Crossover Storms From Eastern Pacific To Atlantic
See also: List of Atlantic–Pacific crossover hurricanesThis includes only systems which stayed a tropical cyclone during the passage or that maintained a circulation during the crossover.
| Season | Storm (Pacific) | Storm (Atlantic) |
|---|---|---|
| 1842 | Unnamed | Unnamed |
| 1902 | Unnamed tropical depression | Unnamed |
| 1923 | Unnamed | Unnamed |
| 1949 | Unnamed | Unnamed |
| 1961 | Simone | Inga (see below) |
| 1965 | Unnamed tropical depression | Unnamed |
| 1989 | Cosme | Allison |
In addition to those, there are apparently two additional ones. One existed before 1856 and made it to the Gulf of Mexico. Another Pacific tropical cyclone crossed over central Mexico and also made it to the Gulf sometime after September 9, 1924.
With reanalysis, doubt has arisen over whether Tropical Storm Simone, the renamed Hurricane Hattie, recrossed the North American continent and actually became Tropical Storm Inga.
It used to be that when a Pacific named storm crossed North America and made it to the Atlantic (or vice versa), it would receive the next name on the respective basin's list. This policy has since been changed to a tropical cyclone keeping its name if it remains a tropical cyclone during the entire passage. Only if it dissipates and then re-forms does it get renamed.

Famous quotes containing the words storms, eastern, pacific and/or atlantic:
“In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Really, there is no infidelity, nowadays, so great as that which prays, and keeps the Sabbath, and rebuilds the churches. The sealer of the South Pacific preaches a truer doctrine.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Boys hide in lunging cubes
Crouching to explode,
Beyond the Atlantic skies,
With cheerful cries
Their barking tubes
Upon the German toad.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
