According to a Navy spokesperson I spoke with, the 11th hour decision to keep data flowing from the three weather satellites was due to critical feedback it received. A testament that our voices and concerns do very much matter. My full afternoon update ⬇️
BREAKING: Department of Defense Makes Eleventh Hour Decision to Maintain Critical Hurricane Satellites

Two periods of record-breaking tropical cyclone activity, each one marked by historic category 5 hurricanes.

In between, a record-breaking dearth of tropical activity.

The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane Season sure threw us a curveball.

My name is Sam and I chase hurricanes with my Dad. We do chase other weather events but our primary focus is tropical systems.

Here is a video from our recent chase of Hurricane Helene:
