A hurricane can be 500 miles wide with winds over 150 miles per hour - and right in the middle of all of it, there's a patch of calm sky with no wind at all.
Here's how that works.
In this video, we break down exactly how hurricanes form, what the three main parts are, why storm surge is deadlier than the wind, and what happens when a hurricane finally hits land and loses its fuel.
What you'll learn:
- What starts a hurricane (it's all about warm ocean water)
- The difference between the eye, the eye wall, and the rain bands
- Why storm surge kills more people than wind
- Why the same storm has three different names around the world
- The word's origin, retired hurricane names, and the biggest hurricane ever recorded
