You don't understand the difference between high risk and extremely low risk?
As has already been stated, the water is too cold this far north. There are no Cat-5s coming to NYC. In contrast, the Gulf is extremely warm, so Cat-5s can come anytime. Of course there are damaging storms in the north, but it's almost impossible for something greater than Cat-3 hitting this far north, so the relative risk is much less.
It's like comparing the risk of tornados between Oklahoma and Vermont, or the risk of wildfires between California and Michigan. Yes, all these areas have risk, but the risk isn't remotely comparable.
