I've never flown into a Hurricane, but I did have one "fly" over me, when I was 11. I went for a swim in the bay, in the eye of that storm, Hurricane Carol. The "trip in", was rough, the eye was fantastic!!, the "trip out" was abject terror.
"The pressure had dropped so quickly, it affected the "relative" height of the airplane and they nearly flew it right into the ocean without every knowing it."
I have "flown into" the Ocean.......in a Hurricane....in a FRAM II Sumner class Destroyer!
The ship was designed for the sea, a C130 might have had a bit of a hard time maintaining "water tight integrity".

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
