The rest of Pennsylvania is too far inland to get hurricanes.

Do hurricanes normally occur during a specific time of year?
Hurricanes typically occur during the Atlantic hurricane season, which officially runs from June 1 to November 30. The peak months for hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean are August and September. However, hurricanes can form outside of this season, but it is less common.
How many hurricanes have hit Pennsylvania?
Yes, although western Pennsylvania generally does not get hurricanes the way some other parts of the United States do. Sometimes an intense storm hits the entire east coast (Hurricane Sandy is an example) and Pittsburgh is affected, but the city is too far inland to get many hurricanes: it is more likely to get a severe rain storm than a hurricane. According to the National Weather Service, in the past ninety years, only four Category 5 hurricanes had an impact on western Pennsylvania: the last one was Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
In what layer of the atmosphere do tornadoes and hurricanes occur?
Tornadoes occur in the lower atmosphere, specifically in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather events typically occur. Hurricanes occur slightly higher up in the troposphere, usually in the lower part of the troposphere where the conditions are conducive for their formation.
Why do you only have hurricanes during hurricane season?
Hurricanes can occur outside of the official hurricane season, but it is rare. Hurricanes need warm ocean water in order to form and in most cases the water is not warm enough outside of hurricane season to support the formation of hurricanes. About 3% of hurricanes and tropical storms occur out of season.
