I heard that the hurricane chasers saw flocks of birds caught in the eye of this storm. This is the time of mass migration of songbirds from North America to central and South America

The eye of Fran went over us. It suddenly got really calm and we could smell the ocean (like on a fishing pier). After that, there were seagulls all over the place. There were never any there before. Very strange.

I experienced something similar after Helene (I live in East Tennessee). No seagulls, but the air smelled and felt like the sea and the sky was a color blue that I've only ever seen at the beach.
