It is extremely (and I mean extremely!) unlikely that Alaska could be hit by a hurricane.
That being said, it is not impossible for that to happen... in fact, in 1975 an unnamed hurricane formed in the North Pacific and came within only 300 miles of Juneau while still tropical (See related link). In addition Alaska gets battered by the remnants of Typhoons after they turn non-tropical. These cyclones can actual be far more intense then a tropical cyclone, due to their large gale force wind fields.

Alaska has had four tornadoes between 1950 and 2009; all were rated F0, causing little or no damage.
