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.
What else can I help you with?
If the wind from a hurricane is blowing in your face which way is the hurricane located?
If the wind is blowing in you face, then the center of the hurricane is to your right.
How does the amount of wind affect hurricane formation-?
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.
Why the drastic change in wind direction with hurricane Hugo?
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.
What will the wind direction of Hurricane Irene be when it reaches Long Island New York?
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.
What are the band of storms lining the center of a hurricane?
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.

What is the name of the force that determines which way the wind will spiral in a hurricane?
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.
How fast do the wind have to be a hurricane?
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
What conditions are believed to be caused by el nino and effectively weakens hurricane in the atlantic ocean?
It is believed that El Niño produces wind shear, which is a change in the speed and/or direction of the wind with altitude.
Why is there little to no wind in the eye of a hurricane?
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.
Is a hurricane made out of wind?
A hurricane is not made out of wind . . . a hurricane is made from warm air currents and air moisture, and creates highs winds.
When a hurricane has wind speeds of 103 mph What category storm is it?
A sustained wind speed of 103 mph would earn a hurricane a rating of category 2.
What is the difference between wind coverage and hurricane coverage?
A hurricane is a "named storm". If you do not have a named storm exclusion then your wind coverage will cover hurricane damage.
