When a hurricane crosses overland, it begins to lose its primary source of energy, which is warm ocean water. As a result, the storm typically weakens, leading to a decrease in wind speeds and overall intensity. Additionally, the friction from the land surface can disrupt the storm's structure, causing it to weaken further and lose its organized circulation. However, even as it diminishes, a hurricane can still bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and flooding to inland areas.
