The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration–an agency which, contrary to Marjorie Taylor Greene‘s hypothesis, does not control the weather–announced that it had fulfilled the last wish of a long-time NOAA scientist who specialized in cyclone dynamics and dropped his ashes into the eye of Hurricane Milton on Tuesday night, First Coast News reports.
Peter Dodge, an honored 44-year NOAA employee who lived with vision disabilities, died in March 2023 and a research plane observing Milton deposited Dodge’s ashes in the storm’s eye as it peaked as a Category 5 hurricane before it hit Florida, noting the honor in its dispatch.
