Can hurricanes and tornadoes get to Washington DC?

It is unlikely that a hurricane would ever hit Seattle, Washington, but nothing in nature is impossible. The reason it is unlikely is because hurricanes on the west coast typically form off of Mexico or Southern California and the wind direction is typically west, whereas Seattle Washington is north far north of the area in which hurricanes develop in the pacific. As well, in order for a system to gain intensity to the point where it would reach hurricane strenth, it would have to travel over warm water. The only way a hurricane would hit Seattle is if a storm formed in the pacific ocean, traveled due west over warm water, and then wind direction shifted from due west to due north, and then shifted to due east. Extremely unlikey.
