A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. A tropical depression is a tropical cyclone with winds less than 39 mph. Above that limit it is considered a tropical storm. A tropical depression is of much lower intensity and is generally not as well organized as a hurricane.
