SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The cold water in the Pacific Ocean in Southern California usually acts as a deterrent for hurricanes and big storms that surge from the south, but it looks like it won't be enough to fend off Hurricane Kay in the coming days. The Category 1 storm is now making its way through along the Baja California Peninsula and is expected to reach the San Diego-Tijuana region by Friday. While meteorologists expect Kay to lose its hurricane status, they believe the storm will create widespread flooding in California, Northern Baja California and Arizona.
