"FWIW, a person does NOT want to be on the Northeast side of a hurricane because of it's counter-clockwise motion. The safe side, and that's a relative term, is West of the eye of circulation and obviously the further the better. I'd rather be 100 miles West of the eye than to be 150 miles Norhtheast of it......hope that helps!"

This does help. Based on the latest projected path, I guess if Rita wobbles a little more east, then Conroe could find itself in the northeast side of trouble. Thanks. - OB1

I think it safe to assume that the front right side of the cane, relative to its direction of travel, is normally the strongest quadrant. If the cane is moving north, that makes it the NE quadrant. 'Course they usually move somewhere between W and NE.
