Smoke alarms save lives! While changing your clocks, check the smoke alarms at your place for the expiration date (or manufacture date and add 10 years). After 10 years, you're due for a new one. @GCNNow

🌊🌀 The 53rd WRS “Hurricane Hunters” and @NAVOCEANO_SSC supported the @USNavyResearch SASCWATCH project by dropping ocean buoys ahead of Hurricane Lowell.
Videos show buoy drops and the red dots show buoy movement as the storm approaches. The buoys measure winds, waves, pressure and sea-surface temperature—revealing how hurricane winds impact waves and modulate hurricane intensity.

The data they collect allows scientists to map out the boundaries or fronts between the warm tropical water and normally cool water.

Our crews are currently flying Hurricane Lowell in the Pacific, gathering data real-time and sending to the NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center. The crews have seen a max wind speed at 150 knots and 927 milibars for barometric pressure and it shows strengthening.
Video and photos by pilot Maj. Forrest Heintz below shows what the eye of Hurricane Lowell looks like right now.
