So, do I have this right? When Frances came through it wasn't too bad here in Bradenton. When Jeanne came through we thought it was worse. Is that due to the flip/turn/loop? We were always on the south-west side of the storm, which usually isn't bad....but in the loop did that turn the "bad" side around?

Jeanne came a bit closer and was a bit stronger than Francis over West-central FL.
Look at it this way. The storm spins (rotational) and also moves along a given direction (transaltional). Typically, as a storm moves WNW or NW, the strongest winds are in the NE quadrant (rotational speed plus translational speed) and the weakest winds are in the SW quad (rotational speed minus translational speed). If the storm is moving NE, then the strongest quad would be the SE.
