The most common path is to initially move westward and then turn north and sometimes east to strike either the Gulf Coast or the southern Atlantic Coast.
The most common path for hurricanes to strike the US is along the Gulf Coast and the East Coast, particularly Florida and the Carolinas. This is due to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean which fuel hurricane development in these regions.
Illinois is not typically in the path of hurricanes. While the state can experience strong storms and tornados, the likelihood of a hurricane directly impacting Illinois is very low due to its inland location.
While Illinois is not typically in the path of hurricanes, the state can experience the remnants of hurricanes in the form of heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds. However, direct landfall of hurricanes in Illinois is rare due to its geographical location.
Since eastern Pennsylvania is close to the Atlantic Ocean it is possible, though unlikely, for a hurricane to enter the state while still at hurricane strength. The rest of Pennsylvania is too far inland to get hurricanes.
Tropical cyclones can be very unpredictable, especially in path. Some hurricanes quickly pose an immediate threat to land, while others harmlessly drift into the icy Canadian waters. Most formed hurricanes would move West or Northwest, but many tropical waves, remnants of U.S. storms, and wind shear affect the path of the hurricane. Hurricanes travel into the Gulf of Mexico usually because there is very little other activity affecting the storm, or influencing to move away to the Gulf's entrance.

Hurricanes strike because of wind patterns that are triggered to build into large masses due to temperature and humidity. The most humidity occurs in tropical areas, such as Florida state next to the Gulf of Mexico, therefore hurricanes are best known there. This build up of wind masses occurs regularly in the summer because the humidity is the highest. I hope that answered your question!

Education.
Hurricanes occur most often in states along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast of the United States, including Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina. These states are more vulnerable due to their location in the path of hurricanes originating in the Atlantic Ocean.
No. It would be meteorology.
This is the Coriolis Effect.
In terms of overall damage, tropical cyclones such as hurricanes are the most destructive. In terms of severity, tornadoes are generally the most destructive.
Not only do hurricane paths change, they are near unpredictable.
Only to a limited degree. Many hurricanes do follow the same general trend in the paths they take. While the general path of a hurricane can be predicted within reason, the exact path of a hurricane is never quite certain. Furthermore, some hurricanes do follow unusual paths.
Lightning can strike antennas because they are tall and metal structures that provide a direct path for electrical discharge to the ground. The metal in the antenna can conduct the electrical charge from the lightning strike, helping to protect the structure from damage.
