Westward typhoons
With all of these typhoons heading so far west- one has to wonder whether or not it will mean more westward headed hurricanes in the Atlantic? We are all likely familiar with "teleconnections" and there seems to be a strong ridge parked over the west-Pac- steering these typhoons on a more westerly course before turning north. Likewise, the western Atlantic has its own strong ridging so far this summer, from what I understand. Our difference is- no hurricanes, yet....

Could very well be..
If the pattern of the last couple months continues we have a definate increased threat along the east coast for a landfall..

Actually you wouldn't. The pattern is such that very few people east of South Central or SW LA would have to worry. But the pattern will evolve later in the summer. The Bermuda High and SW Atlantic Ridge will pulse. Then it's just a matter of what is where when.
