Tequila Ted Dives into the EYE......

when he asked, "rosemary, where do hurricans come from?"

"Hmnn...well, the Gulf, I guess," I replied, but because I had no real answer, I did a computer search. There I found this cute guy.....

We don't know his real name, so TED decided to call him "Hurricane BOB."

Well, BOB is a pilot who flies into the eye of HURRICANES! He is a real Hurricane Hunter!
"The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, known as the Hurricane Hunters of the Air Force Reserve, is one-of-a-kind: the only Department of Defense organization flying into tropical storms and hurricanes on a routine basis."(from their webpage.)
OOOOH that is so scary!
So BOB invited TED to join him on a hurricane reconnaissance mission--to fly into the EYE and measure it! WOW!

real pictures of Georges
"Everyone was awed to find this stadium effect, where you feel as though you are inside a giant football stadium made of clouds. The clouds arch up and away, far above your head. The aircraft is two miles high (10,000 feet), while the top edge of these clouds may be perhaps 50,000 feet high. It is a humbling sight which even few Hurricane Hunters have witnessed."(from their webpage)
