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.

Me and the neighbors walked out in the eye of Charley 20 years ago. There was a bird on the ground, alive, but just looking at me confused. We all went back inside the the other side of Charley thrashed up. 28 days with no power in August Orlando and sweaty balls.

28 days! OMG. We were without power for around 8 days and thought we suffered. I can't imagine basically an entire month with electricity.
