Where on land do hurricanes happen?

Answer 1

No, a hurricane is a very different type of storm from a tornado.

A hurricane is a large, organized, and destructive system of thunderstorms that developed of tropical ocean water. The average hurricane is 300 miles wide.

A tornado is a small (in weather terms), violent vortex of air that generally occurs on land. A tornado forms from a single storm cell and is 50 yards wide on average.

Hurricanes, however, can produce tornadoes at landfall.

Answer 2

Hurricanes typically form over warm ocean waters near the equator and can travel over landmasses such as islands, coastal areas, and even inland. The areas most affected by hurricanes on land are coastal regions, where the storm's strong winds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges can cause significant damage.

Answer 3

Since hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water and weaken quickly when over land, the primarily affect coastal areas in and near the tropics.
