The high wind velocities produce the low pressure (remember Bernouli?) which draws air out of the eye, dropping its ambient pressure almost 100 millibars.<br /><br />If you'd like to learn more about hurricanes, go down to Norfolk, VA and duct tape yourself to a tree (use the whole roll), today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4589030274248022508.post-64072997771849859562012-10-29T08:55:20.883-04:002012-10-29T08:55:20.883-04:00It's a low pressure center.

Presumably it rises, if not in the eye then somewhere near it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4589030274248022508.post-69758636689107800282012-10-29T08:41:51.269-04:002012-10-29T08:41:51.269-04:00Convection is unlikely.

It is hard to imagine a parcel of air that has a lower density than low pressure air at the center.<br /><br />There may be lift due to wind, however. Think of what what happened to Dorothy and Toto.Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4589030274248022508.post-72810889857355687092012-10-29T07:56:11.932-04:002012-10-29T07:56:11.932-04:00Is there lift in the eye of the storm?Is there lift in the eye of the storm?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
