Which brings up perhaps my most serious criticism, that somehow the aircraft is "pulled up by suction".
The wind blows from high pressure to low pressure. Viewed from the high pressure area, it looks like being pushed outwards. In the center of a hurricane, it looks more like suction. It all depends on your point of view.
