Once a hurricane moves inland, it is typically referred to as a tropical storm or simply a tropical depression, depending on its sustained wind speeds. The official designation of "hurricane" is reserved for storms that maintain their strength over water. As the system weakens, it loses its hurricane classification but can still bring significant rainfall and flooding.
