A thread of videos from today’s flight into Hurricane Melissa In this first one we are entering from the southeast just after sunrise and the bright arc on the far northwest eye wall is the light just beginning to make it over the top from behind us.

Second pass through Hurricane Melissa entering from the southwest side. Passed NOAA in the eye wall as they headed outbound for home. Obviously a very powerful storm but a relatively straightforward one on this flight. Much less nasty meso activity than 36 hours ago.

Third pass through Melissa. GoPro in side window as different camera looking forward shooting in ultra high res 8k. Not sure when that might get processed as the file turned out ridiculous. Barely had HD space for it and MacBook Pro promptly chocked when I tried to edit it

This is INCREDIBLE inside the eye footage!

Fifth and final pass through Hurricane Melissa for our crew today. Just after noon entering from the NW corner exiting SE.

Hurricane Melissa still photo thread… most of these are taken with a Canon USA Pro R5 with 11mm lens but a few were taken with my iPhone. If you are media and want to use them please go look on DVIDs.

It was a nice clear eye

It’s like a giant crescent moon of light creeping down

Just some INSANE footage in the eye of Melissa in 4K!

👁️ The eye of the storm. 🌀 On 28 Oct, Hurricane Melissa - the strongest in 🇯🇲 Jamaica’s history - made landfall with winds up to 298 km/h and pressure of 892 hPa. 🛰 The eye was captured by #CopernicusEU #Sentinel2. 🔗 copernicus.eu/en/media/image… #ImageOfTheDay

Direct hit! A beautiful, full-halo CME is now leaving the Sun following the X1.2 flare, and it's heading right for us. We'll have to see what the models think about this one, but we now have two Earth-directed CMEs coming at us and a good chance for geomagnetic storms Nov 11-12.

ITS TIME!!! Headed to the North land of South Dakota tomorrow to hopefully experience more views like these! I think G3 to maybe G4 is possible, especially if todays X1.2 flare cannibals yesterdays X1.7. A one-two punch incoming!!!

Beautiful halo CME associated with the latest X5.1 flare as captured by the compact coronagraph on GOES-19 (CCOR-1). Stay tuned about the possible impact of this CME on Earth.

OMGGGGGGG this is INCREDIBLE #sdwx

TONIGHT IS INSANEEEEE AHHHHHHH #sdwx

I'm going to have so many photos to come, so get comfortable with aurora content. But, this one had to be posted first. If you can believe it, this is looking SOUTH near Buffalo, South Dakota and as the corona was absolutely ripping overhead with reds and greens a big fireball of

Night number 2 of scoring! Not as far south with the aurora tonight just yet! #sdwx

Big substorm! #sdwx
