Your other reader has correctly identified their source region as the ocean, but to be more specific he or she should have noted that the storms that can affect the US generally orginate off the coast of Africa where the surface wind patterns favor the initial cyclonic circulation needed to get a storm organized. Here is how that works. So-called monsoonal winds to the south of the trade winds (general easterlies) are southerly or south-westerly winds being drawn into the hot continent of Africa. This circulation gives rise to cloud formation and the release of latent heat of condensation which fires up the storm's engine even more. But, and this is very important, anywhere you find a monsoonal trough structure in the winds (south-westerly to easterly or south-easterly as you go north from the equator) together with a suitable sea surface temperature of 28 C or higher, you will have a tropical cyclone genesis area.
