Best Answer

No, hurricanes are formed in the ocean.

Clarification:

While hurricanes themselves do not occur in the desert, remains of such storms are occasional visitors to the southwest desert states of the United States bringing torrential rains that can sometimes last for days. These have been known to cause severe flooding.
