Hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones are exactly the same-except for where they form or Ocean of origin.
Hurricanes in the Atlantic and East Pacific,
typhoons in the West Pacific,
and cyclones in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific.
However, tornadoes are a completely different phenomenon and are much more localized, small scale "twisters", that can at times have winds of nearly 300 MPH (WAY higher than the most powerful hurricanes).
