"#HurricaneDora became #TyphoonDora as it crossed the international date line into the western Pacific Ocean late Friday, becoming only the second tropical system on record to remain at hurricane strength across the eastern, central and western Pacific basins.

Having traveled nearly 10,000 miles in total, including 5,000 miles across the #Pacific Ocean, Dora was the longest-lasting Category 4 hurricane on record in the Pacific before weakening in recent days."

#HurricaneDora now identifies as #TyphoonDora.

Only the 2nd tropical system known to have maintained cyclone strength from the Eastern Pacific to the Western Pacific.

Even more impressive is that Dora began back on July 17 when it first emerged as a tropical wave, in the eastern Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa. It's traveled 10,000 miles so far.
