After seeing so many posts, I feel I have to respond... It’s very clear you’ve taken this as your own personal battle tonight , and that’s cool

I’m not sure exactly where this started earlier in the thread....

The Northeast quadrant of tropical storms and hurricanes are typically the first to come together and hold together and typically always strongest here in the northern Atlantic. It is what it is. It’s physics and thermodynamics, and it typically holds serve.

Yes, based on graphic you provided, if a perfectly formed and perfectly symmetric hurricane hit at the right direction and angle, then another quadrant may produce a more net positive and stronger set of winds based on the hurricane’s forward direction and speed at the time.

But systems aren’t usually perfect. And east side of hurricane here is overwhelmingly the ‘worst’ side. And subsequently the NE is overwhelmingly the strongest and most solid quadrant.
