Why do hurricane winds blow in the opposite direction after the eye passes?
What happens is the there will be a short time of calm and clear
sky. This is not the time to go outside. For in a few minutes the
other side of the storm will hit. Winds will then come from the
opposite direction.
If you are near the shore this is when the storm surge will be
coming in. Storm surge is the most dangerous part of a hurricane. A
giant wall of water comes ashore and drowns everything in its path.
This is where the greatest number of deaths come from a
hurricane.
