Hurricane Betsy was a classic Cape Verde storm which developed on 27 August, 1965. It moved somewhat erratically in a northwest direction. It cut a swath through the Bahamas, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico. Betsy then moved on to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. After moving through Louisiana, Betsy headed north into Arkansas. From there the storm headed northeast, following the Mississippi River to the Ohio Valley and Pennsylvania. What was left of Betsy finally dissipated over Ohio on the 13tth of September.

Can hurricanes go backward?
Yes, a hurricane can typically take any direction, given all necessary conditions arise; and temperature plays a big part on their turns and loops.As you can see Hurricane Betsy (1956), Hurricane Ivan (2004), Hurricane Jeanne (2004) and Hurricane Dennis (1999) all had very bizarre turns that (if they had been on land) would have been considered ''going backwards''.Please take a look at the links below!However, in professional terms, they are really called "loops", usually when a hurricane appears to turn around it really is going in a loop often in a counter-clockwise direction. It can then re-enter land which is a common occurrence in these types of situations.
