Look west. Hurricane John lashes resorts along Mexico's Pacific coast (Darn; looks liked it missed my ex in PV. I was hoping when it was a 4. I'm bad. Don't tell my kids I said that) iht.com en.wikipedia.org Currently, Ioke was the first Category 5 hurricane ever to form in the Central Pacific and reach that intensity while still in the Central Pacific. It was also only the fifth Category 5 hurricane on record in the Central Pacific (the other four formed in the Eastern or Western Pacific), and the first one since Hurricane John in 1994.[2] Ioke was the most intense hurricane ever recorded in the Central Pacific with a recorded pressure at its peak of 920 mbar (27.179 inHg).[citation needed] Ioke tied Hurricane Emilia of 1994 by reaching Category 5 status twice, both as hurricanes in the Northern Pacific east of the International Date Line. Ioke would go on to restrengthen to a Category 5-equivalent typhoon. en.wikipedia.org (Outdated already; just went back to Cat 5)
