ONLY ON 2: Hurricane Hunters fly KPRC 2 inside the eye of Hurricane Helene
SUMMARY: Hurricane Hunters, a team of skilled pilots, meteorologists, and scientists, play a crucial role in hurricane forecasting by flying directly into storms. Recently, they flew into Hurricane Helen, gathering vital data for the National Hurricane Center. Gage Golding from KPRC 2 was granted exclusive access to join their mission, which involved pre-flight checks and an intense 10-hour journey aboard a specially outfitted WC-130J aircraft. They collect critical information on wind speed, pressure, and temperature, continuously transmitting updates every ten minutes. Despite the challenging conditions, their efforts significantly improve storm forecasts and preparedness.
Their job is considered one of the most important parts of forecasting a hurricane.
Known by their nickname, the โHurricane Hunters,’ members of the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron fly right into the eye of tropical systems to help keep you and your family safe.
Stationed at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, the Hurricane Hunters is a component of the 403 Wing of the U.S. Air Force. They’re the only routinely flying weather reconnaissance team in the world.

Florida braces for dangerous, powerful Hurricane Helene
SUMMARY: Florida is preparing for Hurricane Helen, with Lee County already experiencing flooding and rough surf. The storm is expected to bring gusts of 130-140 mph, particularly concerning for residents in Tallahassee. The main threat is the storm surge, potentially reaching dangerous heights. Additionally, strong winds could uproot large oak trees and cause power outages, following recent tornadoes that left parts of the city without power. Local officials and Florida State University students are taking precautions as the mayor warns this could be the strongest storm Tallahassee has faced in its history. Preparations are ongoing throughout the state.
Helene is expected to be a Cat. 4 storm with life-threatening storm surge and catastrophic flooding when it makes landfall in Florida’s Big Bend area Thursday night.

Murder suspect arrested again for 2021 stabbing | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Antoine Jr, 22, was arrested in Temple on September 12 for a first-degree murder warrant linked to the stabbing of 23-year-old Nicholas Martinez in July 2021. The assault, deemed a random act of violence, was believed to be motivated by car theft. Initially, Antoine Jr was released on a $150,000 bond just four days after his first arrest, raising concerns due to his criminal history. After further complications within the justice system, he was arrested again for the murder, with Austin police recommending no bond. A Travis County Judge subsequently set his bond at $10 million for the capital murder charge.
New details have been released about the charges against the suspect in the murder of an Austin man in 2021.
