Hurricanes only affect extreme Southern California, and then rarely. The peninsula of Baja California, part of Mexico, experiences storms that form along the coast of Central America, in warm tropical waters. Some storms are created by Caribbean hurricanes that struggle across the mountainous terrain and reform in the Pacific. These storms follow the warm currents along the Mexican coast, and sometimes turn east and make landfall there. Other storms continue out into the Pacific toward Hawaii.
The California Current typically acts as a barrier that reduces the likelihood of hurricanes making landfall along the West Coast. The cold waters of the California Current can weaken or dissipate hurricanes as they move northwards due to upwelling of cold water along the coast. However, remnants of hurricanes can still bring heavy rainfall and strong winds to parts of California.
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.
England does not typically experience hurricanes. Instead, it is more common to experience strong storms and gales, particularly during the autumn and winter months. These storms can bring heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas to the region.
A California hurricane is a tropical cyclone, but usually only the remnants of tropical cyclones affect California. Since 1900, two tropical storms have hit California, one by direct landfall from offshore, another after making landfall in Mexico.
Hurricanes bring strong winds and heavy rains, which can cause flooding. Hurricanes can bring thunderstorms which may become severe and sometimes produce tornadoes.
California has had many earthquakes, but no recorded hurricanes.

Yes. Hurricanes produce very strong wind.
Yes. Hurricanes produce very strong wind.
Yes, Hurricanes are like a very strong thunderstorm.
No, or at least very, very seldom. Southern California doesn't really get hurricanes. (Baja California in Mexico can, but the US state of California doesn't).
The way that hurricanes impact a community, is by the the speed and the strong winds
Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes. Both hurricanes and tornadoes can be deadly, although hurricanes are more likely to cause widespread destruction due to their larger size and duration. Both hurricanes and tornadoes have strong winds, but hurricanes typically have more sustained, powerful winds over a larger region.
None.
The statement "Hurricanes cover a larger area than tornadoes" is true. "Hurricanes have strong winds" is also true unless there is a second part to it. Both hurricanes and tornadoes kill people.
