  1. The safe spot is called the eye


  2. Then center of the storm , the Eye, is the safest place.  But in order to get there you have to pass thru the rest of the storm and it's eyewall, the worst part of the storm!

  3. What the safe spot in a hurricane?

    If you stuck in the ocean and one hit.

    "THE EYE OF THE STORM IS THE SAFEST SPOT OR REGION IN A HURRICANE"

    Basically it is in the middle of the storm which is known as the eye of the storm. If you move away from the eye of the storm - you will be in serious deep, deep trouble!!! Guarantee!! I live through many Storms in my country of origin. Storms are also known as Hurricanes, Cyclones and Typhoons depending where are you in the planet.

    Eye and inner core of the storm is a strong tropical cyclone will harbour an area of sinking air at the centre of circulation. If this area is strong enough, it can develop into an eye. Weather in the eye is normally calm and free of clouds, although the sea may be extremely violent. The eye is normally circular in shape, and may range in size from 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) to 370 kilometres (230 mi) in diameter. Intense, mature tropical cyclones can sometimes exhibit an inward curving of the eye wall’s top, making it resemble a football stadium; this phenomenon is thus sometimes referred to as the stadium effect.

    There are other features that either surround the eye, or cover it. The central dense overcast is the concentrated area of strong thunderstorm activity near the centre of a tropical cyclone; in weaker tropical cyclones, the CDO may cover the centre completely. The eye wall is a circle of strong thunderstorms that surrounds the eye; here is where the greatest wind speeds are found, where clouds reach the highest, and precipitation is the heaviest. The heaviest wind damage occurs where a tropical cyclone's eye wall passes over land. Eye wall replacement cycles occur naturally in intense tropical cyclones. When cyclones reach peak intensity they usually have an eye wall and radius of maximum winds that contract to a very small size, around 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to 25 kilometres (16 mi). Outer rain bands can organize into an outer ring of thunderstorms that slowly moves inward and robs the inner eye wall of its needed moisture and angular momentum. When the inner eye wall weakens, the tropical cyclone weakens (in other words, the maximum sustained winds weaken and the central pressure rises.) The outer eye wall replaces the inner one completely at the end of the cycle. The storm can be of the same intensity as it was previously or even stronger after the eye wall replacement cycle finishes. The storm may strengthen again as it builds a new outer ring for the next eye wall replacement.

    The most famous and recent storm that everyone will remember in the USA is the notorious Hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans basically put a city into chaos and anarchy.

    A tropical cyclone is a storm system characterized by a low pressure centre and numerous thunderstorms that produce strong winds and flooding rain. A tropical cyclone feeds on heat released when moist air rises, resulting in condensation of water vapour contained in the moist air. They are fuelled by a different heat mechanism than other cyclonic windstorms such as nor'easters, European windstorms, and polar lows, leading to their classification as "warm core" storm systems.

    Hurricane originally derived from the word huracán from the Caribbean Taino Amerindian language (and first adopted into Spanish), hurricane most commonly denotes a tropical cyclone. The term is most often used for cyclones occurring in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans.

    The term "tropical" refers to both the geographic origin of these systems, which form almost exclusively in tropical regions of the globe, and their formation in Maritime Tropical air masses.

    The term "cyclone" refers to such storms' cyclonic nature, with counter-clockwise rotation in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise rotation in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on their location and strength, tropical cyclones are referred to by other names, such as hurricane, typhoon, tropical storm, cyclonic storm, tropical depression and simply cyclone.

  4. actually the center called the eye... its very calm and sunny.

  5. The eye.
