guess that was nora in '97 being referred to. i've seen reference on kathleen in 1976 also. i did talk to cary (prof. here who was referenced in the article). when the research was being done he sort of laughed the idea of a san diego hurricane off, but the author put all the data together and came up with a really good case in the end. if ya want to eyeball another weirdo pacific storm, check out the hurricane in the subtropics in 1975. that's about as out-of-place as, say, a hurricane in brazil.
