The US has entered peak 'hurricane season', with a high percentage of tropical cyclones set to hit the nation in the coming weeks. Hurricane Idalia has torn its way through Florida, and The National Hurricane Centre is monitoring at least 4 other named storms. Lieutenant Colonel Mark Withee, a Weather Reconnaissance Squadron navigator, says each hurricane season is different, with some years being busier than others. "The hurricane season starts on June 1, but it typically doesn't ramp up until late August/early September. 2021 was an exceptionally busy year, the season kicked off early in mid-May."

Show Notes Host: Ryan Harris Guests: Lieutenant Colonels Jeremy DeHart and Kyle Larson, U.S. Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron (aka The Hurricane Hunters) Description: Most people run from hurricanes. Jeremy DeHart and Kyle Larson run toward them, or rather, they fly into them...on purpose. They are part of the storied unit, the United State Air Force Hurricane Hunters, that literally fly directly into the eye of the storm to collect all-important weather observations to feed critical information into weather models and narrow down the cone of uncertainty. Without the information, the intensity and track of hurricane predictions would be wildly inaccurate. Take a journey with us as we explore Hurricane Hunter missions in Michael, Ian, and even the atmospheric rivers that flooded California this January.

Operation Christmas Drop - Official Trailer / NetflixThe Guam Daily Post - Article on OCDLearn more about OCD:"Operation Christmas Drop is the world's longest running humanitarian airdrop training mission, providing critical supplies to many Micronesian islands, impacting more than 20,000 people across 1.8 million square nautical miles of operating area. The drop is the oldest ongoing Department of Defense mission which remains in full operation. The operation was first conducted in 1951, when the aircrew of a WB-29 aircraft assigned to the 54th Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, formerly assigned to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam, was flying a mission to the south of Guam over the Micronesian atoll of Kapingamarangi. When they saw the islanders waving to them, the crew quickly gathered some items they had on the plane, placed them in a container with a parachute attached and dropped the cargo as they circled again. In 2015, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force and the Royal Australian Air Force participated in the operation along with the United States Air Force. Japan and Australia each provided one C-130 Hercules to join the three C-130s provided by the United States. In 2019, Royal New Zealand Air Force has joined Operation Christmas Drop.

Sunday marked one hundred days until the start of the 2021 hurricane season on June 1st. It's never too early to prepare for the 2021 tropical season. After the record-breaking 2020 hurricane season in the Atlantic, many wonder what this next season could bring. The 403rd Wing, a unit of the United States Air Force assigned to the Air Force Reserve Command and home to the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, are known for their hurricane hunter missions. Maj. Jeremy Dehart and his colleagues fly directly into - and through - hurricanes to record vital data used in the weather forecast. Dehart, who grew up in Lenior, North Carolina, joins the Carolina Weather Group panel to discuss the upcoming season, their offseason preparations, and his memories from the 2020 hurricane season.

Threats to military forces and infrastructure come from overt enemy actions, terrorist acts, and training accident, but mother nature poses a threat too. Packing the energy of dozens of nuclear weapons ( http://texmex.mit.edu/pub/emanuel/PAPERS/hurrpower.pdf ) , a hurricane destroys almost everything in its path--whether military or civilian. And like any other threat, a clear understanding of the "enemy" is necessary. On this episode, Lt Col (select) Mark Withee and Capt Garrett Black, both of the U.S. Air Force Reserve ( https://afreserve.com/ ) and members of the 53d Weather Reconnaissance Squadron ( https://www.403wg.afrc.af.mil/About/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/192529/53rd-weather-reconnaissance-squadron-hurricane-hunters/ ) based at Keesler AFB, Mississippi ( https://www.keesler.af.mil/ ) , join us to describe the nuances of flying into destructive storms to glean as much information about the storm's path and propensity to intensify. Far from haphazardly flying through a storm, the Hurricane Hunters' specially-modified WC-130 Hercules ( https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/c130/wc-130j-weatherbird.html ) is perfectly suited for the mission. Guest cohost Becky Shaw returns to the show to describe NOAA ( https://www.noaa.gov/ ) 's hurricane flying and answer listener questions such as the impacts of weather on flying close air support, the firing of actual missiles in training, and the etymology of the word "pickle" in releasing air-to-ground stores.

Republican Texas Rep. Bill Flores announced that he will not be seeking reelection in 2020. He is one of the many Republicans to announce their retirement. It is a factor that could make it more difficult for the GOP to recapture a majority in next year's elections. FOX's National Correspondent Jared Halpern and Fox News Politics Editor Chris Stirewalt weigh in on the increasing wave of retirements within the GOP and what this means for the upcoming 2020 election. Hurricane Dorian has weakened significantly since it battered the Bahamas but remains a dangerous and powerful storm. Lt. Col. Jeff Ragusa is a member of the "Hurricane Hunters", the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron in the Air Force Reserve. He has flown through Dorian five times, and he describes what it's like.

Ever wondered what it would be like to fly into the heart of a storm? For the pilots of the 53d Weather Reconnaissance Squadron it’s just another day on the job monitoring and collecting data on weather systems. These ‘Hurricane Hunters’ share what it’s really like when you reach the eye of a storm. But it’s not just weather on Earth that captures our imagination; we’re travelling about 63 light years from our world to experience weather on other planets. Wind speeds of 5,400mph, dust storms and a Giant Red Spot which has raged on uninterrupted for the last 400 years. Buckle up, we’re in for a bumpy, but thrilling, ride.

Most people would run, sprint, fly away from danger. Most people look for their safety in numbers. Most people look at the gravity of what mother nature can do to entire towns, buildings, and peoples’ homes. Most people would run from a hurricane. And yet, most people have also never heard of the Hurricane Hunters.In 1951, the deadliest tropical cyclone of that years’ Atlantic hurricane season, was barreling across the sea and heading right for Corpus Christi, Texas. Or at least that’s what everyone thought. Hurricane Charlie started from a tropical wave east of the Lesser Antilles. Had it hit Corpus Christi, Tx it most likely would have made the history books, and it would have been a topic of conversation that we still talk about today, because it surely would have destroyed a good majority of the lives that the people of Corpus Christi, Port Arthur, North Padre Island had at that time. Instead, the hurricane struck Jamaica with winds of 135 miles an hour, before then hurtling into the Mexican coast and the Yucatan Peninsula. Hurricane Charlie was responsible for 250 deaths. It is known as the deadliest natural disaster of the 20th century for Jamaica and has numbers ranging around $50,000,000 in damages and 152 dead. This hurricane was huge. However, back in 1951, we didn’t have the same technology we do today, and we would have never known some of the things we know now had it not been for the Air Force Reserve’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, better known today as the Hurricane Hunters.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly into a major hurricane – intentionally?? Join us as we talk to “Hurricane Hunter” pilot Captain Will Simmons of the US Air Force 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron. Captain Simmons graduated from the Geosciences Department at Mississippi State University and subsequently worked for two years as an AMS-certified meteorologist at WCBI-TV in Columbus, MS. After earning his pilot wings in the US Air Force, Captain Simmons began flying for the Hurricane Hunters out of Keesler Air Force Base in 2015. He has more than 60 hurricane eye penetrations to his name, including all of the major hurricanes this season. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carolinaweather/message
