In the hours after Hurricane Beryl made landfall on the island of Carriacou, a floating ocean drone intercepted the northern edge of the historically powerful storm in the violent Caribbean Sea.
The uncrewed research vessel, dubbed a saildrone, crossed paths with Hurricane Beryl 100 nautical miles south of Puerto Rico on Tuesday morning, according to California-based data company Saildrone Inc. The drone was less than 100 nautical miles from the Category 5 storm’s eye.
Dramatic footage documented by the drone shows waves towering over 25 feet tall, the same size of the saildrone if it was flipped vertically. The vehicle was in tropical storm conditions as gusts blew around 61 mph, according to the company.

"Dramatic footage shows waves over 25 ft tall." Um ok. Slow day at the office huh?

@wayofthekodiak3118 29 күн бұрын

Dramatic would be "120 ft tall waves nearly tip over drone while recording hurricane footage. Cruiseship can be seen in the distance capsizing"

Ummm….28 knots is 35 mph. And, big swells but nothing ridiculously large. This is the drone version of opening Al Capone’s vault 😂

@28ebdh3udnav 29 күн бұрын

You fail to understand what this captured. The mast was 25 feet up above sea level. One one point, you see the water go above eye level with the camera which shows said wave was over 25 feet tall. Doesn't look like much but when you go to the beach, those waves are small. Even if they're "small" in a hurricane like this, you will be swept away. One minute you are on a boat, the next, you are about 100 feet from your boat, another 5 minutes, you are 100 yard, another 10 to 15, you are 400 yards away from your boat. Better kiss your ass good bye
