Looks like things have stabilized over the last 12 hours as much as you could expect. Looking like Irma coming into Mia area as a cat 4 and buzsawing up the state. I'm in Pa headed back to VERO tomorrow night. My Co Captain Derek has the boat pretty well secure. I was wondering what Pascal and...
You just never know. No one expected Andrew to be the strength or tract it took until too late. I flew the first private relief flight into Homestead and the destruction was comparable to a nuclear blast. Never let your guard down.
Two systems being tracked as Invest 90 and 99 have the chance of being named. Best guess on timing I made here (not official). Ironically GFS and EURO are split on both systems. GFS aggressive on 99 but not 90 and EURO is aggressive on 90 but not 99. Strong high pressure in the Atlantic might be...

Been through 9 hurricanes 7 on board. This is the first time in 40 years I've left the boat. France's and Jeanne we were in the Ne eye wall and saw steady 120 but with this at 140 with 165 gusts it was time to go. I flew the first group of VNA Dr's and Nurses into Homestead after cat5 Andrew and...
