I don't know what you mean, the Sun always "hits the Earth directly". A full moon happens when the Moon is opposite to the Sun in the sky.

What moon phase has earth directly between the sun and moon?

The full moon. Earth is ALMOST directly between the sun and moon, so the sun is "behind" us when we look at the moon. That is why the moon appears entirely lit to us, and is considered "full". If Earth IS directly between the sun and moon, which does not happen during most full moons, then there is a lunar eclipse.

Why does the earth not block the sun from reaching the moon during a full moon?

The earth does not block the sun during *most* full moons because it is not *directly* between the sun and moon. If the earth does block the sun from the moon, then the earth must be directly between the sun and moon. This will happen at full moon, since the three must be in a line, and you would see the full moon, then the eclipse, then the moon fully illuminated again.

What is worse the eye of the storm crossing the coast during a New Moon or a Full Moon?

There would not be a difference in the effects between a new moon and a full moon. However, the effects of the storm hitting at high tide during a full moon or new moon will be worse than at high tide during a half moon.
