Re: Ivan Water Vapor Pics

Do hurricanes create they're own enviroment? Yes and really NO. They can improve the outflow and different aspects to the storm, but they dont make them go 1 way or another. Even with a storm like this or in past years such as floyd,,,a trough or other dynamics in the atmosphere will still cause a hurricane to move in the direction of the flow infront of the mid level system or troughiness. So to answer your question really,,,,,,,NO they dont change the path if a they are like cat 4 or 5.
