jojo762 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Anyone have any clue when the next recon mission takes off into Ida? NHC recon schedule does not seem to indicate that one is taking off soon, but I might be reading it wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Core looks decent, but rest of the storm looks like hot garbage on IR. Suspect its probably a product of sun/heating, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptcatz Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Nice thing from here on out is the NOAA and AF planes will have a short trip to get to the storm. Nothing worse than a plane taking off and thinking ok it will be in the storm in 3 hours from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about my time. 1960's and 1970's No weather channel No cable and No Satellites and radar. Totally different world than now where we have forums like this and instant recon data etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Lol it’s looking basically on track and looks like it’s about to get its act together. do we not remember a storm like Michael or Charlie that exploded in the last 24 hours prior to landfall.

I've always been interested in how ancient people experienced natural disasters for the first time. Imagine being a European colonist just settling in some tropical paradise in the Caribbean, and then you get hit by an eye of a major hurricane. Like that's gotta be a real "wtf is happening?!" moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
