Did you know our TTU Hurricane Research Team (TTUHRT) deployed on Hurricane Laura this week? The team was able to deploy 36 StickNets and capture mobile Doppler Radar data of the storm as she made landfall! It was excellent work by the team making Hurricane Laura one of the most measured major hurricane to make landfall in the United States.
