Or am I wrong and the storm near Mexico called John is still in the Gulf of Mexico?

1.a tropical cyclone or hurricane of the western Pacific area and the China seas.
Thus one near Mexico is a hurricane, one near Japan is a typhoon.
Its all just silly semantics

It's all the same phenomenon.
"Hurricane" in Northeastern Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Carribbean.
"Typhoon" in Western Pacific and South China sea.
"Cyclone" just about everywhere else.
Hawaii has hurricanes, the Philippines has typhoons.
