Hurricane season '09?

The hurricane season starts for this area in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean Sea on June 1 and ends November 30. The season does not start in the U.S. or in Africa but starts over the ocean. Some of the storms that turn into hurricanes come from Africa but that happens every year and normally does not happen until later on in the season (July-August-September), this is not something that is unique to this year. The hurricanes typically do not form from a storm starting in the United States. Some of the storms may affect PA and NY if they hit the U.S. but likely due to the location of PA and NY relative to the U.S. coast those locations should not receive the strongest winds/rain from those landfalling storms. They may receive some rain and thunderstorms from these storms. It is very difficult (okay pretty much impossible) to say where a hurricane will hit land later this season. So I cannot say for certain whether or not NY and PA will be affected by a hurricane this season.
