S43-608-18 - Hurricane Fefa
The well-developed eye of Hurricane Fefa is shown in this image
taken on August 3 (Flight Day 2) at 21:23 GMT. Fefa was located
about halfway between tthe southern tip of Baja California and
Hawaii at this time. Maxinum sustained winds were estimated at 85
miles per hour with gusts to 100 miles per hour. The eye was es-
timated at about 25 miles in diameter. This image shows clearly
the bowl-shaped eye structure. As in many hurricanes, the entire
eye was vertically tilted, in this case to the southeast. Rol-
leiflex camera, 250mm lens
The Pacific Ocean below can be seen looking down through the eye of Hurricane Fefa (exact location unknown). Fefa was a very strong Pacific Hurricane with a superb tightly formed eye. The tighter the eye in a circular storm, the stronger the winds within the gyre. At the time of this exposure, Fefa was located about midway between the California coast and Hawaii. Fefa dissipated at sea, failing to make landfall, and did no property damage
