Not really considering that all of the Great Lakes, along with their

Yeah, but they're not on the east coast... officially...

Besides, they still get hurricanes. Hurricane Hugo, long
time ago now but still vivid in memory, hit Lake Norman with
great damage to property including sinking a lot of boats.
A lot of Gulf hurricanes end up hitting the Ohio & Tennessee
valleys.

Earthquakes, hurricanes... at least we don't have plagues of
locusts any more...

And the Hudson River is where exactly?

Depends on which end you're at.

Maybe the confusion arose over thinking of places on
navigable water *from* the East Coast rather than *on* the
east coast.
