Hurricane Katrina: east side, west side

wrote:

What I've never understood is why the [what is it?] east
side of a hurricane is worse than it's west side.

Because, in the northern hemisphere, tropical cyclones rotate
counter-clockwise, and the storm's forward motion adds to the wind speed
on the right (east) side and subtracts from that on the left.
