No, hurricanes normally form over the Atlantic Ocean where there is little to no dust. The white bits you see in satellite photos are just rain clouds formed from the very moist air in the hurricane. When they come ashore they will pickup some dust due to the high-speed winds but they are still mostly made up of rain clouds.
