As a hurricane passes overhead and the heavy wind and rain have stopped, it may suddenly become calm. Why is it a bad idea to assume that the danger has passed?

Because you're in the eye of the storm.

It would be dangerous to assume that the danger has passed if you are under these conditions because "The Eye of The Storm" Is the center of a hurricane and if you were to be in it, everything would seem calm and safe, but the Eye continues to move so you will not be in this 'safe' position for long.

Sorry for taking so long. Hope that helped :)
