Unprecedented Three Category 4 Hurricanes In Pacific At Same Time

By John A. Heatherly

History has been made today! Nothing like this has been observed before and the images are awe-inspiring. Perhaps this storm activity is part of this year’s El Nino phenomenon? Thanks to ScienceAlert for the story.

For the first time in recorded history, three Category 4 hurricanes have appeared in the Pacific Ocean at the same time, and they’re inching ever-closer to the Big Island of Hawaii. The never-before-seen meteorological event involves the hurricanes Kilo, Ignacio, and Jimena, the latter of which has sustained winds of up to 225 km/h.

According to the US Weather Channel, we haven’t seen anything close to this event before – three simultaneous Category 3 hurricanes have yet to be recorded. While the most immediate threat is to the coast of Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, and Taiwan are also currently on watch.
