eye of the storm
Hurricane's quiet heart
The eye of the storm is the calm center of a cyclone or hurricane, where winds are light and skies may clear briefly.
Figuratively, it describes a position of relative calm amid surrounding chaos or crisis: She remained composed, the eye of the storm while everyone else panicked.
Someone at the eye of the storm is at the center of a controversy or tumultuous situation.
