Those people have nerves of steel. Those are the ones hat in a scary turbulence in a commercial flight, they say: “This is nothing. It’s all cool. Nothing is going to happen.” While I am praying for my life.
I've been in clear air turbulence, and on one occasion, subsequently evacuated my lunch. That kind of experience that these hurricane hunters went through would be unimaginable.
I took a flight on JAL from Seattle to Tokyo. The turbulence was similar to this for about 20 minutes. The pilot came on the PA and said something to the effect of "ladies & gentlemen, it seems we've entered a pocket of moderate turbulence, we should be out of it in about 20 minutes". I'd hate to see what he calls severe turbulence 😲
Thousands will refuse to leave and next week will be screaming about how slow rescue is and whining about not getting enough socialism, all while freaking out about the evils of socialism.
I do believe those who are staying behind not doing it for the heck of it. If one has no alternative to leave due to transportation constraints, or a vital destination. It becomes an is what it is scenario
They do it to take physical measurements. And they have lost about 1-2 planes and crew per decade. If you were talking about riding out the storm... Frequently the storms come up so fast you don't have a good option to leave. The roads and freeways and gasoline supply just aren't set up to cope with 10 million people suddenly moving north 600 mi. And for every storm that actually takes lives, three are the storms missed by 80 mi and weren't a problem. And it was good to be on site so you could help repair your property before it took further damage. If the 100 mi wide path actually hits your area, you could die. If it doesn't and you left the area you might suffer financially for the next year due to the cost.
Government pay sucks. I worked both for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and for GSA - Government Services Administration. And eventually left for private industry where the going rates for engineers was fully 40% above government pay grades.
@@nobodyknows3180you value personal wealth hoarding more than civil service to your government. Just something for everyone to think about: you wouldn't be able to accumulate such wealth without the government staffed by civil servants keeping everything running in the modern global age
You know, I've always wondered how many times someone has to misquote or misrepresent a political candidate before looking stupid and non sensical... oh wait.. thanks for helping me figure that out.
NOAA has been sounding the alarm for Floridians for 5 years, but y'all ignored them, what is it gonna take to make you folks realize, you're livin on borrowed time?! GTFO of Florida, move inland and start over, cause these storms are just gonna keep gettin worse!! A decade from now, Florida ain't gonna be here.
Keep in mind that a "storm surge" of 6 feet can have waves 10 feet high on top of it. A bud of mine worked in Alabama and Mississippi restoring power after the storm in the 2010's. He said their was a debris line about 25 up in the trees.
I think we all know this thing is going to be devastating, I would rather these brave individuals not risk their lives. Thank you for all that you do!!!🙏
Let me educate CNN reporters halfway through this report: The river in Fort Myers is the Caloosa River. If you call it the Caloosahattee River, you say the Caloosa River River. The word Hatchee means a river in the Seminole language.
It was placed in the most powerful hurricane category - five - though it has fluctuated in strength, and was subsequently downgraded to a category four. While the hurricane dropped in intensity on Tuesday, officials warned that it could double in size before striking Florida again on Wednesday. The core of the hurricane is expected to pass over west-central Florida on Wednesday, with a large storm surge expected along a swathe of the state's coast. It is then due to cut across the peninsula before ending up in the Atlantic Ocean.
It could strike near the city of Tampa, whose wider metropolitan area has a population of more than three million people. Forecasters are warning of torrential rain, flash flooding, high winds and possible storm surges - which occur when water moves inland from the coast. They say Milton could be the worst storm to hit the area in about a century - with a surge of 10-15ft (3-4.5m) possible, and localised rainfall of up to 1.5ft.
<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="37">0:37</a> - wait... y’all knew that you were flying into a Cat. 5, and you didn’t have all that stuff secured beforehand???
Do you think that people who refuse to evacuate while they stand on the path of the hurricane are the same people who are "undecided" about the presidential election?
Why are people hunting hurricanes in tiny little airplanes? We know where it is. We know where it's headed. We know what it looks like. We know how strong the winds are. WHY?
My worst nightmare...but thankful for those brave enough to do it. Heartbreaking situation for all those folks in the path. I would pack up and never return after all they've been though.
Those foolish enough to stay, apparently don't realize that as Milton approaches the warmer waters off the coast, it's going to go nuts. And the winds will be pushing the water in already, before the tide is out. A 2degree temp increase in water temp, is CRITICALLY IMPORTANT here.
Not one of these “extreme storms” have topped Camille in 1969. Camille has been labeled the worst storm to ever occur on planet earth. It was in the pre climate crisis era.
As Prior Airborne Intel, and 2500 flying hours I can tell you, this is a terrifying experience. There is no point in risking your life for an up and close view of death. Just stay on base
😂😅. That flight and others like it is not just about getting a closer view, but collecting data on this hurricane. We know more about hurricanes and predicting them because of flights into hurricanes like this.
