Category Five (2004)
“For the last three hours she’d been at her lab, sitting in front of the computer screens, working with Jonah and a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reconnaissance flight. The NOAA aircraft had been making runs into Helena, flying precise paths in relation to Jonah. Using perspectives from the two Doppler systems, Lauren and NOAA had painted the first 3-D picture of the inner workings of a category five hurricane.
The turbulence had driven the four-engine P-3 farther and farther o...ut from the eye. They were now at the outer reaches of Jonah’s range. But the results so far had been staggering. Helena was rapidly becoming the most powerful hurricane of the last decade. Her sustained winds were building upward of 195 mph. The pressure was so low that tons of sea-water were being lifted as the ocean bowed up within the eye.
Lauren was still haunted by the reports from the USS Thorn. The 563-foot warship had been severely battered as it traversed its way out of the storm. Reinforced armor plated metal had torn and buckled by the force of eighty-foot waves.MoreLess
