People from San Fransisco and San Diego?

Question

How many Tornados, Hurricanes and Earthquakes are there in san fransisco and san diego in 1 year ?

Where would be the best place to move to in san fransisco or san diego to avoid them?

Answer 1

Tornados & hurricanes: none.
We almost never get either one.

Earthquakes? Literally hundreds -- but most are so small you can't feel them. Earthquakes that are strong enough to feel? About 1 every year or two. Strong enough to do damage? About 1 every 20-50 years.
A lot less than the east coast gets in hurricanes or the midwest gets in tornados :)

Answer 2

Positioned in Southern California, not not even close to the Mexico line, San Diego could be the oldest city in California, started in 1769 and if you wish to know an area with a wonderful organic beauty and a pleasant environment, with gentle temperatures and lots of sunlight with hotelbye you should start. In San Diego you are able to visit: museums, gardens, Spanish Colonial model structure found in Balboa Park, the planet popular San Diego Zoo, and the Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum. SeaWorld San Diego is one of many city's major attractions, particularly for families. It is found across the waterfront in Mission Bay. For many American's SeaWorld has been quite a while family custom, having been around since the 1960s. On the list of features are the multitude of reveals offering killer whales, sea lions, dolphins, and different sea life. There are all sorts of rides from roller coasters falling into water, to more sedate carnival type flights for tots. SeaWorld can be an aquarium that enables for close-up discusses sharks and other sea animals which can be observed through an acrylic tube, along with feel tanks, and close encounters with dolphins and inhabitants of tidal pools.

Answer 3

They don't get tornadoes in areas where there's water hurricanes are common to the area, but giving how SF's layout is hurricanes are less likely to happen, and the same goes for San Diego. Earthquakes are common in california. Contact Stanford or UCLA and talk to someone in their science departments and ask who does the research for earthquakes that hit the state annually.

Answer 4

I love BOTH!!! Im 28 and live in Scotland, UK and for the past 4 years my boyfriend and I have spent our 3 week vacation staying in San Francisco and driven down to San Diego. The road trip is fabulous, and i always find masses to do in both cities. It is true San Diego is warmer, but both have great climate (especially compared to the unpredictable Scottish summers) Id say the San Francisco attractions can be done repeatedly year after year, while i would not want to go to the likes of sea world more then once. Both have fantastic restaurants and bars and both are supper friendly. My only dilemma is knowing which Baseball team to support while im there. I love, love, love them both!! But at 17 you would probably do better in San Diego, i suppose, as drinking is out of the question.

Answer 5

No Hurricanes or Torneados in california; execpt if youlive in the central valley there might be like one torneado that doesn't touchdown.

Earthqaukes aren't that common in san diego hey do happen. In san francisco's bay area you might feel 2-4 small ones maybe he big ones come about every 20-30 years or so.

Answer 6

hurricanes never
tornados none but we do get the rare funnel cloud in the central valley near Sacramento

earthquakes, hundreds a year as somebody else mentioned. you usually don't feel them until they are over 2.0 magnitude. And napa area usually has a few of those a year in the 3.0 to 4.0 range. The thing with earth quakes is that depending on how strong they are you can feel them for hundreds of miles.

Answer 7

Earthquakes happen often. I have lived in SF and its environs for the past five years, and have felt several. Go to

for a live look at earthquake activity.

Tornados can, in fact, happen here, but they are rare. My job is very close to one of the most recent tornadoes in California. Go here:

(Note: Despite the claim of another answerer, tornadoes can happen near water: they are called water spouts. Go here:

Hurricane can also be called typhoons, cyclones, tropical storms, cyclonic storms and tropical depressions. Apparently no hurricane-strength storm has reached California (go to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane

under the subheading "Major Basins"). In my experience, I have never seen nor heard of a hurricane here, although I have experienced several strong rain and wind storms.
