The tribute to NOAA radar specialist and researcher Peter Dodge took place less than 24 hours before Milton made landfall in Siesta Key near Sarasota, Florida. As an award-winning scientist, Peter Dodge had made hundreds of flights into the eyes of hurricanes—almost 400. On Tuesday, a crew on a reconnaissance flight into Hurricane Milton helped him make one more, dropping his ashes into the storm as a lasting tribute to the longtime National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration radar specialist and researcher.“It’s very touching,” Dodge’s sister, Shelley Dodge, said in an interview Thursday with the Associated Press.
