A hurricane forms over the Atlantic Ocean. When it hits land and comes ashore, its wind speed decrease significantly.  This happens because the hurricane:

• gains more water from the flooded land than the ocean
• meets a land breeze
• meets a stronger hurricane moving from land
• no longer gains energy from warm ocean water
