Strange..I get the impression of a series of 'still' frames mixed with
some
'video' sections.

Right click. Select plug-insoptions performance tab and set the network
buffering to something like 120 seconds.




The eye of a hurricane, which can be around 40 to 80 miles in diameter,
is
an area of subsiding and warming air.

40 miles? I seem to remember an eye of 8 miles somewhere and 20 miles is
quite common. Ivan had a 20 mile eyewall several times.


I understand that the strongest winds
are associated with the eye-wall of massive CB clouds which surround the
eye. I would think the transition between the relative light winds of
the
eye and the surrounding maelstrom occurs over a period of several
minutes,
depending on the speed the hurricane is moving. I stand to be corrected
by
experts.

Pity the video cut from the actual destruction to the eyewall although I
suspect that the time difference between the two was quite large,and
thus, it was a video of the destruction of a garage rather than a video
of an eyewall.

Those videos show you the awesome power of these things. In that third clip
the wind at times sounded like concorde going overhead.
