The team from NOAA gathered data on the storm, which is expected to be one of the worst to hit the US in decades. Joe Biden warned that evacuation orders for residents in the storm’s path were a matter of ‘life and death’ as he announced that he had cancelled his trips to Germany and Angola to remain in the US as the storm hit.

  1. The fact there are comments crying about women which are completely unrelated to this video😂 men chose these jobs, go complain elsewhere.

  2. Lindsey Graham: “I’ve been going all over South Carolina, like most people I haven’t slept much. But look what’s going on in Israel. We have to help our friends to keep the war over there from coming here.”

  3. You can tell the difference between the civilian NOAA scientists and the military crew flying a hurricane hunter mission. NOAA civilians don’t secure lose objects on the plane as they fly through a hurricane, like zipping his pocket shut with his mobile phone and wallet. In front of the plane one of the NOAA scientists was using his hand to hold down his drink/food cooler.

  4. NOAA was flying an old P-3 Orion, not a C-130 Hercules. You can tell by the short wings, the type of turbo engines and the narrow fuselage with much less headroom. The inside of a C-130 would be larger to house cargo.
