First we must cover the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon, which is only one of location. A hurricane occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or in the northern Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. A typhoon occurs in the northern Pacific Ocean west of the International Date Line.

A major hurricane is a hurricane of at least category 3 strength on the Saffir-Simpson scale, that is with winds of at least 111 mph.

Super typhoon is an unofficial category for a typhoon with winds of at least 150 mph, which is equivalent to a strong category 4 hurricane.
