Hurricanes come from the Atlantic side of the US, and Typhoons come from the Pacific. That is the only difference. They are the same thing, just a different name for it.

The terms "hurricane" and "typhoon" are regional specific names for a strong "tropical cyclone". A tropical cyclone is a generic term for a synoptic scale low-pressure system over tropical or sub-tropical waters with organized convection and definite cyclonic surface wind circulation.

"hurricane" (the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E)

The simple answer is strength and location. But they're both the name of ice cream smoothie treats I believe.
