The right front quad in this case would be the NW quadrant of the storm since it's moving towards the west.

It's the NE quad if the storm is moving in a northerly direction. In the case of a westward moving storm, the strongest winds would be on the NW quadrant of the storm since that would be the "front" of the storm. The winds on the NW side would get more speed added from the west forward motion of the storm.

Simple way is to think "Front/Right"Quad of storm relative to the direction of travel/eye

Eastern ridge much stronger on the Nam.

Looks like Freeport now “should” miss the brunt of it..
18z nam is moving west of due north from 48-60 maybe even nnw. Heights are much higher to the east
NNE movement afterward, would likely leave significant impacts off shore

path of least resistance ...
Didn’t it passing to the south of Freeport portend more issues (and by issues here I mean potential disaster) for FL/GA/SC/NC? I know it’s not official, but I thought I remember earlier discussing this would be an indicator models may be somewhat awry.....

The NAM is going to go OTS or scrape the outer banks. I think it's too far east.

And....it turns northeast and misses SC....
The 84 hr of Nam in my opinion is always wrong and will likely change.
