When a hurricane makes landfall it weakens rapidly, with the winds at lower levels weakening faster than those at upper levels. This difference in wind speed creates wind shear, which can cause the thunderstorms in the rain bands of a hurricane to start rotating. This rotating can then tighten and intensify to form tornadoes.
