A hurricane's winds will start to decrease as soon as it hits land. If it hits high terrain it will weaken faster as the increase in elevation forces more of the moisture to fall as precipitation. This creates in increased risk of flooding.

Why do hurricanes rarely from in higher latitudes?
Hurricanes form in warm tropical waters and the conditions aren't right in higher northern latitudes because the temperature of the water is cold.
Which has higher wind speed hurricanes or tornadoes?
There is actually a good deal of overlap. The winds of most hurricanes and tornadoes and hurricanes fall into the same range. However, the strongest tornadoes have faster winds than the strongest hurricanes.
Why don't hurricanes occur in the high latitudes?
Hurricanes require warm ocean water to form and maintain their strength. The water in the higher latitudes is too cold.

What could decrease Earth's temperature?
Lower solar input & higher infrared radiation at night could decrease Earth's temperature.
Why people feel breathless as they climb higher and higher on a mountain?
The amount of oxygen decrease as they climb up... The higher you get from the ground the less oxygen you get.
Hurricanes have a windspeed of blank or higher?
If the wind speed is less than 75 mph it is not a hurricane at all and the most severe hurricanes are more than 150 mph Hurricanes have a Wind speed of 75 or Higher
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the temperature increase or decrease?
decrease

Does air pressure increase or decrease as you go higher?
decrease
Why do hurricanes happen between tropical latitudes and not an higher latitude?
Hurricanes depend on very warm ocean water to sustain themselves. The waters of higher latitudes are not warm enough.
How do hurricanes effect the atmosphere?
Hurricanes help maintain thermodynamic balance in the atmosphere. Along with other phenomena hurricanes help bring heat out of the tropics and into the higher latitudes.
Can hurricanes get higher than 390feet in elevation?
yes a hurricane can get higher than 390 feet.

What are you going to do when there is an hurricane?
You need to be inside a sturdy shelter away from windows. Most deaths in hurricanes are caused by flooding, so if you are in a low-lying area you should leave for higher ground. Do not go underground.
What was the Production Budget for Higher Ground?
The Production Budget for Higher Ground was $1,800,000.
When was Higher Ground released?
Higher Ground was released on 08/23/2011.
