Darn, passed over again

This year the hurricane names got all the way to S, an increasingly less rare occurrence but still not the norm.  But once again I did not get a hurricane named for me.

How could they be at S and V simultaneously? Pacific storm?

It's not unusual to have two named storms in the Atlantic, because the storms don't patiently wait their turn. The five they had a few days ago was very unusual. Right now the Atlantic has storms Paulette, Sally, Teddy, and Vicky (Rene having dissipated).

Tropical storms stir up cold water, which makes it harder for a second storm to exist in the same area for a while, but not impossible, and a storm in the Gulf of Mexico and one near Bermuda aren't going to interfere with each other.
