Hurricane Sandy was downgraded from a hurricane to a post-tropical cyclone on October 29, 2012.
Because there is no water to fuel it.A hurricane needs warm humid air. That's the basic ingredient for a hurricane. Once it starts to go inland the warm humid air stops going to the hurricane.(Warm humid air is found near the ocean.)It starts to lose its speed while going inland because the warm humid air stops coming.

Yes. A hurricane name may be reused once every six years unless a storm of that name is particularly bad (e.g. Katrina, Andrew), in which case the name is retired from use.
Hurricanes can only form over tropical ocean water, and don't last long once they hit land. Idaho is too far inland and too far north to get hurricanes.

Yes. Normally a hurricane name can be re-used once every six years.

The name 'Glenda' has been used more than once for indicating a hurricane. There was a hurricane Glenda in 1963 and there was a hurricane Glenda in 1969.

19% goes directly into the governments coffers. I don't know what happens to the rest once Inland Revenue have collected it.

This is highly variable, but most hurricanes do their heaviest damage within 50 miles of making landfall. Once a hurricane makes landfall, it is cut off from it's power supply (the ocean) and it loses steam rapidly. By 100 miles inland, it is merely heavy thunderstorms
Hurricanes depend on warm ocean water to maintain their strength and weaken Quickly once they hit land. Mobile is right on the gulf coast, leaving it vulnerable to hurricanes. Huntsville is far enough inland that it is essentially impossible for a storm to strike it as a hurricane
