Colorado State University hurricane researcher Phil Klotzbach said there has never been two hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico at the same time.
There is precedent, however, for two tropical storms to occupy the Gulf simultaneously.
According to Klotzbach, the 1933 storms dubbed Treasure Coast and Cuba-Brownsville, and the 1959 storms Beulah and an unnamed system were in Gulf of Mexico together.
