My father was in the Navy and his cruiser -- the USS Long Beach -- sailed into the eye of a Hurricane once. The waves outside the eye were so bad that the captain was crying under the stress, apparently. (You might, too, if you knew you were responsible for the lives on that ship.)

Anyway, when the ship finally sailed into the eye, the water was as smooth as glass, about as surreal a view on nature as anyone is likely to experience.

Well, that's how my dad told the story.
