What are the chances of Maine being hit by a hurricane?
Usually, hurricanes are either relatively weak (Category 1), or of tropical storm strength when they threaten the Maine coastline. However, the chance of Maine being hit by a hurricane does exist. The United States Landfalling Hurricane Probability Project is part of the Tropical Meteorology Research Project at Colorado State University and the GeoGraphics Laboratory at Bridgewater State College. It provides information on probabilities of landfall, including past landfalling hurricanes and tropical storms.
