Three hurricanes are simultaneously crossing the Pacific Ocean, a phenomenon considered rare by scientists. Hurricane Marie recently transformed into a hurricane of as yet unspecified category off the coast of Baja California, followed by hurricanes Karina and Lowell, both category 4, heading west.
