Here is a short video, a little over three minutes of a Hurricane Hunter flying through the eyewall of Hurricane Michael on or about October 9th.

The video below is from the Defense Video and Information Distribution Service aka DVIDS, B-Roll Hurricane Florence - Hurricane Hunters. Video shot on or about September 12, 2018 by Tech. Sgt. Chris Hibben, 4th Combat Camera Squadron. The footage is long, over 16 minutes, but there is some great footage of the crew deploying the instruments used to collect data from the Hurricane, footage of the view from the airplane of the Hurricane including what appears to be some footage from inside the eyewall. Here is the description from the DVIDS webpage where I got the embed code:
An Air Force reserve HC-130J Hercules attached to to the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flys aerial weather missions for the Hurricane Hunters into hurricane Florence, Sep. 12, 2018 out of the Savanah Air National Guard base, Georgia. The U.S. Air Force Reserve 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, or Hurricane Hunters, is conducting a storm tasking mission into Hurricane Florence, currently a category 4 storm.
