What part of a hurricane have the most intense winds rain fall tornadoes and storm surge in the northern hemisphere?

The most intense wind, rainfall, and storm surge occur primarily in the eye wall of the hurricane, with the most intense wind and storm surge in the right eye wall. Most of the tornadoes will occur in the outer bands, also most predominantly on the right side of the storm.


Where in a hurricane do the strongets winds occur?

The strongest winds in a hurricane in the northern hemisphere are found on the right side of the storm...this is with respect to the direction the storm is moving. For instance, if the storm is moving north, the right side would be the eastern side of the storm. This is reversed in the southern hemisphere.


Is the west side of a hurricane the worst?

Not necessarily. Generally the right side of a hurricane is worst. Since hurricanes spin counterclockwise the wind speed on the right side of the hurricane is equal to the speed the hurricane is spinning plus its forward speed. So if a hurricane is spinning at 90 mph and traveling at 10 mph, areas on the right side of the storm would experience 100 mph winds. The stronger winds also lead to a higher storm surge. Because of this the west side of a hurricane would be worst if it were traveling south. If the storm is traveling north, which is somewhat more common, then the east side is worse.


Which side of the eye of a hurricane receives the greatest force force from the storm and gets most damage?

The right side of a hurricane's eye wall usually causes the worst damage.

Which side of a hurricane is the worse side east or west?

If a hurricane or other tropical cyclone is moving the winds on one side will be faster than on the opposite side in relation to the ocean or ground the storm is moving over. In the Northern Hemisphere the fastest winds will be on the right side, if you are looking in the direction of the storm's movement. That is, if the hurricane is moving toward the west, the strongest winds will be on the north side; if it's moving north, the strongest winds will be on the east side.


Sides of a hurricane wet and dry side?

In the northern hemisphere Atlantic ocean, where storms generally track from east to west, and their winds rotate counter-clockwise, the north side (or east side of a north-tracking storm) is the wetter side, while the south side (or west side of a north-tracking storm) is the dryer sides. Note that the wet side has higher-speed winds because the storm speed is additive, while the dry side has lower-speed winds because the forward tracking speed of the storm reduces the wind speeds.

What is the most destructive part of a hurricane?

As a general rule of thumb, the inner eye wall of the hurricane's right side (relative to the direction it is travelling) is the most dangerous part of the storm because of the additive effect of the hurricane wind speed and speed of the larger atmospheric flow (the steering winds). The increased winds on the right side increase the storm surge.Storm surge is the greatest potential threat to life and property associated with hurricanes. A storm surge is a large dome of water -- 50 to 100 miles wide -- that sweeps across the coastline near where a hurricane makes landfall. It can be more than 15 feet deep at its peak.The level of surge in a particular area is primarily related to the intensity of the hurricane and slope of the continental shelf.
