Everywhere except NIO and SHem has activity. I don't think 5-E is going to be ”the big story” YE, but I have to agree the EPac is having a real hurricane party. It's certainly ahead of the Atlantic, and is the first season since 1966 to have the first 5 storms become hurricanes, assuming Eugene will become one. The Atlantic hasn't even produced their first hurricane and today, July 31, is climatologically the day of our first NAtl hurricane. The EPac is weeks ahead of the date of their 5th hurricane though, and fortunately, except for Beatriz, all of those 'canes were fishies.
