Yes. Most storms in the tropics including hurricanes actually move east to west. It is fairly rare in temperate regions, though it can happen if a storm occurs in the portion of a low pressure system closest to a pole.

Does lightning come from the east and flash to the west?

Lightning does not have a specific directional pattern like coming from the east to the west; rather, it occurs within thunderstorms. The direction of lightning strikes can vary based on the storm's dynamics, including wind patterns and the movement of the storm itself. Typically, in the United States, thunderstorms move from west to east, which can lead to lightning strikes appearing to flash from the east to the west, but this is not a rule. The actual path of lightning is determined by the electrical charges within the storm.
