Friction affects a hurricane primarily through its influence on the wind patterns and surface interactions. As winds move over the ocean and approach land, friction with the surface reduces their speed and alters their direction, which can weaken the storm and disrupt its organized structure. Additionally, friction can enhance the transfer of energy from the ocean to the atmosphere, potentially impacting the hurricane's intensity and rainfall distribution. Overall, while friction is a small force compared to the overall dynamics of a hurricane, it plays a crucial role in shaping its behavior, especially near landfall.
it rubs the steel because its friction!

The force of friction needs to touch an object to have an effect. Friction occurs when two surfaces are in contact and one surface resists the motion of the other surface. It is this resistance that allows friction to have an effect on objects in contact.

Friction with the land helps to lower the wind speed.
A lot since it was the hurricane that damaged things the most.
Mostly Texas.
Friction slows down objects by in some capacity rubbing against them
