When You Are the "I" of Your Storm
Some life storms have an "eye" as identifiable as that of a hurricane and as dangerous. Only the eye is not spelled "e-y-e"-it's spelled "I" says Hurricane Hunter David Jeremiah.

The Storm Chaser
"Real storm chasers don't drive right into the middle of an F-5 tornado to deploy their instruments. They keep a respectful distance-all storm chasers, that is, except one . . . " (another article by the Hurricane Hunter)
