1. Exhaust Hot air drawn into the atmosphere. 2. Storm Clouds Spiral in upper atmosphere. 3. Eye Cool air descends into the 20-mile wide eye, creating a small center of calm weather. 4. Eye Wall Storm's fiercest winds. 5. Spiraling Winds In the hurricane's lower realms, air flows in towards the center and whirls upward. These counterclockwise winds gain speed as they approach the eye, like a whirlpool. The narrower the eye, the stronger the wind. | ![]()
