I'm looking up through the eye of the storm. Last I saw on the cable before they cut the electricity, this monster was the size of five southern states taken together; 1500 miles wide, and as loud as a billion freight trains. And we've only seen half of it. Above me now is an otherworldly blue. I've never felt so much the nearness of outer space, as if the eye were a giant hole in the sky.
