Good question.
Answer: The average hurricane moves from east to west due to the tropical trade winds that blow near the equator (where hurricanes start). ... Normal storms, on the other hand, move west to east due to the strong jet stream. Naturally, being nature, hurricanes do not always follow this pattern.
