How is airport transportation affected by hurricanes?
Airports near the landfall of a hurricane are typically shut down and travel from that location is not possible. If the airport is a hub like Miami, this will impact a large region of the US and other areas the airlines serve from that airport. Usually airlines try and get their aircraft out of the airport that will become affected, but if they fail to do so, the aircraft cannot be used for other scheduled flights, which may result in the cancellation of flights completely separate from the hurricane airport. If the aircraft goes through a hurricane, it may become damaged, resulting in the need for repairs before returning to service.

Does plane wheels spin before landing?
When the landing gear is lowered there is no mechanism on the aircraft to get the wheels spinning before touchdown. The wheels may spin a little due to the flow of air over them but they may even be turning very slowly in the opposite direction to that at touchdown! Interestingly the grip of the main wheels on touchdown with the runway can affect the feel of the landing. When you land on a dry and `grippy` surface the touchdown may feel harder as the wheels will grip the runway on touchdown and the rotational forces that are required to get the wheels turning will cause a rotational force on the aircraft that will pull the nose of the aircraft down slightly which might cause the nosewheel to touchdown harder than on a normal day, thus making the `second` touchdown feel harsher.
