Hurricane Hunter in Puerto Rico

We recently had the pleasant visit in Mayaguez, on the West coast of our Island of the Hurricane Hunter from the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Of course the purpose of this visit is due to very unpleasant reasons. We will soon be reaching our hurricane season. Probably sooner than expected because lately everything has changed greatly even with respect to the weather.

A great number of public including thousands of children with parents and school teachers had the opportunity of boarding the Hurricane Hunter and were able to observe all the instruments that are used by meterologists on board to follow the course of storms and hurricanes.

The purpose of this visit is to alert the general public with respect to the hurricane season and to create awareness about the need that, not only the citizens, but also the government should have and how they should be prepared. They spoke to us about the 2005 hurricane season which resulted very active with regard to cyclones and they anticipated that in the next few years these types of atmospheric phenomenons will increase due to the heating of the earth.

This plane's crew is in charge of receiving all the information pertinent to nature phenomenons so that the agencies and all the citizens should be aware of its efects and course and may take the necessary precautions.
