Hurricanes happen on both coasts. We say last year as the United States and Caribbean got pummeled with five intense Hurricanes. But Hurricanes have also hit us on the West Coast just below our border with Mexico. We just saw a rare early hurricane Adrian hit and pummel into Guatemala, forcing people to higher ground. Winds well over 120 miles per hour as it made land fall. The Gulf of Mexico has gotten severe Hurricanes too.http://www.pbrla.com/pasthurrs.htmlAnd then on the complete other side .
