Standing in the eye of a hurricane sounds like a pretty crazy idea. But Patrick Marsh did just that — and he has the video to prove it.
The Ph.D. candidate in meteorology at the University of Oklahoma was inside the eye of Hurricane Isaac as the Category 1 hurricane roared inland along the Gulf Coast this week.
In the eerie video, a dull gray sky looms over a green landscape that is utterly still. The only sound that breaks the silence is the occasional chirp of a lone bird.
Marsh shot the footage in Houma, La., a town about 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of New Orleans, at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday (Aug. 29).
