SUMMARY: Meteorologist Taylor Graham spoke with Master Sergeant Nate Callaway of the Hurricane Hunters at KLER Air Force Base, who shared insights before their mission into Hurricane Milton, currently a major storm in the Gulf of Mexico. Callaway, a dropsonde operator, explained that his role involves deploying weather instruments to gather critical data for the National Hurricane Center. They focus on the storm’s eyewall to help refine forecasts and track its path, which could impact Florida. Each mission lasts about nine hours, and conditions can vary significantly during each pass through the storm, making their work vital during hurricane season.

SUMMARY: Long Beach city leaders are progressing towards repairing the storm-damaged harbor, following Hurricane Zeta’s destruction of piers and docks in October 2020. In a recent meeting, aldermen voted to solicit bids for inner harbor repairs. Although FEMA awarded the city $2.58 million, rising costs due to inflation may exceed this amount. FEMA will reimburse the actual repair costs, prompting the city to finalize expenditure estimates. Harbor improvement efforts will continue under the current administration until June 30, with additional work underway on the inner bulkhead wall funded by Tidelands Gulf Restoration and Gilsa funds.
