The Hurricane Houdini Act
You see, hurricanes are like those annoying relatives who only show up for holidays. They love warm water and low wind shear. LA’s got neither. Our ocean water is about as inviting as a polar bear’s hug, and the winds here are more like a gentle breeze than a hurricane-fueling frenzy.
QuickTip: Pause when something feels important.
The One Time LA Got a Taste of Hurricane Drama
Now, before you start thinking LA is completely immune, there was that one time. Back in 1939, a tropical storm decided to throw a little tantrum in our direction. It was like that surprise party no one asked for. But let's be real, a tropical storm is like a puppy compared to a full-blown hurricane.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.

So, Should You Invest in a Surfboard or a Hurricane Shelter?
Surfboard, definitely. While we can’t guarantee zero chance of any crazy weather event in the future, let's face it, the odds of a hurricane wiping out LA are about as likely as seeing Kim Kardashian and Kanye West holding hands.
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.
To sum it up: LA is a hurricane's least favorite vacation spot. So, relax, enjoy the sunshine, and leave the hurricane prep to the folks in Florida.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
