Flying into hurricanes: From the Navy to NOAA
HILTON HEAD, S.C. — Sam Urato was 5 years old when his family loaded into a station wagon and fled Hilton Head Island ahead of Hurricane Hugo.
This week, he's headed in the opposite direction. He's flying into the teeth of Hurricane Dorian.
Urato is a hurricane hunter.
He's one of the select few who board NOAA airplanes that chase all the tropical storms and hurricanes that threaten the United States.
