Answer 2

* August 27 - August 29, 1951: The remnants of a tropical cyclone brought enough rain to wash out some roads in southern California. * September 10 - September 11, 1976 : Hurricane Kathleen crossed the peninsula of Baja California and moved into California as a tropical storm. Yuma, Arizona reported sustained winds of 91 km/h (57 mph). Rainfall from Kathleen created huge damages to southeastern California and killed at least three people. * August 18 - August 19, 1977: Hurricane Doreen dissipated off the coast of California. The remnants moved inland and created flooding and crop damage as 7.01 inches (178 mm) of rain fell on Yuma Valley, Arizona. * October 5 - October 12, 1987: Weather associated with Hurricane Ramon caused moderate to heavy rains in Southern California. The highest amount noted was 2.14 inches (54 mm) at Camp Pendleton. * September 13 - September 14, 1997: Hurricane Linda was at one point predicted to make landfall in California. Instead, it moved out to sea. * September 25 - September 26, 1997: After making landfall in Baja California, Hurricane Nora kept tropical storm strength into California and Arizona. Moderate to heavy rains fell across southeast California and Arizona, with a new 24-hour maximum for Arizona 305 mm (12 inches) falling in the Mogollon Rim. Damage totaled up to several hundred million, including US$40 million to lemon trees. The remnants of the hurricane knocked down trees in higher areas of Utah as the circulation aloft was slower to spin down than its remnant surface low. There were a few indirect deaths made by the hurricane. * September 2000: The remnant low from Hurricane Lane made landfall in California with minimal effects. * September 2001: The remnants of Hurricane Flossie dissipated over the deserts of the Southwest United States and caused minor damage. * September 30, 2001: Thunderstorms from the remnants of Hurricane Juliette caused minor damage to California and brought rain of less than an inch (25 mm) to the area. * September 2006: Remnants of Hurricane John triggered flash flood watches. * August 26, 2007: Remnants of Hurricane Dean made landfall in Santa Barbara area, triggering heavy rains and minor flooding throughout the Southern California Area.

Answer 3

No. In fact as far back as records go California has never been hit by an actual hurricane, though occasionally the remnants of a hurricane have affected the state. There is a cold ocean current off the coast of California that prevents hurricanes from forming and will cause any hurricane that enters the area to degenerate.

Answer 4

No, California does not get many hurricanes. Hurricanes are more common in the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, while California is located along the Pacific Ocean where hurricanes are less likely to form and make landfall.

Answer 5

While California has had some impressive storms, to date it has never been hit by an actual hurricane.

Answer 6

There have been hurricanes that have indeed hit California but they rarely hit the coast over there. Most hurricanes are located by the Gulf of Mexico and by the East Coast.
