Re: san diego hurricane, 2october1858

Actually, if my memory is still fairly accurate, one of the most active locations for tropical cyclone activity in the southwestern U.S. is Yuma, Arizona - check it out. If a storm comes up the Gulf of California (which is a rare event), it does not encounter cooler water. I think that they've had two or three events in Yuma.
Cheers,
