They are so lucky. It must be the Chesapeake bay that protects the three states.
This is a great plot to help one decide where to retire to if one is interested in the East Coast.

It has more to due with steering currents (see post 13)
Typically the Bermuda high is in the mid Atlantic
If it extends west Storms will move into the Gulf
Otherwise storms move around it north on its west side up the coast
A trough of low pressure is often over the central and eastern US also tugging storms north
Most of the Long Island hits are from North to north- northeast moving storms in the above steering currents moving just off the coast
In these common steering set ups any storms just west of that path will simply hit NC
Instead of, MD or DE
Don’t forget the Delaware Bay helping out too.
