Does Oregon get floods tornadoes or hurricanes?
Oregon gets floods and tornadoes, but rarely, if ever gets hurricanes.
Why are tornadoes and hurricanes rare in Oregon?
There is a cold ocean current off the coast of Oregon that tends to stabilize the atmosphere. Tornadoes need strong thunderstorms to form. Such storms form best when there is a layer of warm, moist, unstable air in the lower atmosphere. The cold water makes it difficult for such a pattern to arise. Hurricanes have a similar need, only, much greater. The amount of moisture that a hurricane needs can only be found over very warm ocean water. Any hurricane heading in the direction of Oregon would quickly degenerate over the cold water, making it virtually impossible for the state to get a hurricane.

How many hurricanes per year does Oregon get?
There is no hurricane on record as ever hitting the US Pacific coast. Hurricanes form over warm, tropical waters, which are relatively far from the Northeastern coast. Oregon does, however, get tropical and extratropical storms, with winds reaching 100 mph. These winds are relatively weak when compared to hurricane winds that cause the most damage. Any storm with winds 75 mph or faster is said to have "hurricane force winds", but that does not mean it is a hurricane. Hurricanes do his the western Mexico shore, though.
