Re: Can Anybody Name This Storm?

It is Allen from 1980. I found a Powerpoint presentation at http://kelvin.ou.edu/METR%202603/Hurricanes%202.PPT ... and slides 6-8 (especially 7) show the same pattern: Allen in the Gulf of Mexico, with an East Pacific cyclone opposite it. The rest of the cloud patterns match so well, that I'd bet the two images (yours and slide 7 of the preso) were taken hours apart.
So, it appears pretty sure Allen is the subject, but I can't help you with any other reason your pic is special. Sorry about that.
