I'm going to catch some crap for doubting the wisdom of a pilot, but
even the smartest of us do what others think weird. There was a poster
who moved his plane to Dothan, Alabama which is 160 miles east of
Mobile. My immediate question was why not fly due west into Texas since
these monsters tend to move north and east.


The movement you state is in no way a "usually." In this case, the trends
were taking the track more to the west, over time.

Once they turn north, hurricanes usually move north and east. The ones
into Mexico and south Texas don't make the turn.
