Does the earths rotation make prevailing winds go north and south or east and west?
Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.
Prevailing winds that blow from east to west?
Either the Polar Easterlies or the Trade Winds, depending on latitude.
Which way does most wind blow in Pennsylvania USA?

Which direction do the winds around a hurricane travel?
In the Atlantic, it is typically steered by some form of the Bermuda High in the central part of the ocean, which moves it from east to west with the easterly Trade Winds. It can then curve it off to the north around the East Coast of the United States, or further west into the Caribbean. These steering winds at the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere are typically strong enough to move the hurricane along to the west or north, but they can really move in any direction, especially when these winds break down. Hurricane movement is typically difficult to predict in these circumstances.
