The Air Force Reserve released a time lapsed video on their Hurricane Hunters Twitter page on Wednesday of what it looks like to fly through Hurricane Irma.
The sped-up footage, credited to Air Force Maj. Kendall Dunn, shows the aircraft navigating through clouds from the Hurricane.

Earlier in the day, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration also shared video from the perspective of a “Hurricane Hunter” aircraft — a WP-3D Orion according to Time — flying through Irma, which is currently a Category 5 hurricane heading through the Caribbean on its way to Florida.
