question 9

Multiple Choice

Why is storm damage of a westward-moving hurricane generally less on the south side of the eye?

• A) It isn't. The storm surge is highest right under the eye where the atmospheric pressure is lowest.
• B) It isn't. The hurricane winds are highest both just north and just south of the eye, less farther away.
• C) The winds are moving offshore there, so the waves are smaller. The storm surge is north of the eye.
• D) The winds are moving offshore there rather than onshore, so the debris travels over open water rather than colliding with buildings.
• E) Winds in the left-front quadrant point most directly at the shore. They cause the greatest surge and wind effects.
