He didn't go over it. Hermine was topping out at 65,000 yesterday and the flight was scheduled at 39,000.

I believe the Flight Aware screen shot is showing the weather at the time of the screen capture not at the time the plane transitioned the airspace.

Based on the information provided the capture is 25 minutes after the plane arrived at the gate. Plus the eye is probably an hour back on his flight path.

However.....
From my perspective that is still danger close to a storm of that magnitude and I wouldn't want to fly it.
