Why hurricanes do not form in the northen Atlantic ocean?

Because techinically, no hurricanes begin in the North Atlantic, only the south Atlantic. The storm season in the North Atlantic is in the winter, and the storms are not considered hurricans but instead Nor Easters. The hurricanes in the northern Atlantic come from the south and are rare due to the natural barrier of the Virginia and North Carolina border jetting so far out into the Atlantic. The hurricanes are 'steered' out into the open ocean. This 'jetting out' barrier is a very large natural occurence of what is commonly used to protect from small storms and beach erosion: a jetty.
