If you are near or on the coast and it’s a Cat 2 or bigger it’s better to leave

It's important to note the high level of research and statistical rigor of such a prediction.

They are about to pass for the fifth time. How much of a beating can these planes take??


They fly with the rotation of the storm and it’s actually not as dangerous as you’d think

It would have to be because I'd think it was insanely fricking dangerous. I wonder how rough of a ride it is in a G-IV.

Lots of people get ocean front hotels here during hurricanes. Guess they figure it’s safer than their house and more amenities should things go really bad.

Kind of related, but no details on the flight. 8 minute watch for those killing time.

I mean...do you really want to risk being forced to stay home with an infant due to late decision-making? I'd prepare the house and get out of there before you have to deal with a mass exodus traffic situation.

Yeah you never hear about any accidents so it can't be as crazy as it sounds. Didn't they used to fly in C-130's? I wonder if the smaller but faster bizjet is better than the old turboprops.
