Pourquoi est-ce masculine ?

Huracán is masculine because it derives from the Taíno (Caribbean indigenous language) word "huracán," which was borrowed into Spanish in the 16th century and retained the masculine gender assignment typical of Spanish nouns ending in -án. The masculine gender likely stuck because Spanish speakers applied the common pattern of masculine -án nouns (like "capitán" and "volcán") when adopting this Caribbean loanword.
