Durante a passagem do furação Irene na costa leste dos Estados Unidos, os meteorologistas do aeroporto JFK em New York City tiveram que evacuar o aeroporto, assim como todo o resto do povo que trabalha aí. Desde a evacuação até o retorno deles, a estação ficou emitindo METARs automáticos a cada poucos minutos, tamanha era a variação das condições observadas pela estação.
Os picos dos ventos estão destacados em negrito. A unidade de velocidade na aviação é nós (kt), que é 1,852 km/h.
Na observação em vermelho, se a mesma estiver correta, provavelmente era o olho do furação sobre o aeroporto, com apenas 5kt de vento. Detalhe para o termo “SKC” (skies clear), que significa céu aberto. A observação pode estar errada também.
