Simon Brewer and Juston Drake are meteorologists and storm chasers currently featured on The Weather Channel’s series, Storm Riders.

The duo recently shared a viral video on Twitter of Juston venturing into Hurricane Irma to measure the wind speed in the storm’s eyewall. In a later tweet he said wind speeds were around 117 mph or 188 km/h.
