How’re the winds looking right now?

But im at the back so if people drop off radar i have a Plan B lol
I’m coming down. Hopefully things are still windy.

Took off from Hilo a couple minutes ago. Winds are already pretty hefty with some moderate turbulence. I suggest everyone come down while you still can!
Winds are currently 69 kts and moderate to extreme turbulance at 3000ft on the north end of the hurricane.
Will be with you guys in less than an hour
N1JC ETE 7 minutes at MACH 2. (Will slow down don’t worry)
Hitting 92kts+ at 5000ft on the south end
ETE 40min. Atm. Pressure is dropping
Is anyone inside the eye of the hurricane?
Yep! A group of us just found it. Winds are a calm 24 kts.
Eye location is: 1395n/15226w
Had to leave early due to an unexpected obligation :( never got to experience the hurricane. Hope everyone has fun though.
If anyone can get a screenshot with me in the grade 5 tag that’ll be great thanks.🙂
Thanks to those who came out. Hope you had some fun. For those who are still enroute, see if you can find the eye. It will likely be introduced by a spike in wind followed by a rapid decrease in wind.
