The eye of a hurricane is still because as something rotates inertia will tend to make it more out ins a straight line, the faster it rotates and the smaller the circle it rotates in, the stronger this tendency. In hurricane the winds speed up as the spiral inwards until they are moving too fast for the low pressure at the center to pull them in further.
