According to the NOAA National Hurricane Center, there are an average of 5.8 Atlantic hurricanes per year that affect the United States. Although this doesn't necessarily mean they "hit they US." (See http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/pastprofile.shtml)In the 2009 hurricane season, there were 2 Atlantic hurricanes.
No, not every US state has been directly hit by a hurricane. However, tropical storms and hurricanes have impacted many states along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. States in the southern and eastern parts of the country are more prone to being affected by hurricanes.
Zero (0) hurricanes hit the US in 2009.
