I would pay good money for a Hurricane Hunter ride-along.

[sir pball]

Penetrating the eyewall of a Cat5 storm, like Dorian - 190 mph winds at 5000 feet...that would be an absolutely incomparable thrill ride.

Plus I'd never worry about turbulence again

1. No, thank you.

I’ve already had enough turbulence in my years of flying, that I have no interest in getting anywhere near flying into a hurricane intentionally.

[sir pball]

2. I really don't like turbulence.

Same as I don't like heights.

But strangely, I love jumping out of planes. It's so much more extreme it breaks my fear.

I imagine this would be the same.

[Laffy Kat]

3. Me too, sir pball, me too.

I enjoy turbulence and a good ride and I also like studying weather phenomena. It would be right up my alley.


Oh, and I also don't like heights and am phobic of helicopters and balloons but am a glider pilot. Go figure.

4. I drove a van in Hurricane Elena a few decades ago.

Tailgating a semi, because it was squeegeing a path through the water on the highway, can't see anything but the semi's tail lights through the driving rain, fighting the wheel all the way into Georgia because of the wind.

And Elena was still sitting offshore, in the Gulf.

No thanks. I'll stay on the ground, holding onto the umbrella in my drink.

5. Why??

We have trump reporting for free!

[Renew Deal]

6. It would be a hell of an experience

I would want to drop one of those transponders into the storm.
