Storm tracks where it could plausibly go in either direction
Here are a few storms whose tracks are just as plausible as going in the opposite direction. Do you know of any such tracks?

Like half of AUS or SPAC storms given the wind steering flow in that area of the world and that many storms there develop out of the SPCZ and move eastward.

Arlene 2017. I wasn't tracking it back then, so the first time I saw this track I was like "WTF??"
Emily 2017 might also count. A track in the opposite direction (east-to-west) is also plausible, as shown by Sally and even Katrina.

Re: Storm tracks where it could plausibly go in either direction
As much as I love Eta's track, I can't see a storm forming near North Carolina, moving southwest across Florida, moving across Cuba, then strengthening into a hurricane over Central America. Sorry to be picky
A storm that had a similar ending was Kyle in 2002, which could plausibly have formed near North Carolina, then looped its way across the Atlantic. There have been other storms that moved southwest in that part of the Atlantic. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kyle_2002_track.png

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Leslie 2018, I watched her wild track when I was in the beginning stages of Tropical Cyclone tracking.

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted.
Winter posts are focused mainly for Oklahoma & Texas.
Take any of my forecasts with a grain of salt, refer to the NWS, SPC, and NHC for official information
Never say Never with weather! Because ANYTHING is possible!

A sample of TWC coverage I had videotaped via VHS, back in the day, of hurricane Lenny. Sent this to the YouTube channel provider in order to have them upload it online some 14 years ago. In all, I copied more than 100 edited hours worth of TWC hurricane coverage (from the period of 1993-2008), on to DVDS, and mailed them out. Was supposed to get them back following the uploads, but they were never returned.
One day, I’m planning to upload a lot of that footage (and much more) onto my own YT channel.
“Lenny” was a powerful hurricane with a unique track that I found fascinating to observe during November of 1999!
Thank you for refreshing my memory on a truly historic event for the Eastern Caribbean Islands.
