A Storm's Elements

1. Exhaust
Hot air drawn into the atmosphere.

2. Storm Clouds
Spiral in upper atmosphere.

3. Eye
Cool air descends into the 20-mile wide eye, creating a small center of calm weather.

4. Eye Wall
Storm's fiercest winds.

5. Spiraling Winds
In the hurricane's lower realms, air flows in towards the center and whirls upward. These counterclockwise winds gain speed as they approach the eye, like a whirlpool. The narrower the eye, the stronger the wind.
