Hurricanes don't "HAPPEN" in Miami (that is a nonsensical question), they usually DEVELOP in the Atlantic Ocean from low pressure systems and travel west toward the United States. The rotation of the Earth causes them to curve toward the right (Coriolis Effect), which is northward. However, high-pressure areas, low-pressure areas, weather fronts, and even ocean currents affect their paths. Hurricanes have also developed in the Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean. Miami has not been hit by an unusually high number of hurricanes compared to other areas of the United States. In fact, the 2004 hurricane season saw four hurricanes hit Florida, three went over the same areas of central Florida (just north of Lake Okeechobee), two in one direction and one in the opposite. Miami was untouched by any of them.

Yes, and the next big one might exceed the damages of the Great 1926 Miami Hurricane.

Because of its proximity to hurricane zones... as with all other Southeastern states.
