The most common path is to initially move westward and then turn north and sometimes east to strike either the Gulf Coast or the southern Atlantic Coast.
The most common path for hurricanes that strike the US is generally from the Atlantic Ocean or Gulf of Mexico, moving westward towards the East Coast or Gulf Coast states. These storms can make landfall anywhere from Texas to Maine, with Florida being one of the most frequently impacted states.
The most common path for hurricanes to strike the US is along the Gulf Coast and the East Coast, particularly Florida and the Carolinas. This is due to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean which fuel hurricane development in these regions.
False , hurricanes travel forward at about 74 mph (119 km/hr)
Hurricanes lose energy when they move over cool ocean waters, encounter strong vertical wind shear, or interact with land masses. These factors can disrupt the organization of the storm, causing it to weaken and dissipate.
Tropical cyclones can be very unpredictable, especially in path. Some hurricanes quickly pose an immediate threat to land, while others harmlessly drift into the icy Canadian waters. Most formed hurricanes would move West or Northwest, but many tropical waves, remnants of U.S. storms, and wind shear affect the path of the hurricane. Hurricanes travel into the Gulf of Mexico usually because there is very little other activity affecting the storm, or influencing to move away to the Gulf's entrance.

Hurricanes are monitored by various organizations such as the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in the United States, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) among others. These organizations use satellites, buoys, aircraft, and computer models to track and predict the path and intensity of hurricanes.

No. It would be meteorology.
This is the Coriolis Effect.
In terms of overall damage, tropical cyclones such as hurricanes are the most destructive. In terms of severity, tornadoes are generally the most destructive.
Education.
Only to a limited degree. Many hurricanes do follow the same general trend in the paths they take. While the general path of a hurricane can be predicted within reason, the exact path of a hurricane is never quite certain. Furthermore, some hurricanes do follow unusual paths.
Not only do hurricane paths change, they are near unpredictable.
Lightning will always have a tendency to strike: 1) The highest object around, and 2) The easiest path to ground. A high, metal antenna is a perfect path for lightning.
When charges move along a path, an electric current is produced. This flow of electric charge can result in the generation of a magnetic field around the path of the moving charges. The relationship between electric current and magnetic fields is described by the laws of electromagnetism.
