Yes, as water boils the temperature of the boiling water no longer rises. The energy from the heat source that is boiling the water is however STILL there. What happens is that this energy is taken away by the water vapor leaving the boiling water surface. This energy is called "LATENT HEAT".

The latent heat is given up again when the water vapor condenses back to liquid water so the water vapor caries the heat from one place to another.

It is this energy that powers Hurricanes.
