which became a major hurricane, and Tropical Depression Two-E,

which has since become Tropical Storm Blanca. On average, a named

storm forms in the basin in May about once every other year, with a

hurricane forming about once every four years. Major hurricanes are

relatively rare in the basin in May. Andres is only the fifth major

hurricane to form in May in the eastern North Pacific since reliable
