Since tracking began in the late 19th century, over 150 hurricanes have made landfall on the East Coast of the United States. The exact number can vary depending on the criteria used for classification and the specific time frame considered. Major hurricanes, particularly those classified as Category 3 or higher, have had significant impacts on the region. This data highlights the vulnerability of the East Coast to tropical storms and hurricanes.

Hurricanes have been around for a long time. And I mean as long as maybe billions and billions and billions of years. Even Jupiter and Neptune have hurricanes!! The biggest hurricanes on those planets are probably category 10 or whatever. Anyway, since hurricanes have been around for so many years, it's impossible to tell what was the first season. The first recorded season was probably in 1800. I don't know anything beyond that. Hurricane tracking began later...I don't remember when.

Would you expect hurricanes to form over the oceans off the northeast or northwest coasts of the US Explain?

Hurricanes typically form over the warm tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. Consequently, it is more likely to see hurricanes forming off the northeast coast of the United States since this region is closer to the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf Stream, which carry warm water. On the other hand, the northwest coast of the US, such as Washington and Oregon, is not exposed to the warm tropical waters, making it less likely for hurricanes to form in that region.
