interesting, am nearly positive no NE corridor city can make that claim - am positive NYC, Philly, DC, and Baltimore cant and imagine Boston either (or Chicago (am positive) and many or most Midwestern cities
Actually I need to find this link but Philadelphia with recorded records has had more Hurricane eyes pass over the city then has Miami
you guys have me thinking have to find this article as recent as Sandy (I actually remember going and walking aroundwhile the eye was overhead - was nearly calm and surreal)

What's that like? Also, has Philly suffered a lot of direct damage from hurricanes?
What's that like? Also, has Philly suffered a lot of direct damage from hurricanes?
mostly not bad Sandy pounded North Jersey (starting like 15 miles north of Philly) and NYC to the Northern part of that eye (crossed at AC and then across to Philly) - the most damaging winds and storm serge
Was supposed to be a little south and moved north saving the major damage here and North Jersey and NYC were not so lucky sadly
the Northeasters generally do more damage in the winter then has Hurricanes - think since the sixties anyway
agree on the humidity but NYC and Philly and DC are by no means immune to humidity, personally I think the summers here are more extreme than winters contrary to what many think outside of the area - last summer was extremely mild however
still Miami, Key West, and Cancun having lower historic highs is at least somewhat odd given their locations humidity aside
100+ in Philly is seen nearly every year, albeit not the average but not at all extraordinary, hot though
I think I also read the normal high temp registered in most years for DC, Baltimore, Philly and NYC is higher then the average highest summer temp in Atl actually
soupy to me is Houston and NOLA even moreso then Miami
