Could a Hurricane Hit Southern California?
October 21, 2012 | NASA

“While there has never been a documented case of a hurricane making landfall in California, the Golden State has had its share of run-ins and close calls with tropical cyclones. In fact, California has been affected by at least a few tropical cyclones in every decade since 1900. Three of those storms brought gale-force winds, [...] flooding, damage and, occasionally, casualties.” Quoted from the NASA press release.
