Do hurricanes only affect tropical areas?

Yes and No. Any depression within the Gulf Coast will stay within this area regardless of whether they form hurricanes. Most tropical depressions are formed off the coast of Africa, some of these turn into Hurricanes if conditions are favorable. If you have a Northeast continental high pressure system inland and a Bermuda high pressure system at the same time as a tropical storm is off the coast of Florida the tropical storm could intensify into a hurricane and possibly make a hard right turn and make it's way up the east coast. Unlike Gulf hurricanes Northeast hurricanes are rare but fast moving and are supplied with what can be described as a freeway for it to make it's way straight up the coast by the two high pressure systems and could possibly make landfall in an area known as the New York bight which is a right angle that borders New York City and New Jersey. Not that there hasn't been a Cat 3 hurricane in New York City since 1938. For a information about this hurricane go to the New York Times
