Landfall map of all recorded hurricanes

There have been more landfalls in Long Island, New York than Georgia. There is a gap in south central Louisiana, that the commenter says is just "luck".

No kidding. This would be better presented as an infographic

Yeah somehow lafayette has been spared the brunt of terrible storms for a century

The curve of the Georgia coast probably is the reason for that.

Apparently NW FL has had more hurricanes make landfall (64) than any other area of FL which is really surprising to me.

Try skipping ahead in the video.

He said if Louisiana wouldn't be there, Francine would've hit Mississippi as a major hurricane.
That's where I stopped listening to him because he doesn't know what the frick he's talking about.

How is it possible that that stretch of Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware has never had a landfall?
South Carolina hasn't taken a direct landfall since 1989. The law of averages may catch up in the not too distant future...

I’m no meteorologist, but I bet it has something to do with the Chesapeake Bay

Not sure why that surprises you. The general pattern of a gulf hurricane is to get spun up in the south west and then get pushed east as it moves north. It's like a bowler going around the 1 pin to get to the 2-4 slot.

I would've guessed S FL from W Palm to Key West due to sticking out as a peninsula and potentially catching both Atlantic side and storms tracking into the gulf would've seen more storms.
You have to pass that entire area on the spin up just to get up towards Pensacola/Destin/PCB.
Its also interesting at least to someone like me who is pretty data driven how heavily weighted the storms in that area were to certain times. At least based on that graph the area got hit over and over in the late 1800's and has been relatively quiet in the last 50 years outside of Michael, Opal and Dennis.

Or obliterate the Caribbean isles/Yucatan en route to the GoM.

Louisiana has the second number of coastline miles, so it stands to reason we and Florida should be getting the most.
The top ten states with the longest shorelines, according to NOAA data, are:
Alaska: 33,904 miles
Florida: 8,436 miles
Louisiana: 7,721 miles
Maine: 3,478 miles
California: 3,427 miles
North Carolina: 3,375 miles
Texas: 3,359 miles
Virginia: 3,315 miles
but as it turns out, Louisiana is only number 3.
Florida 120
Texas 64
Louisiana 63
North Carolina 58
South Carolina 32
Georgia 21
