Has a Hurricane Ever Hit Las Vegas?

No hurricane centre has passed within 75 miles of Las Vegas since records began (1851 in the Atlantic, 1949 in the eastern Pacific). The closest a storm came while still a hurricane was Katrina in 1967, 363 miles south of the city on September 2. Counting every strength, 2 tropical systems passed within 75 miles of Las Vegas: 1 as a tropical depression and 1 as a post-tropical remnant. The strongest at its closest point was Kathleen (1976), a post-tropical remnant with 35 mph sustained winds 48 miles west of the city. The most recent was Nora, in September 1997. Both came from the eastern Pacific, crossing Mexico first. Las Vegas's storm record page counts none of them; the other 2 had weakened to depressions or remnant lows by the time they passed.
