The eye of dangerous Hurricane Irma looks something like a sports stadium. 。
SEE ALSO:Hurricane Irma: This monster storm is perfect in the most alarming ways 。The so-called "Hurricane Hunters" from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) flew through the storm and captured the "stadium effect" of the strong Category 5 storm. This makes the eye look like a sports arena dome with the smaller opening looking into the "stadium" below. 。

Outside the clear center of the dome lie the storm's most fearsome sustained winds, which reached at least 185 miles per hour on Tuesday afternoon.。
Thanks for signing up! 。
The images come from one of three NOAA planes flying through and around Irma for forecast information. Whereas NOAA missions are geared toward improving forecasts and conducting research, the Air Force Reserve's storied Hurricane Hunters squadron also fly into these meteorological beasts for storm monitoring and warning reasons. 。
The Air Force also braved the turbulence of Hurricane Irma on Tuesday, filming this impressive video of the eye. 。
