What do North Carolinians ask Google the most?
What is the burning question North Carolinians ask Google to answer the most?
Turns out, it’s about weather – maybe a little less embarrassing than other states’ questions.
“Why do hurricanes form?” is the most commonly searched “why do” question on Google in North Carolina, according to All Home Connections, an AT&T retailer, which compiled data for all 50 states using Google Trends.
With a particularly active hurricane season this year, that question probably isn’t all that surprising for North Carolinians. Hurricane season ends Nov. 30.

This turned up “why do” questions for every state but Wyoming, which was more interested in “how” than “why.”
