It gets its energy from warm water.
A mountain will not be affected much by a hurricane, if at all. However, if a hurricane moves over land, and especially mountains it will rapidly weaken.
Hurricanes weaken rapidly over land.
No hurricanes form over the ocean. They weaken rapidly if they hit land.
A hurricane that move over land will rapidly weaken and degenerate into a remnant low pressure system.
No. Hurricanes only form over tropical ocean water and weaken rapidly if they hit land. Missouri is too far inland to get a hurricane.
The maximum storm surge occurs on the side of the storm where winds blow towards the shore. Soon afterwards the storm weakens rapidly.
No, a hurricane is a very different type of storm from a tornado. A hurricane is a large, organized, and destructive system of thunderstorms that developed of tropical ocean water. The average hurricane is 300 miles wide. A tornado is a small (in weather terms), violent vortex of air that generally occurs on land. A tornado forms from a single storm cell and is 50 yards wide on average. Hurricanes, however, can produce tornadoes at landfall.
Warm ocean water is the source of power for a hurricane. If a hurricane moves over land it will be cut off from that power source, causing the storm to weaken and the pressure to rise.
The energy of a hurricane is derived from the latent heat of condensation of the ascending moist air. When these hurricanes enter the land, their moisture source is cut off and consequently they weaken.

When a Hurricane hits land, it creates huge waves, very heavy rains, and can cause flooding. Afterwards the storm will weaken rapidly.
Hurricanes are fueled by water.
