Having lived and been reared on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I have heard about them for about 60 years. I now live in Houston, which isn't much better. The normal term is simply "landfall", which is used by everyone, from meteorologists to mayors. I have never heard it called anything else.

Nothing in particular causes a hurricane to hit land.

What causes hurricanes to move out to sea sometimes?
Hurricanes form at sea, they don't move out to sea. Occasionally a hurricane will hit land and its remnants will re-emerge in the ocean.

Occasionally these work to take a hurricane onto land and back out to sea.
