ouragan


Explanation:
Exactement comme cela qu'est défini "Hurricane" dans Reverso.
http://dictionnaire.reverso.net/anglais-definition/Hurricane

A lot of sites deal with this phenomenon:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone
http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/about/about-tropical-cyclones....

Cela se traduit par "ouragan" en français.
