It all depends where on the East Coast you live. I lived in Florida for 10 years and we got hit by hurricanes at least once a year. But, they were not all to the magnitude of hurricanes such as Katrina or Andrew (1992). I lived in Pennsylvania for 4 years and then later 2 years, and as far as I can recall, we were never hit by a hurricane. Although the most recent hurricane, Hurricane Irene I think it was, hit PA.
