Which region do Texas hurricanes ocurr?
Since hurricanes develop over the ocean, the hurricanes that impact Texas strike it along the Gulf Coast.
Did hurricanes always have names?
Hurricanes have not always had names. In 1953 the National Hurricane Center began generating lists of names for each hurricane in a given season. Since that time all hurricanes have had names.
When was the first hurricane year?
Hurricanes have been around for a long time. And I mean as long as maybe billions and billions and billions of years. Even Jupiter and Neptune have hurricanes!! The biggest hurricanes on those planets are probably category 10 or whatever. Anyway, since hurricanes have been around for so many years, it's impossible to tell what was the first season. The first recorded season was probably in 1800. I don't know anything beyond that. Hurricane tracking began later...I don't remember when.
Why do hurricanes cause more damage than they do centreland?
Hurricanes gain power from warm, moist air. Because of this, they gain power when they are over water and hit with the greatest force on the coast. As they move inland, they exaust their power since they don't have as much moisture to draw from over land. Because of this, they tend to cause less damage centreland than they do on the coast.
What was the first hurricane to strike Florida?
Can't be answered as hurricanes have been striking Florida since long before there was any humans around to name them. And I can't be bothered to put the research in into finding out when naming hurricanes began, and which was the first named hurricane that hit Florida.

Would you expect hurricanes to form over the oceans off the northeast or northwest coasts of the US Explain?
Hurricanes typically form over the warm tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. Consequently, it is more likely to see hurricanes forming off the northeast coast of the United States since this region is closer to the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Stream, which carry warm water. On the other hand, the northwest coast of the US, such as Washington and Oregon, is not exposed to the warm tropical waters, making it less likely for hurricanes to form in that region.
Do hurricanes only affect tropical areas?
Yes and No. Any depression within the Gulf Coast will stay within this area regardless of whether they form hurricanes. Most tropical depressions are formed off the coast of Africa, some of these turn into Hurricanes if conditions are favorable. If you have a Northeast continental high pressure system inland and a Bermuda high pressure system at the same time as a tropical storm is off the coast of Florida the tropical storm could intensify into a hurricane and possibly make a hard right turn and make it's way up the east coast. Unlike Gulf hurricanes Northeast hurricanes are rare but fast moving and are supplied with what can be described as a freeway for it to make it's way straight up the coast by the two high pressure systems and could possibly make landfall in an area known as the New York bight which is a right angle that borders New York City and New Jersey. Not that there hasn't been a Cat 3 hurricane in New York City since 1938. For a information about this hurricane go to the New York Times
