Statistically Safe from Lidia?

Shown left is a graphic from the NHC Storm Plotter of all recorded storm tracks since 1950 where the storm passed within 150 miles of Tropical Storm Lidia's current position. Only Tropical Storm Olivia in 1967 ever made Baja Landfall. Olivia as a freak anyway, striking Baja first from the west, north of Todos Santos. When the storm emerged in the Sea of Cortez, it became Hurricane Olivia. The Hurricane then turned nearly 120° and struck Baja from the east near Loreto.
