his was the first time on record that three major hurricanes were spiraling at the same time in central/eastern Pacific Ocean. The first time three category four storms occurred simultaneously in any ocean basin. And it also marked the first time that two major hurricanes (Kilo and Ignacio) existed in the central Pacific Ocean at the same time.
Hurricane Jimena was the strongest of the bunch, with wind speeds topping out at 150mph on August 31, but Kilo and Ignacio were not that far behind, with winds over 135mph. However, the best news about these three juggernauts is that they pose little threat to land as they churn away in the waters of the northeast Pacific Ocean.
