During WWII, did USA suffer from air-bombing?

Other than Pearl Harbor the US was never bombed in any significant way and Pearl Harbor was only bombed once. There were a couple of small incidents by the Japanese and one by the Germans but they were too trivial. Compare that with Britain - every major industrial city and port were bombed some of them many, many times. During the Blitz, London was bombed for 76 consecutive nights and somewhere in Britain was bombed on almost every single night of the war - which lasted almost six years for us. That kind of puts it in perspective.
