Hurricanes feed on warm, moist air that they pull in. The lower the pressure, the more air they can pull in. Also, the lower pressure creates a larger force on the air, causing it to go faster. As more warm moist air gets pulled in the convection intensifies, causing the pressure to drop even further.
