  October 1, 1976: Hurricane Liza passed close to the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula. Liza's heavy rains caused a flash flood that burst a dyke near La Paz. The resulting torrent of water did heavy damage and killed at least 435, and probably more than 630 people.
  August 15, 1977: Hurricane Doreen briefly made landfall as it skirted the Pacific coast of the peninsula.
