However, the 78.8 degree temperature at Scripps pier in La Jolla might make people nervous now

Regarding hurricanes as temperatures rise in places like La Jolla to the record recently of 78.8 degrees Fahrenheit (the  ocean water there)  it might make people worry more that we may begin eventually to see hurricanes in Southern California not too far into the future from now. However, the prevailing winds I'm not sure would help with this. Most winds go east from the coast unless you are having a Santana wind off the deserts and then the storm would be moved out to sea usually and not onto land. So, right now, I'm thinking a hurricane likely would die pretty fast once it hit the land and went onshore (or if a Santana was happening off the deserts out into the oceans that would take a hurricane out to sea in Southern California. But, the other side of this is Hurricanes and Tornadoes are fluke events many places that just happen periodically. But, I'm thinking it is much more likely that California is going to see Tornadoes than hurricanes any time soon as wind moves faster and faster because of more heat inland in California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Colorado and possibly New Mexico. But, even then the conditions of two types of weather hitting each other might only exist most of the time on the Great plains and into the south where there are no hills or mountains much even then which tends to create tornadoes in the first place.
