You find hurricanes between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn - around the equator. This is because for them to form you need water of above 27 degrees and this is the hottest area on earth. The hurricanes are sometimes strong enough to move onto land masses, but many just stay above the ocean, some hurricanes can destroy many places before they become weaker and nonexistent.
