Not sure what your looking for exactly but I found this recon site that gives far more stuff I do believe https://cyclonicwx.com/recon/mission/HELENE_NOAA2_1709A/

What a nice eye.

Buoy data says the eye has passed it The pictures that the buoy is sending back are pretty cool looking

ADT satellite estimates suggest we have leveled off.

Noaa plane is back to normal teal getting closer to center and that other random fake recon plane is now missing from radar

Teals already started sampling.

Well there up to about 12 loops so one of these numbers must be the center...

Buoy must of taken a bit but still alive!

Yeah with teal enroute and being the low pressure sample earlier, I'd guess the same thing. But I really hope it's not mechanical

6 loops later at 8 thousand feet and there still sampling the eye...

Give them credit for being so determined to find the center

Lmao sorry can't help but laugh at this path, 943 lowest plane recorded.

Teal heading to storm, noaa doing loop de loops around the "center" looking at plane tracker. Must of missed center.

Just updated satellite estimate, let's see how it matches up with next recon pass.

Looks brutal in the Gulf!

Waves are still updating It appears, nearing 25 feet!

We may of lost the buoy...

I'm afraid there could be many lives lost, and many trees lost. The timber industry, farmers are going be hurt badly. There's nothing good about this situation at this point.

My God, look at far east those crazy winds extend, not sure how much of that mixes down to surface but I hope people run for there lives if they haven't yet! And to note, that is the buoy by the center, looks like it will go just east of it!

Nhc 6 pm winds are 125 mph. Was corrected

Flight level winds 113-137 knots if I have my colors correct on the recon map?! Jeez And lowest pressure I could see was 946.2mb

Wow satellite pressure estimates were 930 or 940 something and I thought they were crazy.. but recon finding 946... matches the recon findings fairly well.

No worries per buoy site there's no buoys in gulf measuring that high

946ish too! It flew east and it was going down
