Sammy Hagar's annual Birthday Bash in Cabo is scheduled for Oct 9. I know that's still 3 weeks away but a Cat 5 could do enough damage that could really impact that.

I always wonder about how many monstrous terrible storms occur out in the middle of the Pacific that nobody will ever know about.

Apparently they call those Fish Storms.

Why do they never hit California? Honestly asking? Has one ever? I can’t remember ever hearing about it?

I believe that Pacific water is extremely cold or chill up and down the California coast but hot as balls down towards and past Mexico.

I think most hurricanes peter out before they get even to San Diego.

Earthquakes and wildfires not enough for you? You want to give them hurricanes too?

I don’t know why they generally avoid SoCal but a few years ago the Saints played the Chargers in preseason during an either Cat 1 or TS.

If the YouTube weather guys are right the rest of the season in the pacific will be like this.
I think there have already been a few 4s/5s in the Pacific this year but they’ve just been fish storms.

Most eastern pacific storms are fish storms. Every so often one will hook upwards into Mexico but weaken before going into Mexifornia. Then you have the ones that ride out to Hawaii that barely maintain hurricane strength at the surface but do havoc on the mountains and bring snow to some of the taller volcanoes.

They do, just not as tropical events. Water off the coast of Cali is to cold to support storms. It has to be an insanely strong storm before hitting that water to maintain any intensity and tropical characteristics. It happens but extremely rare.

Polo is once again a Cat. 5 storm, for the third time. It is only the second Pacific hurricane to have reached that peak on three separate occasions.

Here is some amazing video inside the eye from yesterday:

Pacific water in California and Baja Mexico is ice cold. I don’t know how they did Baywatch jump in the water like nothing.
