Air Quote by Ginger Zee
“The eye of the hurricane forms as air rotates up and out of the hurricane and some of the air that's being spun out of the top of the storm sinks back into the center. This keeps the eye of the storm relatively calm and clear.”
About This Quote

In simple terms: Air circulation keeps the storm’s eye calm.
