This morning it's a little more westerly. It can move in any direction based on the winds. And so that concerns us," Ms Blanco said.

Am I reading that right? Does she think that the wind is what pushes the hurricane in a given direction?

Yes, she said that. I did a double take at the TV in the distance to make sure I wasn't hearing things. I even got a vid of it.

For those who don't live in hurricane alley, what does influence what way a hurricane moves? Gulf Stream? Heated waters? I know the latter can strengthen them.

I’ll be damned. I thought all those people calling her a moron were exaggerating.
