Hurricanes are fueled by the moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. Cold water and especially land cannot provide that much moisture.
Are hurricanes a serious threat to Illinois and why?
No. Hurricanes develop over warm ocean water and weaken rapidly if they hit land. Illinois is too far inland to get hurricane, but it can get showers and storms from their remnants.
