From ABC 33/40 Weather Blog:

Here is your assignment:

Go add “AF Reserve Hurricane Hunters” fan page to your Facebook account.

She says they will also be doing storm updates on the fan page and on Twitter@403pa.

Show the men and women of the Hurricane Hunters how much we appreciate the invaluable job that they do. Become a fan and show your support with a post to this comment!

And tell all your friends!!!

Come join us if you are active on Facebook & Twitter. Starting this year we will be tweeting prior, during (if we have coverage) and after we land about what we are seeing in the storm.

The 403d is leading the Air Force on Social Media.

joined on facebook. Though I'm a little surprised that it's a group, rather than a "page". It seems that the pages that people can become fans of seem a little better suited to sending information to large numbers of followers, while the groups seem to be better for smaller amounts of people, with less public appeal.
