It all depends where on the East Coast you live. I lived in Florida for 10 years and we got hit by hurricanes at least once a year. But, they were not all to the magnitude of hurricanes such as Katrina or Andrew (1992). I lived in Pennsylvania for 4 years and then later 2 years, and as far as I can recall, we were never hit by a hurricane. Although the most recent hurricane, Hurricane Irene I think it was, hit PA.

CORRECTED: Hurricanes are storms that happen in the Atlantic (East Coast). Typhoons are storms (hurricanes) that happen in the Pacific (West Coast). Why they are called something different I do not know. Yet, both storms are created in the same manner as all storms, only being over water, they become more tumultuous.Tsunamis are waves, and are not associated with storms, but earthquakes. When there is a shift in the ocean floor, of course it causes waves. The severity of the shift is a direct affect on the severity of the wave.Poseidon makes them.
