Students join hurricane hunters as they prepare for historic Hurricane Beryl mission
A group of undergraduate students visiting USF as part of a summer research program got an unexpected and rare glimpse of the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Hurricane Hunters preparing to go on their first reconnaissance mission of the season. On July 2, the NOAA WP-3D Orion “Miss Piggy” flew into the eye of Cat 5 Hurricane Beryl. The photo was taken by Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Doremus, NOAA Corps.
