SUMMARY: The hurricane hunters at Keesler Air Force Base are preparing for the 2025 season, urging Mississippians to stay ready. Each year, 10 aircraft from the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron fly into hurricanes to collect critical data. They drop instruments into the eyewall to measure wind speed, direction, and pressure, which helps predict the storm’s path. This data is sent to the National Hurricane Center and used by local authorities to issue evacuation orders. Crews emphasize the importance of their work despite the risks, urging the public to heed evacuation orders, especially for storm surge and flooding, which are often the deadliest elements.

SUMMARY: John highlights the importance of the heart and CPR in saving lives. Al Wright from North Mississippi Emergency Services explains that sudden cardiac arrest causes death every 90 seconds, and hands-only CPR can help by circulating oxygenated blood to the brain and organs. CPR classes last 15-20 minutes and teach chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth breathing, emphasizing the importance of rhythm and practice on mannequins. North Mississippi EMS offers free CPR and first aid workshops. CPR can mean the difference between life and death, since EMS response typically takes 5-10 minutes, but brain damage starts within 4 minutes. Classes can be scheduled by calling 662-844-5870.
