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:
“Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
“The more important the title, the more self-important the person, the greater the amount of time spent on the Eastern shuttle, the more suspicious the man and the less vitality in the organization.”
—Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 5 (1980)
“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The settlement of America had its origins in the unsettlement of Europe. America came into existence when the European was already so distant from the ancient ideas and ways of his birthplace that the whole span of the Atlantic did not widen the gulf.”
—Lewis Mumford (1895–1990)
