Fla. meteorologist’s ashes scattered into Hurricane Milton’s eye of the storm via plane to honor 44-year career

He’s now one with nature.

Storm hunters sprinkled the ashes of a beloved longtime meteorologist into the eye of Hurricane Milton by plane Tuesday night to pay tribute to his life’s work.

Peter Dodge worked as a weatherman for 44 years, specializing in radar and tropical cyclones, and was honored by NOAA Hurricane Hunters, according to First Coast News.

Dodge, who worked with the National Hurricane Center and Aircraft Operations Center, died March 3, 2023. The logistics of how his ashes were scattered into the storm weren’t immediately clear.
