I know this is probably a silly question- when a storm enters from the east, the area with the most intensity is considered to be the right side. When a storm is predicted to make landfall from the west, does the same still ring true- that the right side will have the most intensity? Or is it the left?

My dad is in Cape Coral and I am highly concerned for him.




Right-front quadrant will be the front and right of the cyclone's direction, no matter what direction it comes from. So, coming from the west, south of the center would have highest surge and wind, usually.
