Now that El Nino is dead, it's possible La Nina may develop between late 2019 and mid 2021. That may mean more hurricanes and tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. We have had hurricanes brush although not make landfall in New England. But we did have tropical storms in New England: Bertha 96, Danny 97, Floyd 99, Allison 2001, a 2004 tropical storm, Ophelia 2005, a 2006 tropical storm, Noel 2007, Hanna 2008, Earl 2010, Irene 2011 and Philippe 2017. Sooner or later, New England luck will run out; they and Long Island will be hit by hurricanes in future years. The last one in New England was Hurricane Bob in August 1991.
