Having lived and been reared on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I have heard about them for about 60 years. I now live in Houston, which isn't much better. The normal term is simply "landfall", which is used by everyone, from meteorologists to mayors. I have never heard it called anything else.
What else can I help you with?

Is the storm suge a small wave after a hurricane?
No. The storm surge is a bulge of seawater that is driven onto land by hurricane winds.
What is the name of the mass of water that crashes onto land along with a hurricane?
The mass of water that crashes onto land along with a hurricane is called a storm surge. It is caused by the strong winds and low pressure of the hurricane pushing water towards the shore, resulting in a rapid rise in sea level.
What causes a hurricane to lose energy when it move onto land?
it sops eating energy drinks and chocolate bars
How was the flood during Hurricane Sandy formed?
The coastal flooding was the result of something called a storm surge. This occurs when the winds of a hurricane drive ocean water onto land.
What is the fast moving rising wall of water that pushes onto shore with a hurricane?
It is called the Surge and, if the Tide is coming in, it is enhanced and is called a Tidal Surge.
What pulls a hurricane on to land?
Nothing in particular causes a hurricane to hit land. The paths of hurricanes are influenced by large-scale wind currents, which include the global wind belts and the winds created by other weather systems. Sometimes the path of a hurricane happens to go onto land, and sometimes it doesn't. You tend to hear more about the ones that hit land because those are the ones that cause damage.
What happens to a hurricane when it moves on to land?
When a hurricane moves onto land, it loses its main energy source (warm ocean waters) and begins to weaken. The storm can also be disrupted by friction from land surfaces and encounter drier air, which further diminishes its strength. As a result, the hurricane typically dissipates or weakens significantly as it moves over land.

What force in a hurricane causes most deaths?

What stopped Hurricane Katrina?
After moving onto land Hurricane Katrina was cut off from the warm ocean water that was its power source. The storm weakened to an extratropical low before finally being absorbed by another system over the eastern U.S.
What does a hurricane cause most of its death and destruction with?
Hurricanes cause most of their death and destruction through something called a storm surge. The storm surge results from the hurricane's winds forcing seawater onto land. This storm surge can lead to severe coastal flooding.
