Do floods happen before a hurricane strikes land?
It depends on how you define "strikes land." Landfall is defined as the point where the eye of a hurricane moves over land, but a hurricane is much bigger than its eye. So the storm bands of a hurricane can cause flooding even if the eye never hits land. However, flooding cannot occur before the bands come in. Even if there is no official landfall, an area can still be said to have been hit.

Does typhoons turn into hurricanes when they hit land?
No. A typhoon is essentially the same thing as a hurricane, the difference is where in the world they occur. A hurricane is a storm that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or eastern Pacific.

However, a hurricane that crosses into the western Pacific becomes a typhoon and a typhoon that crosses into the eastern Pacific becomes a hurricane, though this is less common.
