Why do hurricanes strike all the time?

Hurricanes strike because of wind patterns that are triggered to build into large masses due to temperature and humidity. The most humidity occurs in tropical areas, such as Florida state next to the Gulf of Mexico, therefore hurricanes are best known there. This build up of wind masses occurs regularly in the summer because the humidity is the highest. I hope that answered your question!
