CNN’s Aaron Cooper is riding along with Hurricane One. He posted this dispatch on CNN.com:
“We are kind of a strange sight going down the road. Hurricane One has two antennas (that look like giant, upside-down salad bowls) attached to the top. The plan is for four people (reporter, producer, photographer and engineer) to ride in that, and I will follow in the chase vehicle.
That SUV has 25 gallons of gas in 5-gallon cans tied down to its roof. Inside we have several days worth of non-perishable food — tuna, mixed nuts, Beef-A-Roni and canned stew that can be eaten cold (it doesn’t taste as bad as it sounds), and lots of bottled water. When you are working on a hurricane you can’t go through a drive-through for lunch.”
