Is the eye athe worst part of a tornado?
Yes, the eye of a tornado is not the most dangerous part; in fact, it is one of the calmest areas within the storm. The eye is a relatively calm, clear center found at the core of a tornado. It is surrounded by the eyewall, which is the most intense and violent part of the storm. The eyewall is where the strongest winds and heaviest rainfall occur in a tornado. The destructive forces in a tornado are primarily concentrated in the eyewall, where wind speeds can be at their highest, causing the most severe damage to structures and landscapes. If you find yourself in the eye of a tornado, it may seem deceptively calm, but it's important to remember that the storm will resume shortly as the eyewall passes over, bringing back dangerous conditions. Therefore, seeking shelter from the entire storm, including the eyewall, is crucial for safety.
