Im a major fan of Stormchasers on discovery channel, mainly due to reed timmer, awesome guy very passionate about his field of science.

 

came across this someone had posted on his facebook feed, must of been a US only thing but i found it quite funny considering.

 

For those that do not watch storm chasers, reed and the TVN (tornadovideos.net) team built the dominator it was tested on myth busters to speeds of 350kph, its strange looks are designed to help the air flow around the vehicle instead of under it, so in effect its "tornado proof" to a certain extent, its also covered in protective panels to help with the occupants from flying debris kicked up by tornado, it had weather data instrumentation on it as well as probe launchers to fire probes into tornadoes to gather wind speed and other readings. they are also on the forefront of warning those in firing line of tornadoes.

watched storm chasers yesterday for the first time and enjoyed it. They seemed a little apprehensive taking there kit into some of the tornado's, not surprised looking at the power harnessed in those things.

I thought one of the storm chasing vehicles looked like it had Z inspired lights.

They also need a tornado warning speakers/messages on their vehicles.

Would love to go storm chasing as part of the bucket list.

Probably best leaving it until last.

If you can find 2010's series to watch, you should, google Yazoo tornado 2010, will give you an idea as to why they didnt take their vehicles closer to the ones of last year.

Nice one. Will check it out
