Because to get a hurricane to move left (west) that far north you need a very strong high pressure to the north and no low to the west (which drives storms north)
Climatology that’s rare in that location
Hurricane sandy in 2012 found that gap but it lost its tropical characteristics by the time it hit southern NJ so it’s referred to as a Superstorm sandy

Thanks. I notice the 2nd landfall for Agnes in 1972 was not listed. I guess because it was “only” a tropical storm by then, though it caused many deaths and huge damage.
