The eye of a hurricane is the axis about which the air rotates. It is a place of low wind and apparently, very peaceful, compared the the rest of the hurricane. The peace is short lived however. As the eye of the hurricane moves, that spot will once again be engulfed in the winds that cause destruction and injury.

Can The eye of the tornado have oxygen in it?

Yes, the eye of a tornado typically contains air from the surrounding environment, which includes oxygen. The winds inside the tornado can be less turbulent in the eye, allowing for the presence of oxygen in that part of the storm.


Is air pressure inside a tornado is lower than outside a tornado?

The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.


Has anyone survived inside a tornado funnel?

It is extremely unlikely for someone to survive inside a tornado funnel due to the violent winds and debris. Tornado funnels have winds that can exceed 200 mph and are capable of causing catastrophic damage. It is safer to seek shelter in a sturdy building or underground during a tornado.


What is the barometric pressure before a tornado?

It is not know for certain. One thing that is known is that the pressure is low inside a tornado. The intensity of a tornado is largely determined by the pressure deficit, meaning how much lower the pressure inside the tornado than its surroundings. It is estimated, that a strong tornado will have a pressure deficit of at least 25 millibars, so that if the pressure surrounding the tornado is 950 millibars, the core pressure will be 925 millibars. A violent tornado may have a pressure deficit of over 100 millibars.


Is a culvert a good place to hide from a tornado?

No, a culvert is not a safe place to hide from a tornado. Culverts can easily flood during storms, trap you inside, or collapse under the force of the tornado. It is best to seek a sturdier shelter like a basement, storm cellar, or designated tornado shelter.

Can tornadoes affect the temperature or climate?

Tornadoes do not affect climate. Climate is the long term trend in weather patterns while a tornado is a short lived effect. Temperature inside a tornado is lower than it is in the surrounding environment. However, you would only experience this while inside the tornado itself.


What would it be like to be in the middle of a tornado?

At the center of the tornado there may be very violent winds, but in some cases it is fairly calm depending on how the tornado has developed.
