Where does it happen? Hurricanes usually occur on beaches or in
the water along the eastern states including parts of Texas, Florida, Virginia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South and North Carolina, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Sometimes we, even in the Midwest get strong wind and rain after a hurricane.
