I know who would fly through that storm. Actually...there is probably a live feed being set up in the eye wall right now!

Funny, I always thought his last name was Cantore, but apparently it's StormTracker. He was destined to be a meteorologist from birth.

That would be awesome... just dont eat greasy food before you go..

Yeah, I don't know about that. Click on the Flt Engineer Dewie Floyd's picture to the left. Link. I bet he goes to one of Tampa's Five Guys Famous Burgers and Fries before every flight. He probably has a greasy bag with him right now and a Corona stuffed under the seat.

Seriously though, if anyone ever wants to read first-hand accounts about island clima-info, weather discussions, local reports regarding tropical systems threatening the Caribbean or view uploaded photos from local damage from past storms, check out this website. Link. It's a volunteer network of local correspondents living in the islands who try get information out in a timely matter duing the months of June-November. There is a lot of Caribbean climatology info, weather links, distance calculators, hurricane tracking tools and a My Satellite feature where you can customize a close-up satellite image of your island of interest. It was quite interesting to read some of the posts from each island with relation to the past TS/hurricanes that have come through or presently approaching. Props to Gert, the creator, the maintainer and moderator of this 'dynamic' info website.

This guy now flies through every tropical storm. The one and only 'Tropical Weather Expert'. He's the original stormtracker. RIP JH.
