Inside Fiona's eye, the circular walls of cloud resembled a sports dome, he said
FREDERICTON — Kevin Doremus says the eyes of hurricanes, including Fiona — a storm that barrelled into Atlantic Canada last month causing widespread damage — look like open-air domes, similar to sports arenas.
"You basically go through the strongest winds of the storm right through the eye wall and then the winds go from very, very strong to zero very, very quickly," Doremus said in a recent interview. "You go from flying through basically a bathtub — just a ton of rain, a ton of precipitation where you can't see anything out of the window, and then you just break out into the middle of the eye and everything clears up.
"It was a very challenging storm for us because it was very far away from land when it was really strong," he said. "So, we had these long two- or three-hour transits to get out to the storm.""We were in the storm, where majority of the time was in darkness. But there was so much lightning that when we were in the eye, the lightning was kind of lighting it up for us so we could see some of the features," he said. "It was definitely a very active storm for sure.
What Doremus said he found unusual about Fiona was that the storm maintained its strength for a lot longer than the average for hurricanes. Researchers and pilots spent large amounts of time studying Fiona to learn how storms intensify, he said, adding that scientists can't use the instruments to gather data once the storm is over land.
