In the last two weeks there have been three intense tropical cyclones: STY Sepat in the WPac, Hurricane Flossie in the EPac and Hurricane Dean in the Atlantic. I was wondering has something like this ever happened before, where there were 3 intense systems in all three basins.

Andrew floored South Florida in August 1992, and super typhoon Omar hit Guam about a week later. Shortly thereafter, Hurricane Iniki scored a direct hit on Hawaii as a strong category 4.
As bad as he was, Andrew was the only only major storm for the Atlantic in 92. In contrast, the 1992 NW pacific experienced one hell of a season, including a typhoon in January, and a 870mb monster in late November (research super typhoon Gay, if you are interested).
EDIT:
Here is the report on Gay in .pdf format; a really fascinating read, especially the part where Gay's thunder is stolen from it by typhoon Hunt, and the storm fills like 90 millibars in just 24 hours while still over open sea!
