They're talking about the center of the eye making landfall. At least thats what this land lubber has learned watching all this coverage.

It's my understanding they refer to the eye. Not much else for reference, the damn thing's HUNDREDS of miles in diameter.

The winds are strongest surrounding the eye, so that's why they watch where it hits. The most damage occurs from those winds, but the dirty side is also extremely bad.

So it's the wall of the eye, or the center? I would guess the wall of the eye.

Inside the eye, nothing is happening. It's calm, serene and dull. Just NEXT to the eye is where the most serious action is taking place.

No...... they are referring to the leading edge of the eye touching land.

When a hurricane makes landfall, that area has already experienced half of the hurricane.
