In Palm Beach, Florida, Trey Ratcliff has managed to capture what appears to be the eye of the storm situated over the Atlantic Ocean. The eye of the storm is defined as a region of calm weather that typically tends to be located in the middle of a tropical storm. This gives viewers the ability to see the sky that the storm is covering, and a respite from the storm’s harsh weather conditions. Where we can see darkness and rain on all sides, this one particular space remains unaffected and the clear blue skies shine through. Although beautiful on land, during a large hurricane on the water, the eye can create waves as tall as 130 feet and is noted by sailors as the most threatening part of a large storm.
