Though Ike has weakened, the storm did make landfall as a Category Two hurricane.
Before the storm hit the Gulf Coast, Titan 13 meteorologist Jessica Foster and Videographer Brandon Smith got the chance to fly into the storm with the Hurricane Hunters.
The crew flew into Hurricane Ike during the early morning hours on Friday. It was a nine hour mission.
One of the main functions of a Hurricane Hunter mission is to gather information through special instruments that are dropped into the storm. The instrument is called a dropsonde.
A parachute is attached and the dropsonde falls through the hurricane and takes measurements. These measurements include wind speed, wind direction, temperature and pressure.
“I monitor this information as the sonde is falling, and I make sure it’s a good sonde all the way until it hits the water. After it hits the water, I can see the information, make sure it’s all good, make corrections if I have to, then I send it over to the weather officer over there across the hall. And he transmits the information to the hurricane center,” says MSgt. Kevin Davis, Dropsonde Operator.
