[edit] Not a California hurricane

Hurricane Kathleen was not a hurricane when its remnants affected California. It's grossly misleading to categorize it as a "California hurricane". The most remarkable thing about California weather is that no hurricane has ever made landfall here, because the offshore waters are far too cool. Tmangray 19:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

It should still be in the California category, seeing as it affected California. Hurricanehink (talk) 19:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

A hurricane did impact California in 1858. Thegreatdr 20:44, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Todo

Better intro, a summary of the impact (at the top of the section). Jdorje 02:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References

Do you prefer the {{ref}}/{{note}} reference format? Seems to me the <ref>/<reference> format is much easier. Jdorje 02:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
