I just have one question: If a Pacific storm crosses into the Gulf, or a storm crosses from the Gulf into the Pacific, what happens to the name? Does it stay the same? Or is it changed?

Tornado Safety Information

According to the National Hurricane Center, hurricanes can also produce tornadoes that add to the storm's destructive power. Tornadoes are most likely to occur in the right-front quadrant of the hurricane. However, they are also often found elsewhere embedded in the rainbands, well away from the center of the hurricane.
