1886 : Seven Hurricanes Hit The US | Real Science
In 1886, Texas was hit by four hurricanes, including two major hurricanes. Florida : three hurricanes. Louisiana : two hurricanes including a major. Georgia : two hurricanes.

By contrast, the US has been hit by only one hurricane tropical storm (Irene) in the last three years, and that one hurricane storm had no hurricane force winds measured anywhere in the US.
