Hurricanes spin around a low-pressure center known as the âeye.â Sinking air makes this 20- to 30-mile-wide (32- to 48-kilometer-wide) area notoriously calm. But the eye is surrounded by a circular âeye wallâ that hosts the stormâs strongest winds and rain. These storms bring destruction ashore in many different ways.When a hurricane makes landfall it often produces a devastating storm surge that can reach 20 feet (6 meters) high and extend nearly 100 miles (161 kilometers).
