I won't go into more detail, but he had access to software none of the rest of us do. And I wasn't joking, he's a mod on Reddit.

Man, I won’t lie, I searched for every one of his posts in that thread. Not only did he help me, but I relayed his info to friends and family and coworkers who it really helped too.



Maybe he deserves an honorary square on storm bingo.

There’s an “X” to mark the spot.

Really dumb question but how do they know when they’re in the exact center?

the wind at the center of the storm is essentially 0

so the radar equipment guides them and they find the point in the eye where the winds are the calmest

Oh I know. I remember the thread well.

My point is his time on TD was so brief, yet so helpful, that I can't recall a single person here that left on such a high note. He didn't piss off a soul.

Flight level winds help. They fly quite low, relatively speaking, so even without a well defined eye, they know when the shite stops hitting the fan.

So what is LC looking at? Out of the eye wall? 100 mph max winds? I’ve got my American flag thong and flag ready for some killer shots during the storm

I’m making a sign to bring to the LSU at Missouri game that says “Laura is a bitch and Delta sucks dick too”

Edit: I’ve been drinking, maybe I shouldn’t do that

Wind speeds drop to about zero and they have an on board radar and a really good Met on board. Sometimes they miss by a little bit but that's why they do drops into the middle to confirm.
