True; within a few hours of making landfall, high winds from a hurricane or tropical storm are no longer dangerous.
Hurricanes, also referred to as tropical cyclones, are low-pressure systems that develop over tropical or subtropical oceans and feature organized thunderstorm activity. Warm ocean waters provide them with energy. The surface winds circulate continually in a circular pattern when storm systems intensify into hurricanes. This pattern is referred to by meteorologists as "closed circulation." Depending on which hemisphere the storm is in, the circulation has a varied direction: in the Northern hemisphere, it rotates counterclockwise, while in the Southern hemisphere, it rotates clockwise. The iconic "eye" of the hurricane, the calm, clear core of the storm, develops as a result of these spinning winds. Whereas winds are strongest, the eyewall surrounds the eye.
