No. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water. The water of the northeast and northwest coasts of the United States are too cold.
Far inland away from the sea coasts. The ultimate places to avoid hurricanes would be the north and south poles.
For a variety of reasons, hurricanes don't affect the west coast of the US very much. One will occasionally pass by off to the south and bring rain and higher than usual waves to California, but it certainly doesn't get hurricanes similar to those on the East and Gulf coasts.
False. Hurricanes have only struck Hawaii and the states along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Hurricanes cannot strike inland areas and the waters near the west coast are too cold to support hurricanes.
Tornadoes can occur almost anywhere in the U.S. and have been documented in all 50 states. They are most common in the Midwest and the South. Hurricanes on the other hand can only directly strike the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. Most of the eastern two thirds of the country can feel the effects of the remnants of hurricanes.
No, not every US state has been directly hit by a hurricane. However, tropical storms and hurricanes have impacted many states along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. States in the southern and eastern parts of the country are more prone to being affected by hurricanes.
Hurricanes are more likely to form over the oceans off the southeast coast of the US rather than the northeast or northwest coasts. This is because the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean, especially in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, provide the necessary heat and moisture for hurricane formation. The cooler waters off the northeast and northwest coasts are less conducive to hurricane development.
I think it's Vermont or Maine. The Northeast and Northwest coasts have the least religious affiliations.
The Canary Islands.
Far inland away from the sea coasts. The ultimate places to avoid hurricanes would be the north and south poles.
Yes. Florida has quite a history with hurricanes. Because it is near the tropics and westerly winds blow off the African coasts along the equator, Florida is vulnerable.
Because the pull of gravity.
Hurricanes form over the ocean. Some hit coasts and some don't. Those that do can travel significant distance inland while still maintaining hurricane strength.
They are called hurricanes.

Hurricanes are very large systems and, being an ocean-born phenomenon, often impact coasts. Since many large cities are built on coasts it is difficult for a hurricane to make landfall without affecting a city or two.
