Generally speaking, most Hurricanes begin in the same general area off the West Coast of Africa and Travel West across the Atlantic .. we know that they feed off of warm waters - the hotter the better .. two questions: A] Has anyone figured what makes a storm travel either North or South of the Major Caribbean Islands - Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico .. -- .. and B] What makes a storm travel either into the Gulf or turn North and travel along the US East Coast -- is it following the hottest water? or are there other weather patterns [hi/low pressure, winds aloft, etc] that affect the track taken by any specific storm? ..
