Yea, and repelling happens a lot too... Dean and Ivan both somewhat 'bounced' off Jamaica (Ivan moreso).
I know when you study waves, you find that the wave (water, sound, light, etc) will bend towards the side where it is moving slower, but I have no idea if this type of situation can apply to something completely different like a hurricane encountering land.
