#HurricanePrep: Before each mission, we make sure we have the proper emergency supplies on board, whether it is a first aid kit or containers of water and strong coffee (see pictures from #NOAA49). Prepare your hurricane kit at https://t.co/rHXHO18rKI.

Join us on Thursday at 1:30 PM for a Hurricane Preparedness Week Facebook Live Session where our office will be joined by @NOAA_HurrHunter's Nikki Hathaway. This live session is open to all ages.
#HurricanePrep: Before each flight, our crews attend a pre-flight briefing to discuss the mission plan. While you may not need a flight plan into a hurricane, make sure you have an evacuation plan to get away from one. Info: https://t.co/tuJYQbmQw9.

Clouds cover two-thirds of the Earth’s surface but we know surprisingly little about them. On @CBSThisMorning Saturday @jeffglor travels to the Caribbean with @NOAAResearch scientists unlocking secrets in clouds they hope will help predict climate change. @NOAA_HurrHunter

MOODY AIR FORCE BASE- #NOAA42 Kermit our WP-3D Orion lands at the Thunder over South Georgia Air Show, supporting our @usairforce partners and will be on site Nov 2nd and 3rd.
ADIRONDACK MTNS, NY - We do more than #HurricaneHunting. Here's a recent time lapse of #TwinOtter#NOAA46 supporting the Soil Moisture/Snow Survey Project for @NWS, a low-level survey used to help predict flooding/water supply forecasts. Info: https://t.co/2VgpqWoGQt

For this #FullDiskFriday we are throwing it waaaaay back to this day in 1975 ⌛ when GOES-1 captured its first visible image. Comparing it to today's #GOESEast full disk shows you just how far we've come in 44 years! More imagery: https://t.co/buFsaR0Ob5
(1/4) SYRACUSE, NY - Did you know our operations go beyond Hurricane Hunting? On a rare occasion, two of our “road warrior” Twin Otters were operating out of Syracuse, NY over the weekend.
