Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - A special plane of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration "NOAA" managed to fly in the eye of Hurricane Ida, before it reached the coast of the US state of Louisiana today.
The video clearly shows the eye of Hurricane Ida , which indicates the intensity of its force. The stronger the hurricane, the clear and large the eye.
Hurricanes rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and the opposite occurs in the southern hemisphere. It should be noted that the eye of a hurricane may range in diameter in some cases to between 20-60 km.
The "wall" of the eye
The video also shows the wall of Hurricane Ida, which is the most troubled area of the cyclone; It is the area that surrounds the eye of the hurricane and has the strongest and fiercest winds, and there are overcast clouds, from which heavy rains fall, and there are rising air currents.
Gusts may reach 225-360 km / h in a violent storm, and strong winds lead to turbulence of the sea and crash of high waves that may reach a height of six meters or more, destroying homes, destroying facilities, uprooting trees, telephone and electricity poles, killing people and disrupting life.
