Subject: E15) What tropical storms and hurricanes have moved from the Atlantic to the Northeast Pacific or vice versa?Contributed by Stephen Caparotta, D. Walston, Steven Young and Gary Padgett Here is a list of tropical cyclones that have crossed from the Atlantic basin to the Northeast Pacific and vice versa. The tropical cyclone must have been of at least tropical storm strength in both basins (i.e. sustained winds of at least 34 kt, or 18 m/s). This record only goes back to 1949. Before the advent of geostationary satellite pictures in the mid-1960s, the number of Northeast Pacific tropical cyclones was undercounted by a factor of 2 or 3. Thus the lack of many of these events during the 1960s and earlier is mainly due to simply missing the Northeast Pacific TCs. There has not been a recorded case where the same tropical cyclone crossed into the Northeast Pacific then crossed back into the Atlantic. * Atlantic Hurricane Cesar (July 1996) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Douglas. * Atlantic Tropical Storm Bret (August 1993) became Hurricane Greg in the Northeast Pacific. * Northeast Pacific Hurricane Cosme became Atlantic Tropical Storm Allison (June 1989). * Atlantic Hurricane Joan (October 1988) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Miriam. * Atlantic Hurricane Greta (September 1978) became Northeast Pacific Hurricane Olivia. * Atlantic Hurricane Fifi (September 1974) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Orlene. * Atlantic Hurricane Irene (September 1971) became Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm Olivia. * A Northeast Pacific Tropical Storm (September-October 1949) became an Atlantic Hurricane (Storm #10) and made landfall in TX.
The most intense Atlantic hurricane on record was Hurricane Wilma of 2005 with a minimum central pressure of 882 millibars.
There has not been a hurricane Angie in the Atlantic, Eastern Pacific, or Central Pacific basins. The name Angie has not been used as an official hurricane name.
The hurricane hit in late August, and the effects were felt for about a week.
That depends on what you mean by rank. In terms of rating, it was a category 5. It was the second deadliest, eighth most intense, and seventeenth costliest Atlantic hurricane on record.

The most intense hurricane to form in the Atlantic basin was Hurricane Wilma in 2005, which had the lowest recorded central pressure of 882 millibars. This made Wilma the most intense hurricane on record in the Atlantic basin.
Yes, Hurricane Wilma was a strong Category 5 hurricane in the Atlantic Basin. It set the record for the lowest central pressure in an Atlantic hurricane, with 882 millibars, and was the most intense tropical cyclone ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Caribbean Sea (which is a part of the Atlantic Ocean).

No. Africa is not in America, it is a separate continent on the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean. The Americas (North, Central and South America) are on the western side of the Atlantic. Central and South America and Mexico (in North America) are known as Latin America.
No. For one thing, a storm that strikes Japan will be called a typhoon, not a hurricane. Hurricane Mitch was in the Atlantic hurricane basin, and had its worst impacts in the Central American countries of Honduras and Nicaragua.

Basically, they grow the bananas in Central America, so a hurricane there means less bananas to ship out, therefore less bananas in stock.
