The National Hurricane Center said Lala’s maximum sustained winds increased to 75 mph (120 kph), making it a Category 1 hurricane. The storm’s center was forecast to move over or near the island’s southern end by the evening, lashing its worst winds at volcanic slopes thousands of feet above sea level.


The term is tropical cyclone, no matter where it forms. Typhoon and hurricane are colloquial names.
As I stated in the first sentence of my comment.
