Hurricanes weaken when they move over land.
Hurricanes are fueled by water.
Hurricanes that strike land weaken rapidly. If they re-emerge onto water they have the opportunity to restrengthen.
Not really. Hurricanes can only form over warm ocean water. Once they hit land they weaken rapidly and don't stay as hurricanes for very long.
Smaller islands such as those of the Lesser Antilles will have little effect on hurricanes. Storms that hit the larger islands such as Cuba will weaken.

No, hurricanes are fueled by warm ocean water so they weaken because they lose the warm ocean water on land. A hurricane controls the sea ocean breezes.

Hurricanes typically travel towards the poles or out to sea if they do not make landfall. They can weaken and dissipate over cold waters or weaken naturally as they move away from warm ocean temperatures that fuel their strength.
No hurricanes form over the ocean. They weaken rapidly if they hit land.
That, and when they contact land.

civil wars, epidemics, drought, and hurricanes
While Ohio is not directly on the coast, hurricanes can still bring wind, rain, and flooding to the state, especially as they weaken and move inland. However, by the time hurricanes typically reach Ohio, they have weakened significantly from their original strength.
