The storm chasers finally intercept a twister and take important readings from within the tornado. (From Discovery Channel's "Science of Storm Chasing")
It's called state government and federal government funding and we all know that the government can pull rabbits out of the hat if they so desire. Also it's a tornado warning upgrade by them being able to use and the drive the TIV virtually anywhere. So yes it is street legal.
It has all the things a vehicle needs to be road legal. Lights, signals, windshield wipers, license plate, weight max not surpassed (though the tiv can handle an EF4 at max), tires are street legal, horn works, etc etc. It's a bad ass futuristic Mad Max Fallout 3/NV/4 Wasteland Weekend kinda feeling vehicle.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the driver heard him the first 5 times when he said he had to gun it. And to keep saying that the driver needs to turn hard while the vehicle is already in the middle of the turn seems redundant as well. In planes there is a sterile cockpit during critical phases where the pilots only talk when absolutely necessary so everyone can concentrate on what they are doing. They should try it some time..
y'all are a riot. you really think you know better than these scientists? I'd bet my right nut most of you've never even seen a tornado and I'd bet my left that if you did you'd be less than half as competent
Jigsaw407 take a look at what they are doing and all they have to keep track of and in communication with either. now look at your suggestion. now look back at them. being silent doesn't seem like a very smart idea anymore does it?
Yeah seriously..."Da wind turn really really fast...da wind touch object and it break...broken object now become damage...So tornado make damage.." The whole video was pure cringe
When a tornado forms, it is built of wind and air that forms to create a huge funnel cloud. It is big and drops lots of debris, which causes damage. That funnel cloud spreads and creates more damage. It’s powerful, full of wind and moves, damaging anything in its path. That’s how a tornado creates damage, I think about everyone with common sense knows it.
Not entirely. The cyclonic forces within a tornado are only just now being fully understood, and it appears that a lot of tornados (perhaps all?) are composed of several tiny cyclones spinning rapidly to "form" the larger cyclone that we regularly view. This could impact how you would ideally build a structure for withstanding tornadoes. So yes, lots of wind, but the formation of that wind is what is important.
Yeah poor resource/personal management in a serious situation. I loved lead Gun Truck in Afghanistan. I was TC(Truck Commander) and rode shotgun, had a older PVT and experienced Gunner up in the turret and had an excellent SPC Driver at the wheel. No yelling or repeating was necessary, I trusted my Driver and Gunner completely. One direct command and my Driver would execute without hesitation. Something is blocking us? “Jump that median into the oncoming lanes.” Driver wouldn’t bat an eye and we’d be on the other side moving traffic out of our way for the rest of the convoy. I can’t see very well when starting to make a perimeter with our trucks? “Gunner, can’t see. You are in charge, position our truck. Then direct the rest of the trucks.” And boom, he would tell our Driver were to park so his gun would be in the best tactical position. Then he’d get on the radio and direct the trucks behind us to other good positions. And I would never need to step outside the truck or micro manage my team. If you are having to yell and rant, either you need to replace your Driver with someone better Or the problem is probably with your leadership and you should work on your shortcomings while learning to trust your team.
Chaser team members who just repeatedly shout the same thing over and over again, not listening or considering what other team members are saying are REALLY annoying! Lack of emotional control and maturity doesn't help achieve the team's objectives.
He's not doing it for saving lives, unfortunately. Mr "Sean" is just wanting him to do exactly what "he" wants for "his" storm footage with the camera. Not really to save lives. Most storm chasers aren't trying to save lives, they're trying to be the one who is acknowledged for finding and tracking "the big one" and selling the photos/videos to news stations.
jmr1068204 You do know what a storm chaser is right?Not only do they work take pictures but they also measure the wind speed,height and weath,predict how long it well last,and follow it around to predict its path.And yes they are actually stormchasers in fact Tim Samarus(along with his son Paul and his partner Carl Young) died on May 31 2013 while chasing a storm.
Judging by the fact they just gingerly drove through it, I guess it was an EF-0 (about the same as a dust devil). But not to knock it but good to keep in mind that the more robust storms may have a more complex structure in their funnels, including the number of vortexes and how they play off each other and drive the tornado overall.
That's like saying an earthquake does damage 'because it's strong'. That conveys zero scientific understanding, which is what is required to build structures more able to withstand earthquakes (and tornados).
This reminds me a decade or more ago, when this sort of video were featured at Discovery Channel, when DC was really interesting. I never get tired of watching this vide. : )
If i recall from watching the show years back it was proving to be very difficult to get inside one, ironically. It doesn't look like much, but I wouldn't want to open the door and stand out in it though. However I suppose it does technically qualify as a tornado.
I love how they made such a big thing about just "tuning right in the next exit". OMG we are so badass, we're giving complex orders to do simple things, yelling to the camera so It seems we are doing something so tough!! Meanwhile GoogleMpas would be like: "Turn righ in 40ft."
When you're in a tough, intense situation where you've got to make split, quick decisions, your voice tends to raise. It's emergency mode, it's a nontrivial level of fight-or-flight, adrenaline mode.
nuar Smile They aren't coming back . Matt commited suicide , Joel died on a cruise ship of an over dose of ecstasy , Tim and his bunch finally got to close to one, and were killed in the process .
BIGKRAUSE The drama isn't real, and I don't see them entering the tornado, so that might be faked as well. This show isn't science for men, it's entertainment for women
How do they do damage? For starters they can produce winds well over 200mph. They also gather up crap from structures it has destroyed and has all that spinning around inside and outside it. Like a 200mph spinning buzz saw or battering ram. They also produce a low pressure suction that can damage your ear drums. How do I know? Because I saw it first hand in 2011 in Tuscaloosa Al. How do they do damage he says.
I think they mean how tornadoes tear a building apart so they can build things that have a better chance of standing up against them or protecting the people inside to some degree. I can't imagine what you went through and I hope science goes forward in a way that you won't have to do it again.
streamofawareness I think our friend here is saying that these people have spent quite a bit of money over complicating a very simple answer to a simple question.
Dana Steele It’s not about how they do damage, it’s about how to avoid the damage being done, increase warning times, and understand how these dang things form in the for place. This season was in 2006 by the way. This was before we knew all we know now. Tornado warnings are now far more accurate. You also have much more time to get yourself to safety.
Lol storm chasers think they are scientists for gathering basic data a 100$ weather station could do. They kid themselves if they think they actually do good. They are just chasing their own adrenaline.
It seems to me that the energy of a tornado is concentrated in the funnel. Just thinking outside the box in a radical way, could another concentrated blast of energy disrupt it enough to weaken it or disrupt it?
Thats a good point. Most tornados dissipate when theres things on the ground blocking their path or slowing them down like large buildings or neighborhoods. Maybe a huge blast of air would dissipate it enough to lift for a short time. It would have to be an insanely huge blast of air over a large area so it would be impossible to do but its a cool idea.
A new application for RC drones! They can withstand super-high winds and carry TONS of instruments. Something that cost millions now can be done by every guy on the block. This is super good news for the future of Tornado and data gathering.
I've been very close to a tornado and you really can't control your emotions and you know the slightest mistake can cost you and your team your lives it's not a relaxing situation if they were calm I wouldn't trust them with my life
TIV 3 has a switch on the dashboard - every time it's flipped on, as rubber hand smacks Sean in the face, It's extra heavy duty and designed to be used every time Sean yells "Gun It!". Rumor is Reed Timmer's newst "Dominator" has the same set-up. These are truly extra- heavy-duty switches designed for constant use, and by God, they will be used a lot each spring.
Storm Chasers Hello thank you for always puttimg your lifely hood on the line to help up date the weather SUPER CELL. New Friend here thank you you agen For your help anf your WONDERFUL VIDEO'S
You can passivelly analyzing the kinethycal energy of the wind ultrasonic signature to determine the"ergonomic" signature of the air msases very easyly, maybee from your own shelters. Best regards from Cluj. Petru Răzvan Pop.
Ben Hostetter you are wrong... so Ssosoosososoososososo wrong. There have been countless deaths that maybe not even been "professionals " with cars like in this video. but what the comment said is don't try it which is completely a good thing to say considering some people think they can take their dodge neon down a dirt road and take so real close epic shots of the tornado.
The chaser community is 5% professional at most. The rest of us are amateur chasers who do exactly that. We are all very close-knit, and I've never heard of a chaser being killed by a tornado with the exception of El Reno.
I love the statement at the very end "Push our knowledge forward to know how tornadoes do damage" ...... Luckily I have the answer for you and I did not spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to come up with it..... They're windy genius.
my granpa lives in tulsa he's also crazy!! he would be out cutting the grass and an F3 would be on the ground right by his house like less than 1/2 a mile and hes still out there cutting the grass sayin dont worry about it it will pass! thats nuts and it does pass but still it could shift on him !!
The one issue or question I have about the TIV is, when driving to get into the tornado, wouldn't the tornado wind speed and pressure mesurements be effected or contaminated by the effect of driving through air thus increasing the windspeed on the vehicle?
If you see the way the panels on that vehicle are constructed & have basic knowledge in aerodynamics you will understand how they are successfully able to travel through a tornado without a getting scooped up. Still dangerous & risky? Absolutely. Nothing is really foolproof. If the windows were to get blown out the wind blowing into the vehicle would certainly lift the vehicle into the storm. The panels are down to the road preventing wind from blowing under the vehicle & placed at an angle forcing the wind to have run down the panels & the gravity effect causing the vehicle to remain grounded. If you’ve seen race cars & the panels on them you will have a better understanding of this.
No sir, he's got a fairly solid amount of metal on that thing. Moreover, he only seems to intercept them when they're in the field, where the amount of debris will be minimal and limited mostly to small things like rocks and bits of trees/wood. I suspect this is deliberate to avoid exactly that.
And the award for most annoying backseat driver of all time goes to... Shawn!
With amazing suggestions like "gun it as fast as you can gun it!", and "Go forward, GO FORWARD!"

Still wondering how that thing is road legal
Sketchy Vids it’s not but in these cases they can be pardoned.
It's called state government and federal government funding and we all know that the government can pull rabbits out of the hat if they so desire. Also it's a tornado warning upgrade by them being able to use and the drive the TIV virtually anywhere. So yes it is street legal.
It's built on a chassis that is road legal , so it's legal.
It has all the things a vehicle needs to be road legal. Lights, signals, windshield wipers, license plate, weight max not surpassed (though the tiv can handle an EF4 at max), tires are street legal, horn works, etc etc.
It's a bad ass futuristic Mad Max Fallout 3/NV/4 Wasteland Weekend kinda feeling vehicle.
Its legal causes its used for hunt tornado! Like in the storm movie!
too much yelling of orders to enjoy.

Rating is based off of damage. If an ef5 was in farmland not hitting anything it would be an EF-0
EF-0s are not like dust devils. An EF-0 can still put a hurt on you.
@@carlosismacat based off wind speed, which is estimated off damage
3:01 The main reason why winds in a tornado cause damage is because they are very strong.
no sherlock
No shit sherlock
Just kidding, but i think that was kinda obvious, right?
That's like saying an earthquake does damage 'because it's strong'. That conveys zero scientific understanding, which is what is required to build structures more able to withstand earthquakes (and tornados).

How the hell do you not understand how a tornado does damage. High speed winds+flying debris= destruction

Why do you cut off where the intercept begins? If not for free, why not provide us links where to find it?

How do they do damage? For starters they can produce winds well over 200mph. They also gather up crap from structures it has destroyed and has all that spinning around inside and outside it.

Damn I should've read the titles, thought it was finna be a video from inside
I want to try that too!
The vehicle is so cool lol
I have seen this one on a DVD
Tornades are not only wind. They often pack dangerous missiles like cars and building parts. That vehucle doesn't seem to withstand such missiles.
No sir, he's got a fairly solid amount of metal on that thing. Moreover, he only seems to intercept them when they're in the field, where the amount of debris will be minimal and limited mostly to small things like rocks and bits of trees/wood. I suspect this is deliberate to avoid exactly that.
That's a cool storm chasers
"We're already pulled over , we can't pull over any further "
Imagine looking outside your window and seeing this vehicle parked on your street.
That kind of vehicle what does it call? And how does it work for a tornado resistance?
