it takes roughly 90 minutes to pass through the eye again... its a timing issue... we need to hit the fixes in a certain time window.

She should be back on forecast track shortly.

Lots of folks think that if he comes to their town that's where the storm is going to hit.

Lyn, As the plane flies through a storm, the SFMR detects microwave radiation naturally emitted from foam created on the sea by winds at the surface. Computers then determine wind speeds based on the levels of microwave radiation detected. I think early on when it was first deployed it was not right on the money and with time it has been tweaked to give a pretty accurate wind reading. In 2005 only the NOAA P3s had the SFMR, now the Air Force WC-130s have them too.
