Experts attribute California's lack of hurricanes to ocean water temperatures, noting that the warm waters fueling hurricanes are significantly absent from California's coast.
Hurricane Milton's impact was immense, causing Tampa to receive 11 inches of rain within 24 hours, greatly surpassing its monthly average for October.
California's coastal waters are about 30 degrees cooler than those in the Gulf and Atlantic, which essentially makes the region inhospitable for hurricane formation.
While California faces its share of natural disasters, such as wildfires and earthquakes, the dynamics of hurricanes rely heavily on warmer ocean conditions which California lacks.
