🚨#BREAKING: Watch incredible footage as Hurricane Hunters fly into the eye of Hurricane Erin, a powerful Category 5 storm to collect critical data
📌#Atlantic | #Ocean
Watch incredible footage as NOAA Hurricane Hunters and the U.S. Air Force’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron fly straight into the eye of Hurricane Erin. These crews risk dangerous turbulence and extreme conditions to collect vital data on wind speeds, pressure, and storm structure information that satellites alone can’t capture. Erin has rapidly exploded from a Category 1 to a Category 5 monster with sustained winds of 160 mph. Forecasters use the data gathered from these flights to fine tune models, track the storm’s path, and improve warnings that help save lives. While current forecasts suggest Erin will curve out to sea and spare the U.S., its explosive growth highlights the importance of the Hurricane Hunters’ mission

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
