No, it is more common for them to lose energy.

Do hurricanes occur in the Antarctic?
No, hurricanes are confined to the tropics. Hurricanes require a lot of energy from warm ocean water. It is far too cold in and around Antarctica to support hurricanes.
What causes a hurricane to decrease its strength?
Hurricanes weaken when they are not over warm water or are over cooler water. (You couldn't have a hurricane in an area that is not near warm water). When they come to land the energy from the wind is lessened by the land formations as both land and cold water cut off a hurricane from the warm water the provides its energy.
Does Minneapolis have hurricanes?
No because Minneapolis is not near the ocean.
Do all hurricanes start off of the coast of africa?
No. Only Atlantic hurricanes, and even then, only about half of Atlantic hurricanes start there. Hurricanes can also form in the west Atlantic and the Caribbean. Hurricane Katrina, for example, formed near the Bahamas.
What areas of the world have the most hurricanes?
Since hurricanes are natural and form in the ocean around summer time near the equator (where the ocean is very hot), the area with the highest incidents of hurricanes (around the world) would be near the gulf of mexico, florida, cal. , and any places near the equator with warm ocean water, that proiveds moisture and warmth to support the huriicane -yourwelcome
Why are hurricanes not formed in Canada?
Hurricanes form over warm oceans, (that's how they get their energy) and there aren't any near Canada.
What countries can Hurricanes be formed in?
Hurricanes don't form in countries because they cannot develop over land. Most countries that border an ocean in or near the tropics, generally on the west side of the ocean, can get hurricanes.
Why are hurricanes not formed near Canada?
Hurricanes need warm ocean water to form. The waters near Canada are to cold for hurricanes to form.
Do hurricanes occur in the Antarctic?
No, hurricanes are confined to the tropics. Hurricanes require a lot of energy from warm ocean water. It is far too cold in and around Antarctica to support hurricanes.
Where hurricanes appear?
Hurricanes appear near the ocean because a hurricane waves come from the water in the ocean. Hurricanes can create big winds and storms to other place that can be near by!!!!
Do hurricanes occur more near certain oceans?
Hurricanes originate in the Caribbean.
Where in the water do hurricanes occur?
Hurricanes occur over warm ocean water in or near the tropics.

Why do the Gulf Coast and eastern Florida experience more hurricanes than the rest of the country?
The US gulf coast and southern Atlantic coast border warm water from the tropics. This warm water provides the energy that power hurricanes. This energy comes from water vapor that evaporates from the warm water. Storm clusters that often roll off the coast of Africa serve as "seeds" that grow into hurricanes when they encounter this energy source. Hurricanes are cut off from this source of moisture once they hit land and rapidly lose strength. So hurricanes lose hurricane status before they can get very far inland. The waters of the Pacific and northern Atlantic coasts are too cold to support hurricanes.
Does Minneapolis have hurricanes?
No because Minneapolis is not near the ocean.
What are hurricanes based on?
it is based on the type of climate you are near
Can hurricanes form anywhere in the world?
No. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water in or near the tropics.
