the unnerving part comes when you are doing these things and the aircraft is getting tossed around a little bit by the storm. our aircraft is over 120,000 pounds when we fly through the eye wall at times. when it gets pushed around like a leaf in the wind, it s a little unnerving, but it s exciting. what we re doing up here to improve the forecast is something i can really get behind. to me it sounds a bit more unnerving than exciting. but i do get how important it is. what is the data that you ve been able to collect so far on idalia? oh, we have a lot of instrumentation that s running as we go through the storm. when we go through the center of the storm, we ll hunt for the center. we ll identify the exact low-pressure center, and if we do it right, we ll find the surface winds where they are exactly at zero knots, and that helps recalibrate the forecast. we also get radar data that can help feed into super computer
