Flossie Watch: The Air Force Reserve Command's "Hurricane Hunters" from Keesler AFB, La., are in Hawaii tracking Hurricane Flossie. The Honolulu Star Bulletinreports that the specially configured WC-130Js from the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron have flown several six-hour missions within the eye of the storm since Aug. 12, transmitting data to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

And with DEAN just 1500 miles SE of PR, looks like the 53rd will be jumping this year!

I have family in Houston and will be there the 23-26th. Hope no Hurricanes visit at the same time. :roll:
