Rika_Furude 08/21/25 6:10:12 AM #10:	Planes can usually fly through storms and high winds etc, especially big planes. If they couldnt, nobody would ever fly anywhere if planes were just falling out of the sky whenever there was any weather happening anywhere. How bad was the hurricane at that time in that area that the plane would have had to turn back? <cite>Rika_Furude posted [p:986160785] in Spirit Air...

That's the weakest quadrant of a hurricane, and it's just going through the outer bands. This. While a hurricane may look like a massive ball of death from satellite photographs, the weather patterns within are quite varied; if you're between the bands it might just feel like an above-average windy day.
