That one little fella in South America - must have been confusing as fuck for them.
Is the only one Brazil ever recognized as a hurricane. But it’s believed that they happen every once in a while, they are just not classified correctly.
Why wasn’t it recognised as a cyclone? Was it spinning backwards?

As a hurricane, not as a cyclone. There’s a minimum intensity necessary to get classified as a hurricane.

(I’ve written cyclone by mistake, and changed the comment. You may be reading an older version of it.)
