When Katrina came to the US, I was directed to make several flights in the area as it approached, and then right through the area of eye as it made landfall around New Orleans.
I made flights through the areas as the bands came ashore, but the later flights when I was assigned to fly down through the middle of the hurricane, I refused. The dispatchers seemed blissfully unaware that there was any hurricane at all "What hurricane?" I was contacted at one point by the chief pilot and threatened with my job every fifteen minutes, for five hours, under pressure to go. I still didn't go...but kept making printouts of the weather to save as evidence in the event he pushed it past the telephone and into the courtroom...which is where I'd gladly go for one foolish enough to question my decision not to fly in the weather.
