But you are right...a tropical storm to our west is a lot wetter and windier than a hurricane to our east.

Me I don't like that some at all... besides which they spin anticlockwise up here. You want it to hit EAST of you so you're on the side of the eye where the winds are coming back off the land. If it goes in west of you, you get maximum storm surge and flooding... East of you, you're on the dry side (comparatively speaking, of course.) Hang tight. -- R.
