How wide is the hurricane eye? And is it true that the walls of the eye are some of the strongest and most violent of the winds? 
Thanks

The Eye and the Eyewall

Spike, typically hurricane eyes are between 10 to 40 miles wide, depending upon the size of the cane itself. There are probably some rare instances when they can even reach 50 miles across. And yes, the strongest winds are found in the eyewall. This link should explain it all:

In fact, Hurricane Howard in the E. Pacific in 1998 had an eye that was nearing 60 nautical miles in diameter.
