This is the first time three Category Four storms have been seen in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean at one time, according to The Weather Channel.

Category Four hurricanes have wind speeds anywhere from 209 to 251km per hour.

Hurricanes are categorized primarily by wind speeds: The higher the sustained wind speed, the stronger the hurricane.

A Category One hurricane has winds up to 119 to 152km per hour, and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says they're typically expected to cause some damage to buildings as well as power outages for a few days.

Meanwhile, a Category Four hurricane is considered catastrophic, with severe damage to buildings and power outages for weeks if not months.
