Tropical storms form over warm ocean water. They weaken rapidly if they hit land.

No. Tropical storms develop over warm ocean water and don't remain tropical storms more than a couple hundred miles inland. Even then, Minnesota gets its fair share of nasty storms, including tornadoes, even if it does not get tropical storms.
A hurricane is a big storm over the ocean, it is one of the most powerful storms all over the world.
When there are warm currents over large surfaces of water, low presuure conditions are created that attract cyclones. This influences the route of the cyclonic storms.
Hurricanes get the energy they need from the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Without this energy source a hurricane weakens and dissipates.
What do you call very wide storms that form over warm ocean water
There was never a "tornado Douglas" as tornadoes are not given official names as hurricanes are.There were two storms called Hurricane Douglas. Both storms remianed over the open waters of the Pacific Ocean.

This is said to have been the WORST hurricane season yet!! So let those who have been affected be these storms be in our hearts at this hard time!
Dust storms blow over the Sahara Desert
Never. Hurricanes are called by different names in other parts of the world. These storms are labeled depending on where they occur. When they happen over the North Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Northeast Pacific Ocean, they are called Hurricanes. Storms that happen over the Northwest Pacific Ocean and west of the International Date Line (i.e.: Philippines) are called typhoons.
