It must be a northern hemisphere thing.  We call them cyclones down here.  I
tend to think of these hurricanes as typhoons when the storm system remains
wholly at sea.

There's been a few cyclones up in the Soloman Islands, watched closely by our
weather bureau fellas in recent months.  Late in summer/autumn we did have at
least one originating there, that tracked to our far northern coastal areas
and luckily petered out.

Cheers,
Paul.
