Eye of the Storm
Eye of the Storm : Natural Disaster. The roughly circular area of comparatively light winds found at the centre of a hurricane and surrounded by the eyewall. Within the eye, the skies are often clear, despite the fact that winds and clouds continue to rage around the edge of the eye in the eyewall. Over the ocean the sea can be treacherous under the eye because high waves are converging. The eye of a hurricane is often obscured by overriding high cloud by the time it reaches Canadian latitudes. The diameter of a hurricane eye can range from 10 to more than 100 kilometres
