Hurricane Hunters flyover cities
As the sun rises one-year after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a WC-130J Hurricane Hunter flies over citizens of Gulfport, Miss. gathered in memory of those lost to the worst natural disaster to ever strike the United States. The Hurricane Hunters are assigned to Air Force Reserve Command's 403rd Wing, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron which provides data to the National Hurricane Center improving forecasts by as much as 30 percent.
