Flying Hurricane Idalia

Departed KSRQ at 3500 ft in the steam gauge King Air 30 min ago. Heading approx 250. Am in or close to the eye. Lightning is spectacular and just like you would expect it be. WX RADAR looks convincing if not real 

Don’t take my word for it. Get flying and see for yourselves.

The Sky Awaits!

Currently heading north toward BUUOY and then to CIGAR in the A310.

I nominate you Btacon to search for me if I don't report back, you got me into this predicament.

Just NE of CIGAR, the worst weather I've seen in MSFS, but I'll grant you I didn't hurricane hunt last season or the season before that, and I don't normally fly into weather if I can help it.  Lightning everywhere, no visibility.  Baro is *29.10* 

A couple of the lightning flashes were so bright they blinded me for a second (screen turned white).  Turning towards St. Pete and land, although I'm not landing there, I'm going to KMIA for a little calmer approach.  KTPA and PIE are socked in and gusty winds.
