9. Which of the following is a POOR tactic in the northern hemisphere when a low pressure system traveling east is forecast ?
head for the north side of the system
Or
head for the south side of the system
Northern hemisphere, storms rotate counter clockwise. Storms in latitude 30-60 usually travel eastward. In this situation, the navigable side is the north side, the dangerous side is the south side. The  POOR tactic is to head for the south side. The appropriate tactic would be to head for the north side of the system. This is oppose the "correct answer". 😕
