Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water. The can't actually form in Alaska because they can't occur over land. They can't hit Alaska because the waters surrounding it are too cold.

Why doesn't Alaska have a hurricane?

Alaska typically does not experience hurricanes due to its geographic location and cooler climate. Hurricanes form over warm ocean waters, usually in tropical regions, and require specific conditions to develop and sustain themselves. By the time storms reach Alaska, they are often remnants of tropical systems that have lost their strength and characteristics. Additionally, the colder waters and atmospheric conditions in Alaska do not support the formation of hurricanes.
