	1858 Hurricane Struck San Diego, Say Research Meteorologists - Public Affairs - NOAA - NWS
		Jan. 11, 2005 — Most hurricanes affect the United States' East Coast, but the West Coast is also vulnerable, as shown by an 1858 tropical cyclone that brought hurricane-force winds to San Diego.
		The historical data and contemporary analysis of this event were presented today by a NOAA scientist at the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society in San Diego, Calif. NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce.
		Landsea, the developer of the Atlantic Hurricane Database Re-analysis Project, which looks at hurricanes and revises their meteorological statistics when new data are available, notes that if a hurricane similar to the 1858 storm hit San Diego today, damage from such a storm could likely reach several hundred million dollars.
