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) |

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:
“The talk of sheltering woman from the fierce storms of life is the sheerest mockery, for they beat on her from every point of the compass, just as they do on man, and with more fatal results, for he has been trained to protect himself, to resist, to conquer.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“From this elevation, just on the skirts of the clouds, we could overlook the country, west and south, for a hundred miles. There it was, the State of Maine, which we had seen on the map, but not much like that,—immeasurable forest for the sun to shine on, the eastern stuff we hear of in Massachusetts. No clearing, no house. It did not look as if a solitary traveler had cut so much as a walking-stick there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We, the lineal representatives of the successful enactors of one scene of slaughter after another, must, whatever more pacific virtues we may also possess, still carry about with us, ready at any moment to burst into flame, the smoldering and sinister traits of character by means of which they lived through so many massacres, harming others, but themselves unharmed.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“‘Society’ in America means all the honest, kindly-mannered, pleasant- voiced women, and all the good, brave, unassuming men, between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Each of these has a free pass in every city and village, ‘good for this generation only,’ and it depends on each to make use of this pass or not as it may happen to suit his or her fancy.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
