It's probably occurred before, but to be honest...I can't ever remember seeing it in all the years I've been observing tropical storms....not from south Texas to Southern California (when they strike Texas they usually recurve or completely dissapate somewhere before reaching the Pacific).

Thanks for bringing it to our attention Helen :)

from the ATL it's odd, but WPAC Typhoons have been known to transit all of SE Asia after landfalling in Viet Nam and redevelop in the Bay of Bengal. Also, there have been instances of EPAC landfallers where the moisture remnants made it to the Atlantic Ocean.

It shows just how strong the Western Ridge/Eastern Trough Couplet is which forced Claudette on the south side of the Western Ridge ...
