Thanks for the update, Hank. And the good word of nothing waiting in the wings...so to speak.

Recon has departed Emily, as of 0637Z, and are on their way home. That was one, long, mission.
They flew their first fix at 2327Z yesterday. Over 6 hours of storm time and they aren't home yet.
I bet they can't stand the "Emily" word. Like the "Dennis" word.
Bunny Rabbit storms this year...they keep going and going.




I saw on the scheule on NHC website that they were going to be doing that (flying in the storm for hours straight). But I guess NHC doesn't make all the recon data avail on its web site. How do you know all that info. Also if you had access to the data what did the winds in the NE quad look like over the six-hr period?
