when on vacation in Acapulco, I got the pleasure of what was Cat 1 Cosme that literally passed over Acapulco Bay and surrounding area. It knocked the power out at the hotel and there was flooding (particularly on the other side of the mountain ridge) but the eye passed over us overnight which was wild to experience at night as it was stormy and then quiet with the stars out and then stormy again.
Cosme had formed in the Pacific, crossed Mexico, and then the remnants emerged into the GOM where they regenerated and the storm was renamed Allison (tropical storm). Allison made landfall in TX and the remnants eventually made their way to Philly after we returned home, so I experienced it TWICE! 
From that point on, NHC made a change where they would no longer "rename" storms that cross between the oceans if it can be shown that they came back to life from remnants.
