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 bad side of a hurricane?

Why is the west side wetter than east?
The west side of many continents tends to be wetter than the east side due to prevailing wind patterns. As prevailing winds move from west to east across the continents, they pick up moisture from the ocean and deposit it on the western side as they encounter mountains, causing the moisture to condense and fall as precipitation.
What is the most common path or hurricane that strike the US?
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.
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.
