(MENAFN) One of the strongest Atlantic storms ever recorded, the sky darkened, and lightning flashed and a jolt of turbulence shook the cabin of the hulking Air Force turbo-prop aircraft as it plied its way toward the eye of Hurricane Irma.
Hitterman said, adding that sometimes shaking gets so bad, he cannot see his instruments, "As you"re driving through that car wash, a bunch of gorillas start jumping on top of your car."
Rick Knabb said, a hurricane expert at the Weather Channel and a former director the National Hurricane Center, "We can estimate by satellite what the strength and size of a hurricane is. But only if you go into the hurricane can you really get an accurate measure of its exact center location, the structure, the maximum winds."
