Eskimo Joe Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 The embedding isn't working, but apparently some rando is flying their private jet into the eye of Helene and core punching it. The plane definitely isn't associated with any NOAA or Hurricane Hunters mission according to the registration data. https://x.com/ou_sams/status/1839438191641919744 1 1 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 48 minutes ago, Prospero said: This will be remembered for a long time. I have concern for everybody in a storm surge vulnerable location. I'm at 15 feet in Gulfport and getting a little concerned even this high. https://clearwaterbeachcams.com/ We are in for a very nasty surprise tonight in Pinellas County. He said water is now over the seawall in Dunedin Beach and rising with sustained winds that are tough to stand still in and sheets of rain. The panhandle is going to get rocked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely. lol If you mean SAR as in the FAA filing some paperwork stating that ultimately the cause death/wreck was a jackass flying into a hurricane, then yes, a SAR team will quickly handle this.

I won't derail the thread with this, so I won't say anything further after this - but you would be surprised what some teams will brave in an attempt to resuce persons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
