... Powers that predict these things say 12-17 NAMED STORMS this year...maybe?

Benthic....
Extratropical stoms aren't as potent as hurricanes?
Not a fan of history I guess...or never spent time at sea in the North Atlantic.
Yeah I get the navigable semi circle idea...
Plenty of people in New England will be glad to relate their storm tales to you.
I personally have sat through at least one nor'easter in NJ that clocked 90 knot winds.
I'm grew up in Boston and lived there until I was 40 YO. My family had a home in Rockport (Ma) that I was tending to during the Perfect Storm until I got called back to work later in the day to push on barges at dock to hopefully keep them from breaking loose. I also was working during Super storm Sandy in Port Newark, NJ. 90 MPH clocked next to us. We were trying to move a crane barge until roof got peeled of building next to dock,narrowly missing the deck hands. I called off the evolution and we sat holding (pushing)company equipment to the dock all night.but unless they offer some geographic guidance, that's useless. information because you don't know if they are going to hit Texas or South Carolina....or never make landfall at all.
Even though we get hurricanes in New England they aren't the same as Florida. By the time a storm is this far north it is moving very fast. That storm speed is subtracted from the wind speed for everyone to the west of the track, and since the storms travel up the coast, there aren't many people to the east of the storm track. Plus we don't have the water temperatures to feed the hurricanes. In Florida ( and surrounding areas ) storms can stall just off the coast, grow in intensity and just batter the crap out of an area for an extended period.. The storms can still grow over land due to the everglades and Lake O, and there's no elevation to slow the wind speed in FL.
