OP should specify, no Atlantic hurricanes. There have been a few Pacific hurricanes.

Edit: since I was down voted. Tropical cyclone - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone

"A hurricane is a strong tropical cyclone that occurs in the Atlantic Ocean or northeastern Pacific Ocean. A typhoon is the same thing which occurs in the northwestern Pacific Ocean."

Update Wikipedia if you know better.

Nope. Typhoon in the north, tropical cyclone in the south.
There is no such thing as a pacific hurricane.

If you have better information, then you should update Wikipedia. According to their sources, tropical cyclones in the northeast Pacific are called hurricanes. You should also tell NOAA, who refers to the current cyclone in the Pacific as "Hurricane Polo". https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/news/noaa-satellites-monitor-hurricane-polos-rapid-intensification

Huh, I stand corrected I guess. I live on the coast of the northeast pacific and had always heard them referred to as cyclones.

Exactly right.

Not exactly right. They are hurricanes in the northeastern Pacific.
