One other jarring part about being under the eye of a hurricane is that after the eye passes, the wind is blowing in the opposite direction from before the eye. This can blow debris back over where people were hiding, and it means anyone who was hiding must relocate to the opposite side of the structure to shield them from the reversed wind
@@Philip-qq7qlthe way god made the earth, this happens naturally all the time. Sometimes if a storm stops abruptly it was probably god interfering but if it calms down slow and natural then it like just happened on its own, no divine interference. So it really depends
I live in Florida and I've twice been in the eye of a hurricane. And even though one shouldn't, I briefly went outside to experience it. It was extremely still and quiet, and surprisingly warm. I remember a slightly golden hue to the sky. Beautiful, but eerie.
@alcapuno no. We can approximate some types of mud as a "very viscous liquid" and some equations for liquids work fairly well for fine sand under certain conditions, but solids are not liquids
@@dhawthorne1634 A neutral one is. There is a bit more technicalities with charge-biased ones mainly because constant force on each individual molecule shifts the way a fluid behaves overall
@alcapuno You can get a fluid to be very close to a solid. For example, the Pitch drop experiment, a 90 year experiment that shows that pitch is a very viscous fluid.
An older friend told me they used to have cyclone parties, stay inside partying while the storm raged, run outside for the eye, then back inside for the other side. Sounded like fun, but I've always just avoided being in bad storms.
Well it would be even scarier to actually be caught up in the eye of the hurricane when it forms when you're out at sea because if the hurricane is going to take more time to get to land then your boat is going to have fuel left, and/or is moving faster than your boat is able to catch up then you're screwed, but if not my advice is if you're caught up in the situation where the hurricane actually is heading towards the land slower than your boat is able to nearly stay in the center of the hurricane constantly, and the hurricane is going towards land before all the fuel inside your boat runs out you're going to have to use your boat to follow the direction the hurricane is headed until it weakens enough to the point where it's safe to leave the hurricane's eye when the wind speed of the hurricane's eye wall calms down enough, and you'll know when it's safe to leave the eye of the hurricane because has a hurricane weakens its eye becomes less, and less flushed out meaning it starts to rain within the eye of the hurricane, and once that happens you'll know the hurricane is weakening, and, so that's why you'll know when it's time to take the chance to leave the eye of the hurricane, and go into the eye wall itself to get out of the hurricane just saying! 😨😨😨😨😨😨
@@DavidMuri-lm5vy, typically, tropical cyclones don't form quickly, so chances are that you'd have plenty of time to get to safe harbor before a storm comes through your patch of ocean. That said, I was living in League City, Texas when Tropical Storm Allison came ashore on the west end of Galveston Island in June, 2001. When I went out to University of Houston, Clear Lake that morning, the Hational Hurricane Center reported that there was a disorganized area of disturbed weather off the upper Texas coast, but they weren't expecting much development before it made landfall and fell apart. It didn't. By 2 PM, I was driving home from school and drove through one of the most intense downpours I've ever driven through. The street I lived on was almost completely flooded. And that's when I learned that the "disorganized area of disturbed weather off the upper Texas coast" had beaten all the expectations, organized itself, and came ashore about the same time as I was making my way up the driveway. So, yes, it can happen . . . but if you follow the tropical weather forecasts from the country you live in, you should be able to stay safe.
The one thing you should ALWAYS remember. Be hesitant when there's a violent storm and it suddenly calms down. Weather is fickle and can easily turn from beautiful back to cruel
The most exciting scene from 'The Day After Tommorrow' film was when the characters experienced the terror of the eye of the super blizzard bringing super cold air from the highest layers of the atmosphere to the ground, causing things to freeze dangerously.
I remember being stationed at Kadena AB when a typhoon decided to come park over the island. For those of you who don't know, Okinawa is 67 miles from the northernmost to the southernmost point. I got a satellite picture of Okinawa outlined inside the center of the eye -- which was 70 miles across. Okinawa stayed centered in that eye for 24 hours before the upper level steering currents weakened and allowed the typhoon to move off to the colder waters of the Northwest Pacific. It's been nearly 30 years since the typhoon (the name of which I can't remember), but I do remember looking out the window and seeing the guy across the street -- who worked in the weather shop, by the way -- barbecuing on his front step.
I remember when Hurricane Sandy hit where I lived, it started getting bad when I was at my neighbor’s house across the street, and had to stay over due to the hail and whatnot, and once we were over the eye, I managed to run back home before it got bad again.
me in Hong Kong haven't been in the eye since 1979. I haven't seen the eye of hurrcine since my birth even not a hole to the sky and I can only see it in internet😢. good days here for me. I am allowed to see the eye without airplane in 2024🥳😄
Yeah, I'll take just about any other natural disaster over a hurricane or Tsunami. The only thing I'd consider worse is a volcanic explosion on the scale of Saint Helen's, Pompeii, Krakatoa and Yellowstone. I'll say, you and the Baltics do get some nasty storms off your coast and when one gets blown in, the flooding is just about as bad, they just don't have anywhere near the windspeed.
@@dhawthorne1634 I don't know what you're talking about. The worst natural disasters of my lifetime are drought and flooding. Both caused by irresponsible water management so we only have our government to blame.
0:00 They even made the wind blow in the other direction, which is clever because after the eye, the wind will go in the opposite direction as before the eye, or if the eye misses you, the wind will go in one direction, then during the most severe point it will go perpendicular to the direction before, then when it starts to weaken it will go opposite the original direction
Another reason the eye might be so calm is that it’s close to the center of rotation, and when something spins, the middle moves slower than the rim, but with hurricanes this is usually the opposite, where the fastest winds are found near the center, the outside is usually pretty gentle, however, this is because all the air in the hurricane wants to move into the center, but as it migrates to the center of the hurricane, the Coriolis effect causes the air to drift to the right if it’s in the northern hemisphere or to the left if it’s in the southern hemisphere, causing it to miss its target, the air keeps trying to pull in though so at its closest point it begins to curve in the direction that the target is now, but centrifugal forces will cause it to not get any closer so instead it gets flung away from the center, so it makes an attempt again, but this time in addition to the Coriolis effect, it now has some rotational momentum making it miss even further, this repeats until it is in a stable cycle with air trying to pull into low pressure in the middle and centrifugal forces pushing it outward which causes the air to “orbit” the center and it basically is an orbit, the only difference between this and planets orbiting a star is with planets orbiting a star the centripetal force is gravity, where in hurricanes it’s the low pressure in the eye, and with planets, the closer a planet is to its star, the faster it has to spin around the star to remain stable, the same applies for hurricanes, but the air in the eye is where it wants to be, so the only rotation in the eye would be air dragged along by the eyewall, but it’s so close to the center that everything is orbiting that the same rpm of the air has lower windspeed. And actually, because the eye is has the lowest pressure in the hurricane, when in the eye, most of the effects of the storm cease temporarily except for one, storm surge, because storm surge is caused by the low pressure and the eye has the lowest pressure in the storm, storm surge is at its worst when in the eye
Well technically no because Storm surges caused by hurricanes happen because as cold low pressure air is going into the eye it starts spiraling downward into the eye, and the pressure becomes, so high that it heats up, and absorbs moisture from the water in the air which creates the storm surge near the area where the hurricane eye ends, and the eye wall begins, so in reality if you were inside of a hurricane that's actually is powerful enough, so that it's eye forms, and you were on a boat you would see that what's happening is that when you're in the center of the eye of the hurricane, and you looked around you you'd start seeing that the water level around the eye of the hurricane that you're in is rising mean the storm surges actually adds worse in the narrow strip of are between the innermost part of the eye wall and the outermost part of the hurricane's eye, So what you're saying is parshaly incorrect. 😅😅😅😅😅😅
@@DavidMuri-lm5vy Storm surge is caused by low pressure, and in fact if you watch a video of a hurricane and from inside the eye, you will notice that the storm surge doesn’t cease during the eye
Most notable record I can remember are some sedimentary ones that indicate that a plain has flooded or another one that indicates there was a “tsunami-like-wave” that also flooded the plain. With other evidencies, maybe there is a way to extrapolate that a storm was by, but this isn’t my area of expertise in geology
There are a few ways I can think of for how a single, major hurricane could end up in the geological record. 1. Sediments being washed onto land in a particular pattern could end up as a distinct and identifiable feature, a thin layer, in a sedimentary column. 2. Trees breaking and falling over could end up being preserved as fossils, with time even petrified, and keep evidence of being knocked over by strong wind. 3. In a silty or sandy area, patterns of wind-blown sediment could end up being preserved and possibly be identifiable as a hurricane event thousands to hundreds of thousands of years later.

“Since, in a lot of ways, air acts like a fluid.” Air *IS* a fluid. In scientific/engineering, there are three primary states of matter. Solid, *LIQUID*, and _gas_. Both liquid and gas are “fluid”. Hence the term “fluid dynamics”. Or when referring to some substances at extremes of temperature and/or pressure, they might be called a “superfluid” because they act in ways unlike either liquid or gas. (The atmosphere of Venus is this way - at the cloud tops, it’s a conventional gas like our atmosphere. But as you get close to the surface, the pressure is such that it *should* be a liquid; but because of the high temperature, it remains still gas-like, while having some liquid properties - it’s a superfluid. There is no direct boundary, either. Unlike the very obvious boundary on Earth between, say, the ocean and the air; on Venus, the atmosphere just gradually gets denser, until it’s a superfluid, with no obvious boundary layer.)
I hear this sort of thing often from science communicators where a word has a different meaning in day to day life. Most people conflate fluid with liquid. It's better to be technically wrong, but by the time people understand that they know what you mean, than to confuse those who are just starting out in a subject
I only been in the eye of a storm once while driving on the highway for a holiday with family. We had to pull over on the shoulder because the wind was too strong, but then 30 min later it just went super calm, yet you could see darkness all around you. Back then my child brain thought it was ok to keep driving but my parents knew better and we waited it out - even though other cars around us were beginning to drive again.
It's not that sudden, it's more like a gradual fading in and out. And living in Florida has brought the unique circumstances of living through multiple hurricanes and finding myself in the eye.
so storms above Cat5 aren't just faster, more violent, and more destructive; they're also quieter with a much longer pause as you pass through the eye. An end of the world storm like so many companies wanted to make movies about would hit as insane winds hitting one direction and shreading everything people had to hide under then, after several days of silence, equally strong winds hit from the other direction levelling anything left standing.
I was on my way home to a neighborhood in League City, Texas from University of Houston, Clear Lake when I encountered a deluge. I'd been watching the tropical weather forecasts on the NHC site. They said there was "an area of disturbed weather off the upper Texas coast" when I left for UHCL that morning. By 2 PM, the "area of disturbed weather" had become Tropical Storm Allison, dropping about a foot of rain in the first hour. So, yeah -- they can be sneaky buggers!
It's funny. I went outside in the middle of hurricane sandy when it was in NJ. Lots wind for a while, it settle down and just felt super eerie (this was at night, not day, btw), and then about half an hour to an hour later, the winds again.
A great man once said: "The eye is not just the window to the soul. It is the key to unlocking your greatness. It is the key, because when you see it, you will be it."
And how would you get surprised by the upcoming other side of the hurricane? I mean, you are surrounded by a giant cloud wall on all sides that should make it pretty obvious what will happen next?
You have no concept of scale. The smallest eyes are 20 miles wide, regularly reaching up to 40 miles. Even 20 years ago there was no real path prediction. Reports were "it looks like it's headed for the gulph"; followed by "its likely to make landfall near New Orleans around mid-day or early evening". With power knocked out, you had no idea how close you were to the eye. If it passed over you, you could easily think that you had made it through the leading edge and the storm had passed.
Of course the water goes down and the air goes up. That’s where the energy is being released- gravity pulls water down into the drain, while warm air gets pulled up due to convection, and because it can’t reality go down and into the ground.
Air acts like a fluid because it _is_ a fluid. The only difference between our atmosphere and the water in a hypothetical RGB jacuzzi tub is the phase of the fluid: gas vs liquid.
Waking up in the morning, you see the beautiful weather, a clear sky and the sun shining with an embracing warmth from above. So you quickly get out of bed to get your mail and sit on your porch chair looking through your mail, yelling for your wife to get you a nice cup of warm coffee. Then, just as your wife opens the door to give you your hot cup of Joe, you are both swept away by 150 mph (250 kmh) winds. Hurling your bodies around like twigs, and drenching your wife in hot coffee... All because you never realized you woke up just as you were in the eye of a hurricane.
The air is rising because it is warm , making it less dense than air higher in the atmosphere which has expanded and cooled off. It’s what’s fuelling the hurricane too, as when the air rises and cools, the water condenses and that’s what forms the massive clouds. This condensation releases energy stored by the water vapour, allowing more uplift to occur. It’s why hurricanes build over warm seas and why they decline once hitting land; no warm moist air for uplift. Also, despite air sinking in the eye, suppressing cloud formation, it’s the lowest pressure area of the hurricane because the air is constantly getting drawn out by the swirling

@@sjdpfisvrj Yeah, the conditions seemed to be just right for a slab avalanche to fall on top of the base they made at the bottom of the hill, due to high winds breaking off the slabs of snow higher up. They probably got extreme hypothermia and underwent paradoxical undressing (stripped their clothes because of the vasomotor symptoms). Avalanches are known to cause broken bones. The same force would also probably break any older equipment they were using, which could contain sources of radiation. If they used any older glow in the dark paint for their equipment, it could also contain trace amounts of radiation. As for the missing eyes, tongue and such, most likely scavengers that got to the bodies first. A very violent tragedy that could have been prevented if they had stayed behind with their friend who didn't want to go due to the weather conditions and the time of year. I think he also fell ill before the trip (super lucky in hindsight).

And a few videos from Hurricane Hunter planes of various storms too!
“Since, in a lot of ways, air acts like a fluid.” Air *IS* a fluid. In scientific/engineering, there are three primary states of matter. Solid, *LIQUID*, and _gas_. Both liquid and gas are “fluid”. Hence the term “fluid dynamics”. Or when referring to some substances at extremes of temperature and/or pressure, they might be called a “superfluid” because they act in ways unlike either liquid or gas. (The atmosphere of Venus is this way - at the cloud tops, it’s a conventional gas like our atmosphere. But as you get close to the surface, the pressure is such that it *should* be a liquid; but because of the high temperature, it remains still gas-like, while having some liquid properties - it’s a superfluid. There is no direct boundary, either. Unlike the very obvious boundary on Earth between, say, the ocean and the air; on Venus, the atmosphere just gradually gets denser, until it’s a superfluid, with no obvious boundary layer.)
Supercritical, not superfluid
@@user-xj8wy4uu1q Supercritical fluids are generally called “superfluid”
I hear this sort of thing often from science communicators where a word has a different meaning in day to day life. Most people conflate fluid with liquid. It's better to be technically wrong, but by the time people understand that they know what you mean, than to confuse those who are just starting out in a subject

Other people: "Ah, understandable."
Me, with trypophobia: "MYEYESAAAAAAA"
You look up, beautiful sky’s, with the sun shining down on you. Look around you, 90+ MPH winds surrounding you.
Eye am the storm that is approaching.
I only been in the eye of a storm once while driving on the highway for a holiday with family. We had to pull over on the shoulder because the wind was too strong, but then 30 min later it just went super calm, yet you could see darkness all around you. Back then my child brain thought it was ok to keep driving but my parents knew better and we waited it out - even though other cars around us were beginning to drive again.
It's not that sudden, it's more like a gradual fading in and out. And living in Florida has brought the unique circumstances of living through multiple hurricanes and finding myself in the eye.
In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet...for just a moment
Anyone else watching this as Beryl is intensifying in the Atlantic basin right now?
I've actually been through the eye of a hurricane before!
Cool video! Nice job with animation!
Never immediately go outside when the sun comes out 'after' a hurricane, and never go into where the ocean was if it starts to recede.
Hurricane likes to trick you with a false sense of security, and then strike again just to dunk on you.
I’ve been in Hurricane Ian, and it’s eye. I can now say I’ve survived ef3 tornado wind speeds!
fun fact: circle pits at metal/hardcore shows also have an eye
Fortnite storm lore:

so storms above Cat5 aren't just faster, more violent, and more destructive; they're also quieter with a much longer pause as you pass through the eye. An end of the world storm like so many companies wanted to make movies about would hit as insane winds hitting one direction and shreading everything people had to hide under then, after several days of silence, equally strong winds hit from the other direction levelling anything left standing.
I've lived through a lot of hurricanes most resent was hurricane Michael which was the scariest one by far.
"can hit you without warning"
Ahh yes, those really subtle sneaky hurricanes are always playing hide and seek with people
I was on my way home to a neighborhood in League City, Texas from University of Houston, Clear Lake when I encountered a deluge. I'd been watching the tropical weather forecasts on the NHC site. They said there was "an area of disturbed weather off the upper Texas coast" when I left for UHCL that morning. By 2 PM, the "area of disturbed weather" had become Tropical Storm Allison, dropping about a foot of rain in the first hour.
So, yeah -- they can be sneaky buggers!
I watched this, then had a dream about being in the eye of a hurricane and my mom not caring “MOM WE ARE IN THE EYE” help 😭
That’s my school!! FIU is amazing for anyone interested in attending
"Lets start in the bath tub, hi im kate!" You had me from "kate"❤
I really like tracking storms especially at Typhoon Seasons
I see Otis was used as an example and was correctly labelled as a C5, thank you!
Great video :)
It's funny. I went outside in the middle of hurricane sandy when it was in NJ. Lots wind for a while, it settle down and just felt super eerie (this was at night, not day, btw), and then about half an hour to an hour later, the winds again.
A great man once said: "The eye is not just the window to the soul. It is the key to unlocking your greatness. It is the key, because when you see it, you will be it."
*”In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet”*
I remember this from the episode of Avatar the last Airbender: “The Storm”
Very great explanation!
0:00 ALL THE TIME!!
Nice.
The devil said, "you cannot outrun the storm"
I replied, "nuh uh I got shockwaves"
And how would you get surprised by the upcoming other side of the hurricane? I mean, you are surrounded by a giant cloud wall on all sides that should make it pretty obvious what will happen next?
You have no concept of scale. The smallest eyes are 20 miles wide, regularly reaching up to 40 miles. Even 20 years ago there was no real path prediction. Reports were "it looks like it's headed for the gulph"; followed by "its likely to make landfall near New Orleans around mid-day or early evening".
With power knocked out, you had no idea how close you were to the eye. If it passed over you, you could easily think that you had made it through the leading edge and the storm had passed.
Wait, so "that" film (forgot the name) lied to us when they pictured the eyed as the coldest part?
Day after tomorrow
Yes
I imagine a guy trying to follow the eye witn their car to not get hit😂
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for explaining the eye!
Of course the water goes down and the air goes up. That’s where the energy is being released- gravity pulls water down into the drain, while warm air gets pulled up due to convection, and because it can’t reality go down and into the ground.
Air acts like a fluid because it _is_ a fluid. The only difference between our atmosphere and the water in a hypothetical RGB jacuzzi tub is the phase of the fluid: gas vs liquid.
It would be fascinating to follow the eye and see as the eye walls collapse.
Thank you.
This 4mins video made me more smarter than the teachers 2h teaching

“INSIDE OF THE EYE OF THE HURRICANE THERE IS WATER…”
Waking up in the morning, you see the beautiful weather, a clear sky and the sun shining with an embracing warmth from above. So you quickly get out of bed to get your mail and sit on your porch chair looking through your mail, yelling for your wife to get you a nice cup of warm coffee. Then, just as your wife opens the door to give you your hot cup of Joe, you are both swept away by 150 mph (250 kmh) winds. Hurling your bodies around like twigs, and drenching your wife in hot coffee... All because you never realized you woke up just as you were in the eye of a hurricane.
I thought the thumbnail was an airbender with a beard for a solid 5 seconds before I saw what channel this video was from. :D
i two:)
I mean, they need an eye to see.
🤦♂️
@@anasbouallagui9845you need humour to get a joke
The air is rising because it is warm , making it less dense than air higher in the atmosphere which has expanded and cooled off. It’s what’s fuelling the hurricane too, as when the air rises and cools, the water condenses and that’s what forms the massive clouds. This condensation releases energy stored by the water vapour, allowing more uplift to occur. It’s why hurricanes build over warm seas and why they decline once hitting land; no warm moist air for uplift.
Also, despite air sinking in the eye, suppressing cloud formation, it’s the lowest pressure area of the hurricane because the air is constantly getting drawn out by the swirling
So theoretically if you could make something that is fast enough and in sync with the eyes movements could you survive a hurricane just by doing that
AIR IS A FLUID GODDAMN
I was hoping, they'll explain the instant freezing scene of Hurricane eye in movie "Day after Tomorrow" !
But they didn't 😐
If you know please explain .... It's real or an exaggeration ?
Not real at all! Hurricanes can not survive in cold anyway!
I know the answer but another good hurricane explainer video would be why are winds often much worse on one side of a hurricane?
its like a storm border in video games
Today's Fact: The 'Dyatlov Pass Incident' in 1959 involved the mysterious deaths of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains of Russia, with no clear explanation for their demise.
There may have been no clear explanation for a long time but I believe the mystery has been solved for quite some time.
We know
Nothing mysterious. The current most likely explanation is an avalanche.
Actually it was solved by the movie Frozen. It was an avalanche.
@@sjdpfisvrj Yeah, the conditions seemed to be just right for a slab avalanche to fall on top of the base they made at the bottom of the hill, due to high winds breaking off the slabs of snow higher up. They probably got extreme hypothermia and underwent paradoxical undressing (stripped their clothes because of the vasomotor symptoms). Avalanches are known to cause broken bones. The same force would also probably break any older equipment they were using, which could contain sources of radiation. If they used any older glow in the dark paint for their equipment, it could also contain trace amounts of radiation. As for the missing eyes, tongue and such, most likely scavengers that got to the bodies first. A very violent tragedy that could have been prevented if they had stayed behind with their friend who didn't want to go due to the weather conditions and the time of year. I think he also fell ill before the trip (super lucky in hindsight).
If the air swirls up rather than down, shouldn't an upside down cone be formed?
just went through Renal
This is cool
Very good information, very easy to understand! 233k views in 3 weeks I hope it reaches a million during this year Hurricane season
Strong enough tornadoes have also been seen with eyes that even showed up on radar!
does the coriolis effect take part in it?
*_IN THE EYE OF A HURRICANE THERE IS QUIIIIET-_*
Don't just show a small note when you say Degree which scale you use. Say out loud if it's Kelvin , Celsius, Fahrenheit, Rankine, and/or Newton ... because those 20 degrees make HUGE difference, or barely noticeable, depending on scale.
Were in the Philippines we experience 20 plus typhoons 🌀 each year... Most pf us hope storm eyes wont land on us .
Ni- 11 bagyo lang pumasok sa PAR (9 tropical cyclones less) noong nakaraang taon. Wala po tayong magagawa kundi maghanda at/o magdasal kase kada taon po ay kahit ≥1 diyan ay makapaminsala.
Ah, Florida elementary school science class flashbacks. Next video will be about the Everglades and Florida fauna/flora.
I thought you would mention laputa reference
Proud to be an FIU GOLDEN PANTHER!!! 💛💙🐾 #PawsUp! 🥰
NO. it IS a fluid. it's not a liquid.
I was in the eye of hurricane zedda
In the eye of a hurricane there is quiet
For the just a moment
A yellow sky
In the eye of the hurricane there is quite…. For just a moment
So it's just a bigger form of a tornado!❤
‘’ in the eye of the hurricane there is quiet mm’
lol
Almost as if the size of the central hole is directly correlated to the energy that seems invisible 🧐
Shocked science is this a thing in FL
Air doesn't just act like a fluid, it literally is a fluid. All gases and liquids are fluids.
There are cautionary tales of the eyes of cyclones in Mauritius. How housewives went out to hang clothes thinking the cyclone had gone away
