Random tid-bit of information for the day: A hurricane has never in recorded history hit the west coast of USA. However, there are pacific hurricanes that hit the west coast of Mexico, and there was one single incident of a tropical storm hitting southern california. I suspect that in my lifetime I will see it happen though, probably even within the next 10 years. I'll even go so far as to make a guess at the date: October 3rd, 2012.
