Lt. Cmdr. Josh Rannenberg, lead pilot of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Hurricane Hunters, experienced firsthand the rapid intensification of Hurricane Milton as he flew into the storm on Wednesday. He witnessed the hurricane grow from a tropical storm to a Category 5 monster within two missions, a rate he's never seen before.
Lt. Cmdr. Josh Rannenberg, lead pilot of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hurricane Hunters , has been diligently monitoringRannenberg flew into the hurricane at 3 a.m. Wednesday, making at least four passes through the storm to sample each quadrant on a nine-hour mission. The information he and his team gathered goes directly to the National Hurricane Center during the flight so they can update the forecast and advisories before landfall, expected Wednesday night.
Residents were warned by the National Weather Service to shelter in place as Milton approached Florida's west coast. Rannenberg experienced what he calls the "stadium effect" as he flew into the eye of the hurricane, he told ABC News. Rannenberg has flown over numerous hurricanes over the years, but said Milton is on a different level.
