Hurricane Camille traveled across the Gulf of Texas (north) and headed straight for New Orleans. Just before it reached New Orleans, it changed direction and moved east and back out into the Atlantic Ocean where it dissipated.
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
Wind shear is one of the most critical factors in controlling or even destroying hurricane formation, the more wind, the more powerful the hurricane. Conversely, if the wind is blowing in the opposite direction of the hurricane, it can slow it down or destroy it.
Hurricane Hugo's dramatic change in wind direction was likely due to the storm encountering changes in the surrounding atmospheric conditions or interacting with topographical features as it moved. These factors can influence the steering currents of the storm and lead to abrupt shifts in wind direction.
As the hurricane approaches Long Island, the wind will likely be from the northeast. However, as the eye will be very close to, if not pass over, Long Island, the wind direction will change as the storm approaches, passes over and departs. At times the wind could come from the north, the east, the west or the south. When the storm is departing to the north and northest, the winds will likely be from the southwest.
The eye of a hurricane is the centre of the hurricane in which is a calmness that can fool people into believing the storm was over. Then the eye passes and the wind returned blowing in the reverse direction.

The Coriolis force determines the direction of wind spiraling in a hurricane. In the Northern Hemisphere, winds spiral counterclockwise, while in the Southern Hemisphere, they spiral clockwise.
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
It is believed that El Niño produces wind shear, which is a change in the speed and/or direction of the wind with altitude.
There is little to no wind in the eye of a hurricane because all of the wind is circling around the eye of the hurricane. If there was wind in the middle of a hurricane, then it wouldn't really be a hurricane. It would just be a bunch of wind in one spot.
A hurricane is not made out of wind . . . a hurricane is made from warm air currents and air moisture, and creates highs winds.
A sustained wind speed of 103 mph would earn a hurricane a rating of category 2.
A hurricane is a "named storm". If you do not have a named storm exclusion then your wind coverage will cover hurricane damage.
