I teach Drone Technology, so I am very confident what these babies can do. Inside the hurricane is a vacuum. That vacuum can get disrupted, the hurricane will fall apart. No moisture. No hurricane.

Science is one of my favorite classes along with weather.Math is my other. Kids in school are visited by me to help teach these subjects as a visitor. Every now and then I teach flight classes too. As an educator we must take education and our youths and put them first place. If not we will regret that we did not later. I made my choice. You make yours.
