During a mission to collect crucial storm data, NOAA Hurricane Hunters braved intense turbulence while flying into the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Polo over the eastern Pacific. Footage captures the harrowing ride as the flight engineer meticulously managed engine power to maintain a steady airspeed of 210 knots. Peaking with a central pressure of 892 millibars—making it the second-most intense eastern Pacific hurricane on record—the storm was fueled by exceptionally warm El Niño waters.
