I've never witnessed a Hurricane. This live feed is pretty interesting. You can move the cursor to the far left to get a sense of the progression.

Got me wondering, has CA ever had a Hurricane/Cyclone? YEP!, but small compared to this beast pounding the Carolina's coast.
The
1858 San Diego hurricane was a very rare
California hurricane. It is the only known
tropical cyclone to impact California as a hurricane, although other systems have impacted California as tropical storms. The storm caused damage to many homes and other constructions in
San Diego.
San Pedro experienced heavy rainfall,
El Monte experienced high winds that damaged its corn crops and trees, and
Los Angeles and
Visalia experienced large amounts of rain but low wind. A later estimate stated that if a similar storm happened in 2004, it would have caused $500 million in damage.
