The trade winds (northeast or southeast depending on which hemisphere you're in) blow towards the Equator.

easterly trade winds
Trade winds are found in the tropics in the lower section of the troposphere near the Earth's equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the north-east in the Northern Hemisphere and from the south-east in the Southern Hemisphere.

Like many hurricanes, Hurricane Andrew was carried west by the trade winds, which blow toward the west. The trade winds are the main winds of the tropics.

No, the trade winds do not occur on the equator. The trade winds are typically located between 30 degrees North and South of the equator. At the equator, the winds are generally weaker and form the doldrums, also known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone.

Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean are steered by a combination of the trade winds, westerly winds in the mid-latitudes, and the Bermuda High pressure system. These winds help direct the path of the hurricane towards the western Atlantic, increasing the likelihood of impacting Florida.
