Keesler AFB hurricane hunters gear up for 2025 season
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.
