Hurricanes and typhoons are tropical cyclones, meaning they can only form and maintain their strength over warm ocean water. Minnesota is much to far from the ocean to get hurricanes. Also, by definition a typhoon is a tropical cyclone in the western Pacific Ocean. Anywhere near the U.S. such a storm is called a hurricane.
