Fox Weather reports on historical hurricane strike locations, emphasizing certain 'hot spots' where storms most frequently make landfall. While it's challenging to predict specific landfall locations in advance, researchers at the National Hurricane Center have compiled data showing the frequency of hurricanes passing within 50 nautical miles of specific points along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Notable 'hot spots' include South Florida, North Carolina, and Louisiana, with different average strike frequencies, such as North Carolina Outer Banks expecting a hurricane every 5-7 years on average. The data highlights vulnerability along various coastal regions, urging preparedness for hurricane season.
