Once a hurricane moves inland, it is typically referred to as a tropical storm or simply a tropical depression, depending on its sustained wind speeds. The official designation of "hurricane" is reserved for storms that maintain their strength over water. As the system weakens, it loses its hurricane classification but can still bring significant rainfall and flooding.
Hurricane Sandy was downgraded from a hurricane to a post-tropical cyclone on October 29, 2012.
Because there is no water to fuel it.A hurricane needs warm humid air. That's the basic ingredient for a hurricane. Once it starts to go inland the warm humid air stops going to the hurricane.(Warm humid air is found near the ocean.)It starts to lose its speed while going inland because the warm humid air stops coming.

Yes. A hurricane name may be reused once every six years unless a storm of that name is particularly bad (e.g. Katrina, Andrew), in which case the name is retired from use.
No. Hurricanes form over the ocean and don't last very long once they hit land. So, Lubbock is too far inland to get hurricanes. It is' however, in a tornado prone region, and has even been hit by an F5 tornado.

Yes. Normally a hurricane name can be re-used once every six years.

The name 'Glenda' has been used more than once for indicating a hurricane. There was a hurricane Glenda in 1963 and there was a hurricane Glenda in 1969.

No, the Pacific Ocean does not reuse hurricane names. The list of names for each hurricane season is determined by the World Meteorological Organization, and once a name is used, it is retired and replaced with a new name. This helps to avoid confusion and ensures that each hurricane is easily identifiable.
This is highly variable, but most hurricanes do their heaviest damage within 50 miles of making landfall. Once a hurricane makes landfall, it is cut off from it's power supply (the ocean) and it loses steam rapidly. By 100 miles inland, it is merely heavy thunderstorms
