Hurricanes always form in the Caribbean Sea (similar storms form in other warm parts of the ocean, but they have different names; typhoons form in the south Pacific) but they travel, usually to the north, so hurricanes can take place pretty much anywhere in the Caribbean or the eastern portion of North America; they can enter Mexico as well.

Where does the initial energy comes from that feeds the hurricane as it begins its journey across the Atlantic Ocean?
Hurricanes are mostly started and 'fed' by heat energy from the ocean (and hence, the air). Hurricanes often start in the Caribbean Sea and travel northerly or easterly along the US coastline.
