In order they are : tropical disturbance, tropical depression, tropical storm, sustained winds over 74 mph (hurricane/typhoon).

No. A hurricane is an entirely different class of storm from thunderstorms and tornadoes. However, hurricanes often do produce thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Hurricane Sandy started out as a tropical disturbance over the Caribbean Sea. The disturbance was an area of low pressure that produced some showers and thunderstorms. Over the warm waters of the Caribbean the disturbance organized and strengthened first to a tropical depression, then to a tropical storm, then to a hurricane.
