Best Answer

There is no hurricane on record as ever hitting the US Pacific coast. Hurricanes form over warm, tropical waters, which are relatively far from the Northeastern coast. Oregon does, however, get tropical and extratropical storms, with winds reaching 100 mph. These winds are relatively weak when compared to hurricane winds that cause the most damage. Any storm with winds 75 mph or faster is said to have "hurricane force winds", but that does not mean it is a hurricane. Hurricanes do his the western Mexico shore, though.
