Why are hurricanes on the east coast?
For two reasons. First, hurricanes tend to travel westward, so Pacific hurricanes will general travel away from the U.S. Additionally, there are cold ocean currents off the U.S. west coast, which tends to suppress hurricanes. By contrast the ocean water along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts is much water, which is ideal for hurricanes.
Why are hurricanes more likely to make landfall in Florida than they are to hit California?
Florida is in a tropical to subtropical region and is surrounded by warm ocean water. These are the conditions that produce hurricanes and allow them to strengthen. Large-scale wind currents also tend to steer hurricanes to the north and west which takes many of these storms into the southeastern quarter of the U.S. Because Florida has both an Atlantic coast and a coast on the Gulf of Mexico it can easily get hit by Hurricanes coming from either direction. Also because most of Florida is close to the ocean - either to the east or to the west and or to the South, Hurricanes can remain fueled by the warm ocean water rather than deteriorating into tropical storms.
What cities do hurricanes form in?
Hurricanes form over oceans, not cities, and are far too large to be "in" a city. Virtually any city along a tropical coastline, especially on the east coast of a continent, can be hit by a hurricane.
Was every state in the us been hit by a hurricane at some point?

How many hurricanes per year does Oregon get?
There is no hurricane on record as ever hitting the US Pacific coast. Hurricanes form over warm, tropical waters, which are relatively far from the Northeastern coast. Oregon does, however, get tropical and extratropical storms, with winds reaching 100 mph. These winds are relatively weak when compared to hurricane winds that cause the most damage. Any storm with winds 75 mph or faster is said to have "hurricane force winds", but that does not mean it is a hurricane. Hurricanes do his the western Mexico shore, though.
Why don't hurricanes hit the West Coast of the US?
Hurricanes typically form in the Atlantic Ocean and move westward towards the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and East Coast of the U.S. The cold waters and strong wind shear along the West Coast of the U.S. make it less conducive for hurricanes to maintain their strength and impact that region. Additionally, the prevailing wind patterns tend to steer hurricanes away from the West Coast.

What cities do not have hurricanes or tornadoes?
Cities that are inland are safe from hurricanes, but just about no place habitable to humans is immune to tornadoes. However in the U.S. west of the Rockies strong tornadoes are rare. Cities such as Phoenix and Los Angeles have seen tornadoes in the general vicinity, but they are almost invariably weak.
