it depends a lot on what direction and where exactly it is "hangin" out. generally, from my experience, its the stronger ones that tend to effect land more because they stay right on the coast. they pick up their energy and such from the ocean there for they keep moving and fast at that. the weaker ones even when picking up energy and such from the ocean, make land fall and either break apart into individual storms therefore, no longer a hurricane/tropical storm/tropical depression. the stronger ones tend to stay hurricane/tropical storm/tropical depression's longer. everyone's got their opinion though
