Hurricane hunters fly into eye of Helene as storm barrels toward Florida's Gulf Coast

///

Helene strengthened into a hurricane Wednesday, and forecasters warned that the storm would intensify as it crosses the Gulf of Mexico on a path to Florida. The storm had already prompted residents to evacuate, schools to close and officials to declare emergencies in Florida and Georgia.

The hurricane was about 500 miles (810 kilometers) southwest of Tampa, Florida, and had sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. Forecasters said it is expected to become a major hurricane with its center making landfall in the Big Bend area of Florida’s northwestern coast as soon as late Thursday.

It's so calm and peaceful in the eye but then once you go through the back end of the storm, that's when things really get bad

If that plane goes down there is 0 chance of rescue. As no one can get to you in the swells of a hurricane. I still like to ride in one though.

The gulf is so warm... This could be really bad. So early in the season too. Btw, How high are they flying??

When you see helicopters or airplanes fly above the storm just to get a good view of that monster you know y'all shouldn't be in it's path.

Planes are just a thing skin of metal over a frame. Are these planes constructed to be stronger?
