IRENE emerged into lower bay (SE of Staton Island) near the border of NY and NJ for fix 4 where a sonde was released. Note: ARWO computer locked up during mission download sequence. Never got the SFMR data file to save and portable hard drive crashed (5306). 10 AXBTS released on east side of storm during the mission. NOTE: The MC sitrep report says only two pennies, which is incorrect. We used the GPS system for fix 2 and 3 when it was just onshore. Aircraft was in the center of the storm. BIFF is not conning you!
