There is a phenomenon that sometimes happens with hurricanes, whereas they normally rapidly lose strength after making landfall, there have been times where there is enough standing water (warm, standing water) in the landfall area to provide additional "fuel" for the storm, so that it doesn't lose strength as quickly.
