Any Tornado Chasers Out There?

Reed Timmer is a crazy dude if you've never watched him. He was one of the guys from the show Storm Chasers. Drives right into F1-F3 tornados. Anyway, I follow him for severe weather updates and such, and he just shared this, which is really freakin cool.

These guys have balls.

I'm quite the opposite of a storm chaser

Yeah, you should see some of his chase videos in the Dominator

So you're a storm runner-away-fromer then

Having one hit a few miles and home in 98 and seeing deep in the woods way better than a sunny day, I would love to be and hate to be. It would be an amazing experience. My brain would stress my body though.

Wonder how the exhaust is routed on that glorified bumper car? I see alot getting trapped under it.

One of his Dominator builds (there's been a number of them) he actually had a really bad problem breathing brake dust. But I think they forgot to upgrade the brakes after adding all that plate steel. The first versions still had the original vehicle underneath. Super heavy, with stock brakes

Not sure if the new ones are like that or not.

Oh, it has exhaust at the rear of this one

I would have too back in the day. I used to live within eyesight of a popular overpass for storm chasers to sit and watch the sky from. I used to go sit with them. I never bothered them though, they were always filming. But whenever I saw them, I knew it was getting bad.

I would love to see one just not too close.

Mods?
Should this be merged with @TRAT hand farting thread?
Storm chasing; hand-farting.
Either way, the result isn’t pretty.

I have seen 3. None hit the ground. One appeared to have 3 funnels forming.

Oh wait... 4. Last year one blew right by my apartment and it was huge, and there was a few minutes I watched it I was about to TRAT myself

Having been raised in Nebraska, I've had my share of run-ins with tornado's. Have no desire to chase after them. It's only inviting trouble in the least and disaster in the most. Thanks, but no thanks.
