What is the weak side of a hurricane?
The "weak" side of a hurricane is generally the left side relative to the storm's motion. This is because hurricanes in the northern hemisphere spin counterclockwise, so the storm's forward speed is subtracted by the wind speed. For example, if a hurricane is moving at 10mph and the eyewall is spinning at 80 mph, then the left side will experience 70 mph winds while the right side will experience 90 mph winds.
What are the main features of a hurricane?
Strong wind, heavy rain, and storm surge. Even weak tornadoes with landfalling hurricanes.
