The diagram in your link is showing a hurricane moving North, the one
in Joe's link has been moving WNW. The dangerous quadrant of this
hurricane is not NE but NNW of the eye.
Please get your basics right. The dangerous quadrant is the one on the
hurricanes "starboard bow" (north of equator). It is defined in
relation to the direction of the hurricane and not to the compass. The
diagram and the text in your link is misleading.

Lets say somehow you managed to get smack dead in the center of

this
eye.

What course would you plot? Why?

Perfect eye huh?

Joe


SW, NE quadrant is the most dangerous.
