When I say this was the roughest flight of my career so far, I mean it. I have never seen the bunks come out like that. There was coffee everywhere. I have never felt such lateral motion.

Aboard Kermit (#NOAA42) this morning into Hurricane #Ian. Please stay safe out there.

We’re taking Kermit (#NOAA42) into Hurricane #Ian this morning.

The last picture shows every hurricane this aircraft has been through in its long history. Just #Fiona and #Ian are left off because we haven’t made the decals yet.
