what is the hazard posed by small (150 m) twisting vortices being pulled into the eyewall of a hurricane? multiple choice question. the side of vortices spinning in the same direction as the eyewall will blow even faster, as the eyewall wind speed is added to its own. they can become trapped within the otherwise calm eye and form into tornadoes. the vortice can separate the eye from the hurricane and cause a tornado to form in its place. they are pushed downward by the eyewall, causing strong downbursts.
