Not really, they do have high winds storms but it is called a storm nothing more. Tornados have happened in many West Coast areas, including Water ones.
From time to time, we do get tornadoes in the Central Valley. That s the only part of the state that really gets the kind of atmospheric conditions required for tornadoes. On average, the state gets something like 4 tornadoes a year, and they are pretty weak F0 ones - strong enough to smash out some car windows, but not really catastrophic damage.Hurricanes, not so much. The water in the Pacific is much too cold to sustain a hurricane. The cold water is why surfers here have to wear wetsuits. As someone mentioned, there is a rare but possible risk of a tropical storm, but it s not something to really worry about.Now, we do get severe weather. We get some pretty bad winter storms, sometimes warm storms from tropical water, but more often colder storms from more northern water. We sometimes get near hurricane-force winds with these storms that knock out trees and power lines. We get snow storms at high elevations, and sometimes at much lower elevations. In rain storms, we can get flooding. Our summers are dry, and right now our water supplies are perilously low after several years of drought (the storms we have been getting are not enough). In the mountains, the weather is quite different, and they get frequent thunderstorms in the summer.
Earthquakes, mudslides, and wildires are enough.California has felt the effects of tropical storms four times since 1900. A tropical storm made landfall near San Pedro in 1939. The remnants of three storms that were previously hurricanes were felt in the state in 1972, 1976, and 1997. The reason is that the eastern Pacific is much colder than the western Atlantic. Summer water temperatures off San Diego are similar to what one would find off New York at the same time.
hurricane risks , yes, eathquake risks, yes, however on the west coast there are mountains and tornados seldom occur because the mountains interfere with the wind pattern.
very very low even hurricanes
