How interesting. Is there less wind shear on the west coast, then?

That's what I thought, Steve, but I wasn't sure. It's interesting that
there can be exceptions like this.

This is much less the exception for Pacific hurricanes/typhoons - occurs
much
more often with them, and strong ones also. They also have more ocean to
travel and are more persistent. I don't have a clue why, though it does
seem to be more common the longer storm has been strong. Atlantic
hurricanes
usually don't stay strong as long - they seem to eventually encounter wind
shear (as Isabel is now doing) and other things.
