Well that was their scout vehicle it wasnt meant to do what they did but i believe that their chevy tahoe was in for repairs and their thought profess was that they would be at a safe distance.

As a Storm Chaser, he should know that being inside a car is the last place you want to be in a tornado, because it can crush the car, roll it over, and smash you flat. I've heard it said over and over that laying flat in a ditch is your best bet, if you don't have a storm shelter. BUT then again, debris was flying everywhere. Being outside could get you pummeled or cut in half by sharp debris. So I don't know what I would do really

[@Raineydropp]

RedNymph234 Im guessing you didn't watch the part of the video where it showed they weren't in a car, but in a tank designed for strong winds and debris, that also bolts into the ground?

[@Dangerousbuzz934]

RedNymph234 The vehicle used was the Tornado Interception Vehicle. It was designed to take direct hits from tornadoes by sliding plates flush to the ground (Preventing wind from going under the chassis), and sending rods into the ground anchoring the vehicle in place. Only two of these vehicles exist in the world

[@iPlayWithFireYT]

Dangerousbuzz934 True but it has it's limits. An F4 is pushing it. It was designed to take on smaller storms F3 being the absolute limit. They got extremely lucky. Keep in mind an F4 or strong F5 can destroy a train. A tank stands no chance.
