The "eye" of a tropical cyclone such as a hurricane is the generally clear, calm circular area at the center of the storm, where the pressure is the lowest. Conversely, the eyewall clouds are typically the area of highest wind intensity. The eye of Andrew was clearly visible on satellite views, ranging from 20 to 45 miles (32 to 72 km) in diameter. It struck southern Florida and later southern Louisiana during August, 1992.
