The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hurricane Hunters were in for a “bumpy” ride after they sent aircraft into the eye of Hurricane Milton to collect data on the massive storm heading toward the Florida coast. Data collected by the agency’s high-flying meteorological stations helps forecasters make accurate predictions during a hurricane and help hurricane researchers achieve a better understanding of storm processes. The massive hurricane was even captured by the International Space Station as it flew over.
