HURRICANE HUNTERS — Viewing from the cockpit 👀#Erin#Beast and what happens next will boggle the mind. The “eye” as Hurricane 🌀Hunters flew through was barely 7 miles wide. In about 3 days, it will be closer to 60-70 miles wide (max winds will decrease).
Last night, the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flew into the eye of Hurricane Erin—and captured imagery of the breathtaking stadium effect.
These missions provide critical data to the NHC to improve forecasts, helping keep communities safe before the storm makes landfall.#readynow #weatherready
2/5 - Our survey team confirmed an EF-2 tornado on the east side of Valdosta from yesterday's storms. Estimated peak winds were 120 mph. More details below. #GAwx
@scudnole All good for me. I had small hail at the house. I guess it was a few miles east of me. Some damage with it. Very lucky it was in a more rural area and not in the more populated area of the city.
The launch of #Artemis I is right around the corner.
