Yes it is possible. But nearly most of the time they are no stronger than category 2. When the hurricane moves up the east coast, since it is colder than Carolinas and Georgia, the hurricane weakens more and more, and it is just rain and wind when it reaches New York. Like Hurricane Earl in 2010, it was said to be a near category 5 hurricane and it was moving up the east coast. But the water got colder for the hurricane, and when it reached New York, it was just raining.
