Well that was appearantly the wrong term. Hurricanes develop from a tropical storm over the ocean and move west,they are twisters and need warm waters to build up energy. You get them in Florida for example. I guess the media compared it to the strength of a hurricane.

No it wasn't. Orkan does not equal hurricane.
