Weather experts have spotted an unusual sight in satellite images of Hurricane Matthew’s trajectory over Florida.
During a weather report on Thursday, WSB-TV’s meteorologist Glenn Burns noted that there appeared to be birds caught in the storm.
After pointing to the eye of the storm, he gestured to an area of green and yellow in the middle of it, saying, “Those are seagulls and birds that are flying inside the eye of the storm trying to escape the strongest part of the storm which is in the north and north-eastern center of it.”
Burns explained the likely reason for their location, telling the audience that “inside the eye, the air is calm and the skies are clear.”
As of Friday, Hurricane Matthew is considered to be a Category 3 storm with sustained winds of up to 120 miles per hour.
NBC News reports that the storm has already claimed the lives of hundreds of people in Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean.
