listening with half my attention. Don’t ignore, I’m not stupid- but do question everything
“Over the Atlantic and East Pacific, tropical cyclones are commonly called “hurricanes.” The common term is “typhoon” for a tropical cyclone that forms in the West Pacific. Tropical cyclones are called just “cyclones” in the Indian Ocean and near Australia.”
