No, the center, or eye, of a hurricane is actually calm. The strongest winds are in the area around it called the eye wall.

Strongest ocean current?

South of New Zealand, the Southern Ocean's westerly winds drive the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which flows continuously around the globe. This is the world's strongest ocean current, reaching down 4 kilometres to the ocean floor and transporting about 100 times the volume of water of all the world's rivers. The current does not directly affect New Zealand's main islands. However, the Campbell Plateau to the south deflects the current south and channels it north past the Antipodes Islands before the flow resumes its eastward course. Further south, cold, downward-moving winds, known as katabatic winds, flow off Antarctica. These winds drive a westward current and form a clockwise gyre in the Ross Sea.
