In an extraordinary tribute, the ashes of Peter Dodge, a respected NOAA Hurricane Hunter, were released into the eye of Hurricane Milton last Tuesday. As a dedicated meteorologist, Peter spent his life studying and chasing hurricanes, working onboard aircraft to gather critical data on these powerful storms. His final journey fittingly ended where his passion began—inside a hurricane.

Peter’s remarkable career spanned 44 years, during which he made significant contributions to hurricane research, collaborating with the National Hurricane Center and receiving numerous awards for his work.
