How long does it take a level 1 hurricane to travel over land?

The forward motion of a storm is independent of its wind strength, but a storm's intensity will determine how long it remains a storm once it is over land.
For "smaller" hurricanes and tropical storms, the forward motion is often largely due to the movement of air masses that it encounters. A large moving low pressure system can "pick up" a storm and accelerate it, and a large high-pressure ridge can sometimes almost completely stop a storm's forward motion.

How can hurricanes travel long distances?
They travel long distances by receiving their energy from the warm water, and as they travel over warm water, (such as the Gulf of Mexico) they gain speed and strength. They then travel over land with this energy, until it runs out, and the hurricane's power diminishes.
What is the average speed that a hurricane moves toward land?
Hurricanes occur over oceans, not land and usually do not last long if they do hit land. Winds in a hurricane are at least 74 mph and can be as high as 200 mph. The forward speed of a hurricane is usually 15-20 mph, but they can be stationary or move at up to 60 mph.

After a hurricane is named how long does it take to hit land?
Storms become Hurricanes when the wind speed reaches a certain value. The Hurrican may then stall out or turn away from the US or any number of possibilities. Some actually have hit land twice. Usually a Hurrican will travel to the NorthWest direction but when they hit land, they turn and travel NorthEast. So some will hit land and turn and go back out to sea and then pick up speed and return.
