Hurricanes form over warm ocean water and derive their energy from warm, moist air. During the T2K nuclear winter (or "nuclear fall") you're likely to get less hurricanes, and those that do form are likely to be less energetic.

There are other types of storms though. I'd say what we'd be talking about would be more like autumn-winter low pressure system storms. The combination of severe winds and low temperatures would be pretty brutal in the T2K environment.

Maybe I'm being overly pedantic. Some poor soldier in the middle of nowhere enduring a bad storm won't care much about the details of its formation or the correct meteorological terminology for it I guess.
