The eye of the storm is between 3.2 kilometres in diameter to 320 kilometres but are usually about 48 kms. The weather around the eye is calm but the weather is mad maybe even crazy, around the eye. Do not even try to go near the eye because you're probably going to die  because of the strong winds, rain and waves around the eye.

Hurricanes can be found in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Did you know that hurricanes can be tracked by by weather satellites and radars closer to land. Hurricanes  has been around for hundreds of years and every city it hit it killed a lot of people and caused a lot of damage.
