Purpose and Disclaimers 

This website was launched in October 1996 by two former Hurricane Hunters with a vision, Scott Gibbins and Jeffrey Long, and made possible with invaluable contributions from many other present and former Hurricane Hunters.

Purpose:

  • Show how and WHY we fly into hurricanes

  • To share cool pictures from INSIDE hurricanes

  • IMPORTANT: If you are being threatened by a tropical cyclone:
    o Please listen to your local authorities and media (TV, radio, etc.)
    o Do NOT look on this website for any warnings or advisories: we are flying hurricanes, not updating this website!
