Check out this video from yesterday in Goshen Co, WY, as we drove the SRV Dominator into the tornado when it was a photogenic rope/elephant trunk. The winds were MUCH stronger with this tornado than our last intercept in Kirksville, MO on May 13, and the vehicle shook violently as the tornado moved overhead. Debris and tumbleweeds from the tornado were jammed in between the bullet-proof shell and the Tahoe underneath, and we could barely see out the windows after the tornado moved through. Note the video from the rooftop bubble camera showing our magnet amber light getting ripped from the roof of the vehicle in the tornadic winds. Now we're heading to Iowa for another potential tornado event! We'll share the wind data from the roof anemometer when we retrieve it. Chris is thinking 147 mph... my guess is a little lower but somewhere in the 120 to 140 mph range.

Seriously, that is so freaking rad.
I want to do that one day.
I think I am going to go to school to be a meteorologist. Not the ones on TV, but one that studies and stuff.
