Many persons who have experienced the eye of a hurricane have witnessed its calmness, its winds with speeds and also its very high "tides." These are not tides. The seemingly "tide" phenomenon is more precisely called "storm surge." High water levels that occur in the eye of a hurricane are not directly related to location of the moon. The water levels are forced by atmospheric air that surrounds the storm at a distance. Estimate the height of water surge within the eye of Hurricane Wilma.
