Hurricane Hunter's missions cut short from Hurricane Melissa's rough turbulence
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Hurricane Hunter P-3 Orion aircraft, known as "Kermit," had to cut a low-level flight short on Monday due to the crew encountering severe turbulence as Hurricane Melissa gained strength.
Melissa, now a Category 2 hurricane, will bring heavy rain from the Mid-Atlantic to New England as it heads toward Bermuda and Newfoundland, Canada.
