∙ 11y agoA hurricane usually starts out as something called a tropical disturbance, which is a disorganized area of low pressure with a few showers ans thunderstorms. If the system organizes to the extent that its winds form a closed circulation then it is called a tropical depression and given a number e.g. the 5th depression of the Atlantic season is Tropical Depression Five. If the winds of the depression reach 39 mp then it becomes a tropical storm and is given a name. Sometimes a disturbance with strong winds skips the depression phased and organizes straight into a tropical storm. Finally, once a tropical storm's winds reach 74 mph it is considered a hurricane.
