Peter Dodge, a meteorologist who flew into hurricanes on “Miss Piggy”, a P-3 Orion operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, had his ashes dropped into Hurricane Milton’s eye as it was approaching Florida.

Dodge was a Noaa meteorologist of 44 years and died in 2023. Noaa hurricane hunters dropped his ashes inside Milton’s eye on Tuesday in a tribute to his life...

“Peter truly had an unyielding passion for participating in field activities, including flying, and an insatiable curiosity for research,” said Shirley Murillo, deputy director of the Noaa’s hurricane research division.

“By releasing his ashes into Hurricane Milton, we sought to honor his memory and his spirit of teamwork, adventure and curiosity.”
