True. Mother nature does not think or say "hmm that area over there hasnt had any storms in 30 years, its time to change it up a bit
"... It just doesnt happen in the real world, only in the movies (not even lol). if it did, thatd be the scariest thing ever! So, like Hurricaneman said... its just best to be prepared. What we can say is that chances of a category 3 or 4 slamming New England as a direct hit are much lower statistically than in areas like GOM, Florida, SC and NC, in terms of a U.S. landfall.
