     writes:

    Also, this was not a "hurricane" any more .. i.e. rotating. It was in a
    straight track, fairly localized heawy weather, which just blows over.

    i am sorry but now for sure you are wrong - it was a depression - ALL
    weather systems (except for tropical waves which are close to the equator and dont
    have a strong coriolis force) are rotating - depressions/storms/hurricanes
    in a counterclockwise way and anticyclones in a clockwise way (in the northern
    hemisphere of course)
     
    A Hurricane is just a tropical depression with very very strong winds pre
    that it was a Tropical Storm and pre that a Tropical Depression over here in
    the UK we dont name depressions with hurricane force winds we just call them
    intense depressions.
