The Atlantic Ocean, specifically the region known as the North Atlantic basin, including the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, typically experiences the most hurricanes in a given year. This area is where a majority of the tropical storms and hurricanes that impact the United States are formed.
In 2005, the United States was hit by a total of seven hurricanes. This included Hurricanes Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, which were particularly destructive that year.
Hurricane force storms have hit every continent except for Europe. However, they go by different names in the Pacific, Indian, and Southern Oceans so technically Hurricanes only strike North and South America, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean.
There have been at least 15 hurricanes to hit the United States since the year 2000. The names of the hurricanes have been Allison, Isabel, Charley, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Katrina, Rita, Wilma, Zeta, Ernesto, Gustav, Ike, Irene and Sandy,
October 2009. The most recent hurricanes to hit North America were: hurricane Hannah, hurricane Ike, and hurricane Jenna.As of October 6, the last 3 hurricanes to make a direct hit on the U.S. were Gustav and Ike in 2008 and Irene in 2011. Many others have formed in between and since these storms, but not hit the U.S. One honorable mention is Hurricane Earl in 2010 which impacted the Carolina with hurricane force winds but did not actually make landfall.
According to the NOAA National Hurricane Center, there are an average of 5.8 Atlantic hurricanes per year that affect the United States. Although this doesn't necessarily mean they "hit they US." (See http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastprofile.shtml)In the 2009 hurricane season, there were 2 Atlantic hurricanes.
There is no way of knowing that. Hurricanes have been hitting North America since before there were people around to record them. Even after the U.S. was established,there are many accounts of storms where it is unclear if they were hurricanes.
Many hurricanes have produced tornadoes, it is a fairly common ocurrence. Most hurricanes that have hit the United States in recent years have produced tornadoes.
