Join us in the flight station to see what it's like flying into a hurricane! This morning @NOAA WP-3D Orion #NOAA43 "Miss Piggy" flew a critical mission into Hurricane #Helene ahead of its landfall later today. Data collected will help improve intensity forecasts and support hurricane research. Check @NHC_Atlantic and hurricanes.gov for the latest forecasts and advisories. #FlyNOAA
