The inner core of the hurricane is known as the eye of the storm—a calm, often clear-skied patch where winds are lightest and pressure is lowest.
Weather experts have calculated that hurricanes move forward at an average speed of 15-20 miles per hour, but a big storm also has the potential to linger over one area for a while, causing torrential rains, or move so quickly that there is no time to prepare for its arrival.

 WRC’s 2005 Hurricane Forecast
Houston — It is hard to believe after the grueling hurricane season of 2004 that it is time again to start and prepare for the 2005 hurricane season.
WRC’s Orbital Cyclone Strike Index [OCSI®] indicates the sections of the coast with the highest probability of a land falling tropical storm or hurricane in 2005 is the Texas coast and the west coast of Florida which both have a 70% chance of experiencing a tropical system this year.
During the 20 year period 1985 to 2004, there have only been three years 1987, 1992 and 1999 when a storm or hurricane did not make landfall in the section of the United coast that had the highest risk.
