Hurricanes are one of several types of tropical cyclones that occur in oceans and coastal regions. Here's how they differ from other storms.

A Florida-bound storm has strengthened into Hurricane Nicole after pounding the Bahamas and state officials ordered evacuations that included former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club. It’s a rare November hurricane for storm-weary Florida, where only two hurricanes have made landfall since recordkeeping began in 1853 — the 1935 Yankee Hurricane and Hurricane Kate in 1985. At 6 p.m. EST, the storm was 105 miles (170 kilometers) east of West Palm Beac h, Florida, the Miami-based National Hurricane Center said. Its maximum sustained winds were recorded at 75 mph (120 kph), and the system was moving west at 12 mph (19 kph).

Local 4 Meteorologist Bryan Schuerman is breaking down the differences between storm terms, and how accurate the forecasts were.

A Metro Detroit man with a home he’s selling in Fort Myers, Florida watched through a doorbell camera as Hurricane Ian moved through the area.

Here is the weather forecast for Metro Detroit.

As Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida, Disney World and many other amusement parks are closing — forcing tourists to cancel their trips.

Hurricanes -- like the storm currently making landfall in Florida -- are one of several types of tropical cyclones that occur in oceans and coastal regions.

Hurricane Ian is currently hitting the Gulf Coast of Florida after strengthening to a Category 4 storm before making landfall, possibly near Port Charlotte.

Rainfall could top more than 18 inches, and storm surges could push as much as 18 feet of water over nearly 100 miles of coast.

There are many ways to categorize a hurricane. The storm’s central pressure is one way. The height of its storm surge is another. How much rain it drops is another. And, of course, the strength of its wind is another. But what causes a hurricane to strengthen or weaken? The answer is simple enough, but multifaceted.

So, what’s a meteorologist from Detroit doing tracking a hurricane in Florida?

When a hurricane threatens the United States, a lot of attention is focused on the path and the wind speed. Storm surge can be just as important to monitor, because it can quickly cause extreme destruction and death.

We are fully into Hurricane season, and the first big storm to hit the United States will soon make landfall.

One of the most defining factors of a hurricane’s severity is the strength and speed of the wind it produces.

Hurricane Ian strengthened into a major Category 3 hurricane overnight.

Tropical Storm Ian became Hurricane Ian on Monday morning. The storm has winds of 75mph. Ian is expected to become a major hurricane within the next day or two.

With maximum sustained winds of 50 MPH Sunday morning; rapid intensification is still forecast over the next few days

With wind remaining at 45 MPH, we are looking at Ian becoming better organized with rapid intensification forecast Sunday into Monday

Tropical Depression 9 formed Friday morning and could impact Florida by next week.

Watches and warnings are in place across the Caribbean, as Hurricane Fiona has passed through Puerto Rico and is expected to make landfall in the Dominican Republic Monday.

Here’s a look at the rarity of an August without a named tropical storm or hurricane over the Atlantic Ocean. It looks like we will probably make it through August without a tropical weather system becoming strong enough to be a named storm in the Atlantic. It may be a quiet hurricane season so far, but the saying in Florida is it only takes one hurricane at your house to make a bad hurricane season. According to NOAA, “An average hurricane season produces 14 named storms, of which seven become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes.”1997 remained a less-than-active hurricane season with only nine named storms. In contrast, here is the total hurricane season in 2020, a very active hurricane season.

The freshly-minted pop star is up for the night's four biggest awards, including album of the year.

For the second year in a row, we’ve exhausted the list of names allocated for the Atlantic hurricane season.

When there’s a tropical storm or hurricane moving across the ocean, part of what’s so intimidating about it is that it’s so unpredictable. We really never know where it might make landfall, or how powerful it might be when it does.

Tropical Storm Nicholas has weakened to a tropical depression as it slowed to a crawl over southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana as its heavy rains continued to drench the area, maintaining a flood threat.

Strengthening off of the Gulf Coast Monday, Tropical Storm Nicholas is threatening to soon make landfall in Texas, possibly as a hurricane.

Hurricane Larry, which is growing in the central Atlantic and could reach Category 4 strength Saturday, could hit Bermuda and, possibly, Newfoundland.

Hurricane Ida may not pack the strong winds it once had when it hit Louisiana, but it’s still dumping an insane amount of rain in its path, including on New York City.

Tropical Storm Ida was downgraded from a hurricane overnight Sunday and was one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever make landfall in the mainland U.S.

Hurricane Ida made landfall Sunday, wreaking havoc on the Louisiana coast, and leaving major cities like New Orleans without power.

Two years later and in some ways, Texas is still reeling from the historic and catastrophic Hurricane Harvey.

Henri, which is expected to slam New England starting late Saturday, strengthened from a tropical storm into a Category 1 hurricane. It could be the first hurricane to hit the region in 30 years.

Meteorologists often refer to the right side of a hurricane as the “dirty side” of the storm.

Given its location next to the Gulf of Mexico, one would think that the Tampa Bay region would have an extensive history with hurricanes. On the contrary, that's not the case.

It’s great that summer is here, but that means another major season has arrived, too: Hurricane season.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center has warned of life-threatening storm surges, flooding and isolated tornadoes.

We thought we’d ask: What storm-related advice do you wish you had received sooner?

Whether you’re stocking up for hurricane season or replenishing canned food or pantry items just to keep on hand, sometimes it’s hard to know what to buy.

Whether you’ve experienced a bad storm yourself, or maybe it was your friends or relatives who had to survive the ordeal, it’s better to ask these questions before we’re in the midst of a disaster: Have you ever received advice about how to prepare for a hurricane that really stuck with you?

Clean water is essential to a person's health and well-being.

It’s quite a daunting task, to ready yourself for a severe weather situation when you have a new baby in tow.

Hurricanes are a strong force of nature. Many have seen the toll they can take on people, homes and land, but there are a few things you may not know about the storms, and they’re pretty intriguing.

With any major storm, winds and heavy rainfall have the power to create massive power outages.

Clouds gather over Playa Gaviota Azul as Tropical Storm Zeta approaches Cancun, Mexico, early Monday morning, Oct. 26, 2020. (AP Photo/Victor Ruiz Garcia)MIAMI – Hurricane Zeta lashed Mexico's Caribbean coast resorts around Tulum with high winds and rain Monday night as it headed toward the Yucatan Peninsula and then a possible landfall on the central U.S. Gulf Coast at midweek. It was the second time this month that boat captain Francisco Sosa Rosado had to perform the same maneuver, after Hurricane Delta hit the resort in early October. Trees felled by Hurricane Delta barely three weeks earlier still littered parts of Cancun, stacked along roadsides and in parks. There was also a Tropical Storm Zeta in 2005, but that year had 28 storms because meteorologists later went back and found they missed one, which then became an “unnamed named storm."

How familiar are you with all the storm terms and hurricane categories? Do you know the difference between a Category 2 storm and a Category 5?

Louisiana residents who are still recovering from the devastation of a powerful hurricane less than two months ago braced for another hit as Hurricane Delta steamed north through the Gulf on Thursday after swiping Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the Associated Press reported. “They do not retire Greek alphabet storm names -- at least so far,” Gross said. The last time we went through all the letters of the alphabet and moved on to the Greek alphabet was 2005. In 2005, a record-breaking year of devastating hurricanes, we made it through six Greek letters. The Committee also agreed that it was not practical to retire into hurricane history a letter in the Greek alphabet.

Watch live here:Read more: Tropical Storm Beta makes landfall, brings flooding to TexasStorm surge and rainfall combined Tuesday to bring more flooding along the Texas coast after Tropical Storm Beta made landfall, threatening areas that have already seen their share of damaging weather during a busy hurricane season. The storm made landfall late Monday just north of Port O’Connor, Texas. Early Tuesday, Beta was 35 miles (56 kilometers) north northwest of the city with maximum winds of 40 mph (64 kph), the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was moving toward the northwest near 3 mph (4 kilometers) and is expected to stall inland over Texas.

HOUSTON – As Tropical Storm Beta neared the Texas coast Monday, the biggest unknown was how much rainfall it could produce in areas that have already seen their share of damaging weather during a busy hurricane season. Rain from Beta was already coming down Monday in the Houston area. Earlier predictions of up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) in some areas were downgraded Monday to up to 15 inches (38 centimeters). Forecasters and officials reassured residents Beta was not expected to be another Hurricane Harvey or Tropical Storm Imelda. Harvey in 2017 dumped more than 50 inches (127 centimeters) of rain on Houston, causing $125 billion in damage in Texas.

MIAMI Tropical Storm Rene was menacing the Cabo Verde islands on Tuesday after forming off the coast of West Africa. The Atlantics earliest known 17th named storm, Rene breaks the previous record of Rita, which formed Sept. 18, 2005. It was one of two storms that formed Monday; Tropical Storm Paulette took shape earlier in the day in the central Atlantic, far from land. Rene was centered about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south-southeast of Santo Antao with top sustained winds of 40 mph (65 kmh), and moving west at about 15 mph (24 kmh). Paulette, meanwhile, had maximum sustained winds were 50 mph (85 kph) with modest strengthening expected over the next few days.
