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 |

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.

“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)
“The Eastern steamboat passed us with music and a cheer, as if they were going to a ball, when they might be going to—Davy’s locker.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The doctor of Geneva stamped the sand
That lay impounding the Pacific swell,
Patted his stove-pipe hat and tugged his shawl.”
