The changes from high winds and rain to calm with broken clouds and again to high winds, in a short period, are very dramatic to one located in the path of the eye. The period of calm may last 30 minutes before the winds start to blow from the opposite direction.  1, record 1, English, - eye%20of%20hurricane

La particularité la plus curieuse (de l'ouragan), c'est le fameux «œil», ce centre circulaire autour duquel les vents en spirale mènent leur sarabande effrénée. Il constitue une zone de calme, dont le diamètre varie de 15 à 30 kilomètres. La mer y est relativement lisse, le ciel bleu et sans nuages.  1, record 1, French, - %26oelig%3Bil%20de%20l%27ouragan
