Lakeland’s NOAA hurricane hunter base hit by coronavirus outbreak
Hi all! Another season already? Haven’t we had enough drama for one year?

We should be fortunate that there are no issues right now and this didn't happen in August or September. Hopefully no one is seriously sick.

Live about two miles from the airport and was down there yesterday. Their section is somewhat isolated but I hope they’ve got it under control and doesn’t effect operations.

IMO, for the entire season, at least one or two NHC meteorologists should work out of the backup site at WPC. That way, if an outbreak hits NHC, the WPC will have access to some NHC meteorologists.
