With Karl becoming a hurricane, we have three hurricanes at the same time. This is a pretty rare occurrence. The only other years that this has occurred are 1893, 1926, 1950, 1961, 1967, 1980, 1995, and 1998. 1998 even had four hurricanes at the same time!
I was at sea in the western Pacific for most of August 2004, and it seemed that all we did was typhoon avoidance….including 3 at once.
Not 2005?
