Hurricane hunters<\/a> are aircrews that fly into hurricanes (or cyclones) to gather weather data. \u00a0Whether they are crazy or not is a matter of opinion.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, the idea of flying straight into a hurricane didn’t have much support in the beginning. \u00a0Go figure, right? \u00a0The armed forces have a history of bravery, and the first (intentional) hurricane hunters came from the British military during WW2. \u00a0In 1943 a surprise hurricane hit the Texas coast. \u00a0British pilots were training at the time at Bryan Field. \u00a0When the hurricane hit, American soldiers started evacuating because they didn’t trust the reliability of their aircraft. \u00a0British Major Casey Hamilton, a lead instructor at the field, proved them wrong by flying with another trainer right into the eye of the storm. \u00a0They returned safely. \u00a0They were the first hurricane hunters.<\/p>\n

Hurricane hunters are highly skilled pilots. \u00a0They come from the Air Force Reserve and are known as the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance\u00a0Association. \u00a0Since 1944, they have been the only Department of Defense organizations still flying into hurricanes, cyclones and tropical storms. \u00a0People involved include the pilots, of course, but also a vast support group of navigators, weather loadmasters and a dedicated ground crew.<\/p>\n

The Mission of Hurricane Hunters – Home Electricity – What are Hurricane Hunters?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The organization can investigate up to three storms at once and operates 24 hours\/day. \u00a0At the beginning of a storm, the crew will fly between 500-1,500 feet above the ocean’s surface. \u00a0One of their main tasks is to determine which way the wind is blowing. \u00a0They also study the ocean waves to pinpoint wind speed and direction.<\/p>\n

For stronger hurricanes (Category 3 and above), hurricane hunters enter the storm at 10,000 feet. \u00a0They are able to understand the hurricane’s eye better, including the lowest surface pressure. Home Electricity – What are Hurricane Hunters?<\/p>\n

A Salute to Hurricane Hunters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Without a doubt, these men and women do us a great service. \u00a0Hurricanes cannot be stopped, but due to the efforts of hurricane hunters, we can evacuate our homes sooner. \u00a0Lives and property are saved because of what they do. \u00a0Electricity Express<\/span> applauds the hard and dangerous work done by hurricane hunters. \u00a0They help us help you during the annual hurricane season, and we couldn’t do our jobs without them.<\/p>\n
