What is the center of the storm like? what is it called???

it's called the 'eye' of the storm, and it's calmer than any other clear day. say you're on the ocean and you're in a hurricane. you find yourself in the eye of the storm... there is no movement. the sun is shining, there is no wind, the ocean is still.

In meteorology, a cyclone is an area of low atmospheric pressure characterised by inward spiraling winds that spin clockwise in the northern hemisphere of the Earth, or counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. It is a generic description covering a wide variety of different meteorological phenomena such as tropical cyclones, Extratropical cyclones and tornadoes, thus is rarely used by meteorologists without a qualifying term.\n\nThe terms hurricane and typhoon are regionally specific names for a strong tropical cyclone—a non-frontal, synoptic-scale, warm-core low-pressure system with cyclonic surface wind circulation (Holland 1993). Specifically, hurricanes generally refer to such storms in the Atlantic Basin and the Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. Typhoons refer to the storms in the north Pacific west of the International Date Line. The typhoon term has also been applied to tropical cyclones in the South Pacific or Indian Ocean, but this is not considered correct usage today\n\nare same

A storm has to do with strong winds.  I'd say anything stronger that 30 mph winds is classified as a storm.  Plus, storm winds do damage other than flooding that a heavy rain would do.

it is at its highest point during a storm.it creasts then starts going back down.

Thin air, but there are storms with high velocity winds.  Very cold at the poles, and cold elsewhere with a bright sun.  No clouds, but the wind picks up a lot of dust and sand.

Hurricane/Storm Differences\n\nHurricane is the name given to violent storms that originate over the tropical or subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, or North Pacific Ocean east of the International Date Line. Such storms over the North Pacific west of the International Date Line are called typhoons; those elsewhere are known as tropical cyclones, which is the general name for all such storms including hurricanes and typhoons. These storms can cause great damage to property and loss of human life due to high winds, flooding, and large waves crashing against shorelines. \n\nStorm is an atmospheric disturbance in the form of strong winds usually accompanied by rain, snow, or other precipitation and sometimes accompanied by lightning or thunder.\nstorms characterized by area of low atmospheric pressure surrounded by a wind system and often accompanied by rain,storm characterized by extreme cold, strong winds, and heavy snowfall,destructive, violently whirling wind incorporating a funnel-shaped cloud,electrical discharge in the atmosphere often accompanied by thunder

You can thank the upper-air weather pattern for all the rain. I'm a storm chaser from Texas and these blocked patterns (upper ridge over the Rockies and upper trough over the Atlantic states) spell disaster for us looking for tornadoes across Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. We constantly stay dry, and you guys constantly stay wet. Until the pattern changes to a more traditional West to East flow and can kick these blocked troughs / ridges out of here, we're in for more of the same.

Tornado is the most violent of all storms. A tornado, sometimes called a twister, consists of a rapidly rotating column of air that forms under a thundercloud or a developing thundercloud. Tornado winds swirl at speeds that may exceed 300 miles (480 kilometers) per hour. A powerful tornado can lift cattle, automobiles, and even mobile homes into the air and destroy almost everything in its path. Fortunately, most tornadoes are relatively weak, and only a few are devastating. \nScientists use the word cyclone to refer to all spiral-shaped windstorms that circulate in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere or in a clockwise direction in the Southern Hemisphere. The term cyclone comes from the Greek word for circle. Cyclones come in many sizes. Among the largest such storms are hurricanes and typhoons, which may reach 250 miles (400 kilometers) across. \nMost tornadoes are small, intense cyclones. On rare occasions, the winds whirl in the direction opposite that of a cyclone--for example, clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. \nMost tornadoes have damage paths less than 1,600 feet (500 meters) wide, move at less than 35 miles (55 kilometers) per hour, and last only a few minutes. Extremely destructive twisters may reach 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) in diameter, travel at 60 miles (100 kilometers) per hour, and blow for more than an hour. \nThe United States has the highest incidence of tornadoes in the world. Most of these storms occur in a belt known as Tornado Alley that stretches across the Midwestern and Southern states, especially Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. However, tornadoes also strike many other parts of the world. Australia ranks second to the United States in number of twisters, and many damaging tornadoes strike Bangladesh. Tornadoes occur most often during the spring and early summer in the late afternoon and early evening. \nA tornado over a body of water is called a waterspout. Waterspouts occur frequently in summer over the Florida Keys. Waterspouts also form elsewhere in the Gulf, along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, over the Great Lakes, and even over the Great Salt Lake in Utah. \nThe story of a tornado. The majority of tornadoes develop from severe thunderstorms. A hurricane, when it makes landfall, can also generate tornadoes. \nThe most damaging tornadoes form in large, powerful thunderstorms called supercells. For a supercell to form, and perhaps spawn a tornado, several conditions must exist. There must be an adequate supply of moisture to feed the storm. In Tornado Alley, air from the Gulf of Mexico provides the moisture. There must be a layer of warm, moist air near the ground and a layer of much cooler air above. Often, a front (the boundary between two air masses at different temperatures) powers an upward flow of warm air. As the warm air rises, it begins to cool, and the moisture it holds condenses into raindrops. The air stops rising at high levels and spreads sideways to form a characteristic anvil-shaped storm cloud. \nFor a supercell to develop, the winds at higher elevations must differ markedly from those at lower levels in speed, direction, or both. Such a large difference in wind speed or direction is called wind shear. Wind shear makes the column of rising air begin to rotate, forming a broad, horizontal tube of swirling air. As the storm continues, this tube turns on its end, producing a rotating column of air called a mesocyclone. Studies show that most supercells containing mesocyclones eventually produce tornadoes. \nA low, dark, heavy cloud called a wall cloud forms underneath the mesocyclone. Tornado funnels develop out of the wall cloud. \nThe first sign of an approaching tornado may be light rain, followed by heavier rain, then rain mixed with hail. The hailstones may grow to the size of golf balls or even baseballs. After the hail ends, a tornado may strike. In most tornadoes, a funnel-shaped cloud forms and descends from the wall cloud until it touche

cyclone: an atmospheric system characterized by the rapid inward circulation of air masses about a low-pressure center, usually accompanied by stormy, often destructive weather. Cyclones circulate counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. \n\nhurricane: a severe tropical cyclone originating in the equatorial regions of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea or eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean, traveling north, northwest, or northeast from its point of origin, and usually involving heavy rains. \n\ntyphoon: a tropical cyclone occurring in the western Pacific or Indian oceans.
