"you can see how the winds are being dissected, and channeled, and otherwise disturbed substantially, and being disturbed as high as 700hPa, which, is a bit more than your not affected by the mountains.."
700 hPa is roughly the equivalent of 10,000-feet, so of course the mountains have an effect - low-level winds can hardly flow through them, can they? However, it's about a quarter of the height of your typical hurricane which extends up to the tropopause.
