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.
Doremus, a lieutenant-commander with the United States’ National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, got up close to the Category 3 hurricane over the Atlantic Ocean as it flirted with the coasts of Aruba and Puerto Rico—days before it was downgraded into a post-tropical storm and made landfall in Canada.
