The glider, called Jai Alai, was already in the water when the storm came through. USF said it was the only research vessel in the storm’s path. My story today out of the @USFCMS ⬇️ baynews9.com/fl/tampa/news/2…

On May 2nd, a devastating structure fire engulfed the @USFCMS Marine Science Laboratory, destroying equipment, disrupting research, and displacing more than 125 people. The damage was significant, but instead of stopping, a team of #USF oceanographers raced back out to sea, determined to keep critical hurricane forecasting systems running for the communities that depend on them. Bold Research. Real Impact. 🔗: bit.ly/4wjnmmW
