They risk their lives and fly into the eyes of hurricanes.
In fact, NOAA Hurricane Hunters are the only organization allowed to actually fly into thunderstorms, tropical storms and hurricanes.
And they do so to bring back data in order to help cities prepare for what’s coming.

Everything in the airplane is strapped well down, Parrish said.
“It is certainly no commercial flight,” Parrish said.

New York Prepares for Snow With California Drenched by Rain Bloomberg 1/28/2021 Brian K. Sullivan

A winter storm with the potential for heavy snow will move along the East Coast likely starting Jan. 31 or Feb. 1, said Bob Oravec, a senior branch forecaster at the U.S. Weather Prediction Center. The outlook for the cities along the coast isn’t completely clear because there is a chance rain may mix in and hold snow totals down in some areas.
