California hasn't had a full-blown hurricane since September, 1939. Although that was barely a category 1, it caused considerable damage and a few fatalities.
In 1967, Hurricane Katrina was aiming for LA but veered east and devastated San Filipe in Lower California.
We occasionally get a tropical storm, such as Katherine in 1963. They bring a lot of rain but not much wind.
This is called "raising expectations" or "impossible expectations", a method perfected by the cigarette industry back when, and still used today in the climate argument.
It could also be called "cherry picking" the data since they are picking only certain types of storms landing only in certain places.
