East Pacific (Western Hemisphere), East of the Pacific International Dateline storms are called Hurricanes.

My son lives in LA...he was visiting me here when Katrina hit. I expect he’s keeping an interested eye on this one.

When Rick turns north, as it arcs towards Baja, It will generate some huge swells destined for south facing beachs in socal.

AFAICS, this "Hurricane" is in the Pacific.

Cyclonic storms in the Atlantic OR the eastern Pacific are hurricanes. In the western Pacific they are typhoons. In the Indian Ocean they are just cyclones.

Thankfully we had a quiet hurricane season in the gulf!

Isn’t there a chance that Rick might possibly get to Texas as a tropical storm?

Highly unlikely a tropical storm would be intact after traveling 400+ miles inland to West Texas.

Anything is possible with a storm that big and close to Texas. We can use some rain but I hope none of the bad winds come over.

Wasn’t Ike still dangerous when it got to the midwest, Quebec, and even Iceland (according to wiki), well over 400 miles from Galveston?

Joe Bastardi on FOX just said that Rick will likely be hitting south Texas on Thursday, then getting into the southeast US by the weekend. He also said it might hit Cabo as a cat 3!! Definitely need to keep a lookout on this one.

Ike was extratropical when it reached Arkansas. You asked if Hurricane Rick would reach Texas as a Tropical Storm. I stand by my reply.

Joe B’s deal is that he will err on the side of the worst-case scenario for the sake of those in harm’s way. He doesn’t apoligize for that, nor should he.
