The storm has intensified quickly since becoming a hurricane Sunday and has been fueled by warm waters far offshore, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
Hurricanes Lowell, Karina and Marie are spinning in the Pacific at the same time, just the second time on record three storms have lined up like this.
Karina, Lowell and Marie are raging at once in the Pacific, a rare El Niño-fueled setup that has not been seen on this scale since the 1970s.

The Pacific Ocean is only midway through peak hurricane season, but it’s already been super-charged by this year’s historic El Niño.
