NOAA #HurricaneHunter mission en route to #Idalia early Monday morning.

LUFFYS that I will never get around to fully finishing (and a single Zoro)

Here's the view from within the eye of the hurricane, taken by NOAA's Hurricane Hunter aircraft N43RF Miss Piggy, a WP-3D Orion.

The so-called Stadium Effect is in full view.

Surprisingly, the Hurricane Hunter aircraft actually fly straight through the eye wall. It's incredibly calm within. They measure wind speed, direction, air pressure, etc. with dropsondes.

A gorgeous, upclose view of Hurricane Beryl's clear eye.

Beryl has now become the first June Category 4 hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Basin. I can't even stress enough just how completely absurd that storm is.

Satellite: GOES-16 Product: Visible (band 2) Instrument: ABI

A lot of storm chasers don’t just go after tornados. In fact, a large amount of them also go after hurricanes. Kate and Tyler are hands down the tornado-whisperers, but what if Javi’s specialty is hurricanes?

The military deals a lot more with hurricanes than they do tornados, and given that more military bases are at the mercy of hurricanes, it makes sense that Javi would have spent more time with them. But maybe the Tornado Wanglers hadn’t branched out into hurricanes before.

Maybe they notice Javi missing from the parking lot party and find him sitting on the bed of a motel room with the tv on a weather channel covering this massive hurricane headed towards the east coast, phone on speaker as he talks to an old military buddy while he’s looking over data and models on his laptop.

Hello everyone. I’m Vincent, or the gimmick hurricane hunter. Wanna know something about a hurricane or got a storm that needs a takin a look at? I’m your guy.

*huffs* I’ve been informed that I need to tell you all a bit about me. Not really my thing but it looks like I’ve got no choice:

- he/him pronouns, he/they if we’re close but only if we’re close.

- card games are my favorite pastime, specifically spades. I also draw from time to time

- I have a cat. She’s a very sweet kitty.

Goodbye for now everyone. I’m sure we’ll meet again.

hi everyone I made another gimmick- this is really just an excuse to talk about hurricanes

Please feel free to send asks/tag me in things/chat

But I do have something’s that I ask you don’t bring up to me:

- no political or religious things. You will be blocked if you try to talk to me about these things or if you tag me in them

- dni if you harbor any hate towards any group in the lgbtqia+ community. I myself am transmasc, gay, and demiaroace and won’t tolerate hate. Also if you’re just a creep don’t interact with me

- do not be horny/nsfw in my posts please. Take it to the dms if you want, anywhere but my posts

Now that that’s all said, here’s a look at Vincent!

(Full credit to the maker of the picrew, I just haven’t had time to draw him yet)

Now to tag some people so they know I exist-

i read the last quest and now i gotta ask: how about the pussy. where is it. WH- (jk)

she is ok and at home 👍

[sunshine-gumdrop]

Oh boy it must smell in those suits...

Lol, hunter...

Gritty would drown iceburgh

[cheapbourbon]

‘It doesn’t fucking snow in Luxor’ was the working title for this. Really it just entertains me that of the three of them, only Jake is comfortable in the snow, Khonshu and Badr would be miserable. 🤣

Bonus PNG sexy pidgin for all your bird dad needs.

Full info for the Monster Hunter x Digimon device is here, including pre-order video & pictures. Ok, goodnight.

Just curious, where do the lowland curbs go during a volontaro? I assume the highland ones have a nice tall cave somewhere!

Ah, good question. One might also ask where ferryshaft went who were living on the far side of the island before the war. It's implied that there have long been a population of ferryshaft, creasia, and telshees who shared the Great Cave during the volontaro and were committed to a truce during that time. This truce pre-dates the war by many generations and might even pre-date the creasia's ability to speak. It's safe to assume that the creasia have always lived mostly near the Great Cave. Their range is limited by their favored prey (deer) and habitat (dense forests). The Great Cave has always been their preferred refuge. The ferryshaft, however, are much more flexible. For most of ferryshaft history, herds would have been scattered all over the island. The Great Cave can't be the only safe place. I'm talking about this like I don't know the answer, because I don't. If I haven't committed to some world-building detail in the text, it's always up for grabs in future stories. I intentionally leave lots of loose ends, so that I have interesting places to go and things to discover and room to maneuver. So bearing in mind that I could change this later, I'll say that the lowland curbs probably have many different nooks and crannies where they shelter, and these locations have been passed down as carefully guarded secrets within various packs. If the pack is wiped out, the knowledge may be lost. Lowland curbs are tribal and territorial. Packs may cooperate on some large project for a while, but they are prone to bickering and feuding and never quite trust each other. They are much smaller animals than creasia or ferryshaft, and they also live in smaller groups, so a pack of curbs could take refuge some place that would be inadequate for ferryshaft or creasia. Lowland curbs also have a semi-opposable thumb, and they do build things (traps everyone knows about, but also other things). It is not inconceivable that they might build something like a boat or temporary floating structure. It's not impossible to survive in the open during a volonto. The risks would be drowning, getting sucked up by a tornado, or being hit with flying debris. There are also weirder risks, like getting fatally injured by a shark in the middle the plain or stung by a jelly fish. Since it is a magical storm, one might also fall through a randomly opening other way. :)

Sneak peeks for the next projects I'm doing 👍

[shuttlecarrier]

I need to hire someone to dangle an anvil over me and it gets dropped on my head if I add more airplane-adjacent worldbuilding to my world instead of doing what I'm supposed to do. like writing about the actual story.

SciShow explains how Hurricane Hunters do their job

I reblogged a tumblr post about NOAA earlier today. The video from YouTube underscores how important Hurricane Hunters are, and it shares data about how dangerous their mission is. It's 10 minutes long, and it's time well spent. Project 2025 wants to outsource or privatize weather prediction. How anyone thinks that's a good idea, I can't comprehend.

hm.

mm? Anything I can help ya with?
