Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water and weaken quickly when they hit land. Chicago is far enough from the ocean that only the extratropical remnants of hurricanes can reach it. These are generally not much worse than ordinary storm systems.

Why can't hurricanes hit Chicago?

Hurricanes usually form over warm ocean waters near the equator, where they gain strength and energy. As hurricanes move northward, they tend to weaken as they encounter colder waters and less favorable atmospheric conditions. Additionally, the direction of prevailing winds and air pressure systems over North America typically steer hurricanes away from the Midwest towards the Atlantic or Gulf Coast.


What keeps hurricanes going and why doesnt it get tired?

Hurricanes get their energy from moist air. They originate in over oceans as the water evaporates. Hurricanes eventually die out when they travel over land or cooler waters, where their water vapor source is cut off to fuel the storm.


Was there a hurricane in Chicago?
