Not at all.

A hurricane is only one type of storm out of many.

A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of at least 74 mph.

Many storms (such as everyday thunderstorms) are not tropical and do not produce winds nearly that strong.

A few storms other than hurricanes are thunderstorms, tropical storms, tornadoes, extratropical lows, derechos, and sandstorms
