Yes...Luis is right. Tornadoes are always a possibility around hurricanes/TS.

Sure is an oddity with Claudette... The strongest thunderstorms being in the western side of the center, rather than the northeastern portion.

Goes to show that the key word is "usually" in the phrase, "the worse weather is usually north and east of the center."
