First person to be caught in part of storm (3)

I believe the answer is:

eye

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of storm' is the definition.
'eye' can be an answer for 'part' (eye is a kind of part). I'm unsure of the 'of storm' bit.

'first person to be caught' is the wordplay.
'first person' becomes 'I' (first-person pronoun).
'to be caught' shows a homophone (sound like) (heard).
'i' sounds like 'EYE'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eye that I've seen before include "Look at, scrutinise" , "Oculus" , "Regard" , "'Public' or 'private' body part" , "Middle of storm" .)
