Once you get into the eye of the hurricane you’re in a weird calm zone. I’ve heard stories of people going outside and having blue skies above them, while all around are walls of clouds. The winds in the eye wall are definitely the most damaging winds of a hurricane. The difference between the eye and the eye wall couldn’t be more pronounced.
