I’ve been watching this closely. Crazy, crazy stuff. I have two coworkers that work from home and are right in Matthew’s path on Florida’s east coast.

They are definitely getting a workout. Several have come from Keesler in Biloxi, MS to fly through the storm. The one thing that bothers me is how many times in the last few days some of the planes have had issues and had to return prematurely.

I’ve read stories about these rides. It does not sound like fun at all. These crews do a fantastic job.

Here is that flight with the measured wind speeds along the route. All that orange is above 60 knots. Here is the website. You have to have Google Earth installed. I haven’t really had a chance to figure it out, but it looks pretty cool. NOAA 43 is a P-3.

I watched the Mayday episode on NOAA42's flight into Hurricane Hugo in 1989, it was absolutely nuts. Well worth the watch if you’re into this kind of thing.

These people are insane.

And absolutely nothing else in the air on the east coast of Florida.
