TS Lee

The sun sets as the clouds break after the WC-130J aircraft penetrates Tropical Storm Lee Sept. 2. The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron “Hurricane Hunters,” were gathering atmospheric data on the storm to send to the National Hurricane Center. The crew evacuated the aircraft to Houston ahead of the wind and rain from Tropical Storm Lee set to impact Keesler Air Force Base over Labor Day weekend. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.
