Thank you so much for all your efforts to keep us posted & updated so often. I know my family appricates this.

Definitely. I've had a few rides on the Hurricane Hunter in my day and we didn't call it the Comet for nothing.

I don't think it'll be too bad, but be prepared for a pretty bumpy ride just in case. If turbulence makes you nervous, check the links under the travel impact section in the forecast.

Lol.

I did read the links, but didn't understand them very well. I will handle turbulence much better knowing it is probably from the weather though and not a catastrophe waiting to happen. Thanks for keeping me updated for our trip.

The main thing to understand is this - turbulence can cause the plane to move up and down, but picture it like a boat on the waves. We don't worry about a boat sinking as it rides the waves. The same goes for planes. The atmosphere actually operates very similar to the oceans, so calling planes "airships" is very accurate.

The other thing to remember is that because you are moving forward at a high rate of speed, a 50 foot sudden drop in altitude will feel like a 500 foot drop. During severe turbulence it always feels MUCH worse than it actually is. Keep those two things in mind and it shouldn't be too bad for you. Have a great trip!

Thank you for that simile. I will keep it in mind when we get on the plane in 7 hours.

Oct 8-17 looks completely the same today. Highs in the low to mid 80s, lows in the upper 60s, and mostly dry conditions with only a very slim chance of a pop up afternoon shower. Obviously, things can change in voodooland, especially with the tropics staying active, but the models have all dropped the idea of the Oct 12-13 hurricane.

Thats our entire trip!!!

I am liking that outlook alot better than worrying about a hurricane.
