Not likely.
Hurricane Sandy made a westward turn to hit the U.S. east coast. No U.S. east coast hurricane has ever been known to do that.
It depends on how you define "strikes land." Landfall is defined as the point where the eye of a hurricane moves over land, but a hurricane is much bigger than its eye. So the storm bands of a hurricane can cause flooding even if the eye never hits land. However, flooding cannot occur before the bands come in. Even if there is no official landfall, an area can still be said to have been hit.
When the eye of a hurricane moves over land, it is called landfall.
Yes, hurricane Katrina did come near Columbia, Mississippi. It actually came ashore near the boarder of Mississippi and Louisiana and created a giant disaster area as it crossed land.
No, Hurricane Alec was initially classified as a tropical storm but never reached hurricane status. It weakened and dissipated over the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean without posing a significant threat to land.
No you can not be at all safe in a hurricane. You are never safe in a hurricane, whether at sea or on land. The experience and skill of a certain captain of your cruise ship might lower your risk of injury somewhat, but you do not want to be in a huricane, ever.

Even if we don't want the hurricane to come, there's nothing we can do about it. Hurricanes might come if the weather is hot enough. Hurricane is just part of weather. No one can control the weather. Weather is just part of nature. Natural events are typically uncontrollable, and it just happens by the nature. If the hurricane might be approaching and it may hit the land, there's nothing you can do about it because no one can control the weather and other natural events. However, it's still possible that the hurricane might not hit land, but whether it'll happen or not, it pretty much goes with the probability. We can't stop hurricanes from coming, but we can get prepared if there's a hurricane warning, so that you'll still be safe.
