Hurricane Climatology

Hurricanes are one of the most severe types of weather to impact the coastline of the eastern continental United States (U.S). A common misconception is that there are parts of the coast, from Texas to Maine, that do not get hurricanes. In fact, since 1850, all of U.S. coastal counties have been impacted by either at least one direct or indirect landfalling hurricane. The most susceptible locations to hurricane strikes are the southeast and southwest coasts of the Florida Peninsula, the Gulf Coast, and the Carolina Coast.
