Not being funny but that's pretty much what it looks like on a typical winter's day wherabouts I live (England).

I actually had the expectation that Eye of the hurricane is pretty calm. Doesn't look like. And then I wonder what happens on the edge of the hurricane...

But this footage is not from within the eye.

Bullshit.

Maybe force 6 is normal, but this is easily force 10+

Even the fastnet race of 79 was LESS than what we are seeing in this video

The pilot chart for north atlantic in december is showing 20% of days are at a gale in your latitudes, but that's again, a far stretch from the video: https://www.offshoreblue.com/nav/pilot-charts.php

Here's the beaufort scale for reference: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/faq/tornado/beaufort.html

is it not? i assumed it was the eye with the title "inside a huricane"

other sites: "For first time ever, drone sent into eye of Cat. 4 hurricane"

the article outlines footage from inside the hurricane.

‘Inside a hurricane’ could very well mean either ‘inside the envelope around a hurricane where wind speeds exceed hurricane force’, ‘inside the eye wall of a hurricane’, rather than ‘inside the eye of a hurricane’.

If someone tells you there’s jam inside a donut do you complain that the hole through the middle appears to contain no jam?

It definitely seems like it is from within the eye, or at least extremely close to it based on the video imagery.

> the article outlines footage from inside the hurricane.

Further the article has a video showing the location of the drone in the storm, pretty far from the eye.

The eye is very calm - and freakily bright. It glows from all directions as the light is reflected down into it, causing all the windows in the house to cast shadows onto the floor, which your brain can quickly realize is wrong! But I expect on the water it's a bit different - I experienced the eye of hurricane Charley when it made landfall in Florida in 2004. My uncle actually ran for his camera because he figured it'd be calm a while. Thankfully he was right

That does not look like an eye due to darkness. Waves would be a bit calmer too as the wind would die.
