Explanation:

Hurricanes are caused because of the storm surge in the sea level during cyclone. They are produced when the pressure is low over warm water bodies. Thus, hurricanes are formed over coastal regions. However, hurricanes loose strength when they pass over the land due to sudden drop in temperature, moisture and friction. Hurricanes causes widespread losses as they uproot the tress, damage the infrastructure asses such as electric poles, bridges, houses etc.  

On an average a hurricane lasts for 12 hours.
