   Corpus Christi and Galveston are among the five Gulf Coast cities that will be visited by a hurricane hunter aircraft the week of April 14.
   The public will be allowed to tour the aircraft as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's effort to raise awareness that hurricane season begins June 1.
    The first stop on the tour will be the Corpus Christi International Airport on Monday, April 14, when the Orion hurricane hunter will be available for tours from 3 to 5 p.m.
    A hurricane hunter will be at Scholes International Airport in Galveston Tuesday, April 15, from 3 to 4:30 p.m.
    Bill Read, the new director of the National Hurricane Center, will join the flight crew and scientists at Corpus Christi and Galveston. Read was the head meteorologist at the Houston-Galveston weather office before taking the job at the hurricane center.

   Let me know how it was if you get to make one of the tours.
