Formed=October 6
Dissipated=October 15
1-min winds=110The only major hurricane of the season, "Olivia" formed on October 6 as a tropical depression. It slowly strengthened and became a tropical storm 3 days later. As a tropical storm, Olivia again took a long time to become a hurricane. It headed north-northeast and hit Baja California with 50 mph winds. On the 13th, Olivia finally became a hurricane, while in the Gulf of California. It rapidly strengthened due to it's very small size, and reached winds of 125 miles per hour for six hours and made landfall on the eastern side of the Baja Peninsula at that strength. Olivia rapidly weakened even faster than it strengthened and dissipated 18 hours after landfall. [ [http://www.wunderground.com/hurricane/ep196715.asp#a_topad=Olivia tracking map] ]

Olivia is only one of two hurricanes to make landfall on eastern side of the Baja Peninsula the other being Hurricane Kiko of 1989. It was also the first major hurricane to be named in the East Pacific, and was the latest "named" first major hurricane for any Pacific hurricane season on record. No damage figures exist from Olivia, due to the scarce population of the area it struck.
