Is it just me or are Atlantic hurricanes more likely to make landfall?

You are right, usually the Atalntic Hurricanes form near Africa and moves toward the Americas. In the Eastern Pacific, they form near Mexico and 95% of them move toward the Central Pacific.

When TD 1, then Alex developed in the Atlantic, the Pacific had already 4 tropical storms, 2 hurricanes and 1 major.

The Pacific hasn't been very active in years, or so it seems.
