PRAYERS!!! Can’t believe people DO this kind of stuff.
Annie.... Long time no FReep!!!!
Missed U.
Weather Orgies function to keep OTHER news off the screens:
Like an Assange doc dump.
They’ll keep this going as long as they possibly can.
THAT, I believe, is why Assange delayed the release in the first place.
Especially in a 50 year old aircraft!
Newbie I’m here every day.
Nah.They know there in a good AC and the Maint/support people are the best.
Plus they love the drug free rush.
That is still a very well organized hurricane. Not good.
Way cool! Strongest winds are from the dropsond NW of the center in mission 30 showing 127knts.
I’ve been using Flight radar, but I like that link you put up.

Nice!
Lord guard and guide the men who fly
Through the great spaces in the sky
Be with them always in the air
In darkening storms or sunlight fair
Oh hear us when we lift our prayer
For those in peril in the air
(variant verse of the Navy Hymn for aviators)
My ex boyfiend’s father was a ‘Hurricane Hunter’ flight engineer. Really admired him and loved his stories. Unfortunately, he turned to pills and lost his family. Incredibly sad.
I’m in Orlando. Airport closed.
Weekly golf game off for tomorrow, so we’ll all get together and drink and BS without the regular 18 holes first.

O’muslim hasn't been this excited since he lit up the white house in rainbow colors.
I wonder what would happen if you exploded a fuel/air bomb in the eye of the hurricane.
I totally misread this and thought a second hurricane, named Hunter, was merging with Matthew! lol....I was thinking some kind of mega-hurricane like a B movie
