The eye is in the center of the cyclone and can vary in size, from 10 kilometers to 100 kilometers, depending on the severity of the storm. Do not be fooled by the eye! Due to the least amount of air pressure in the eye, it produces clear weather with light wind, no clouds, no rain and some sunshine. But, the storm is not over yet. This is only the middle of the storm. Depending on the wind gusts, the eye may pass in a few minutes or in a few hours. You are always advised to stay indoors during the passing of the eye of the storm, because the cyclone will continue. Always listen for the official word that the cyclone has passed and when it is safe to leave your shelter. When going outside, be aware of fallen powerlines, debris and damage left behind after the cyclone. |
