It may be possible, but it would be an incredibly rare event. Do date, no recorded hurricane has hit California, but that could just mean that the recurrence interval is longer than the time we have been monitoring such things.

No. For one thing, hurricanes form over warm ocean water, not land. Additionally, due to cold ocean currents, any hurricanes that form in the Pacific tend to fall apart before reaching California.
