Storm Chasing In A $750,000 Tornado-Proof Tank!

We headed to Tornado Alley to meet extreme meteorologist Reed Timmer and check out how he drives directly into the world's deadliest storms!
His SRV Dominator 3 is a $750,000 beast converted from a Ford F350, ready to tackle anything Mother Nature throws its way. We drove into the eye of the storm and got to experience chasing Twisters first hand!
Special thanks to ‪@ReedTimmerWx‬ for taking us on a storm chase and for providing footage for the episode.

Think I drove through a tornado earlier this year by accident. Was doing a ubereats and I didn’t realize it went straight into the path of a tornado. It was at night so it was hard to see. Then the wind and rain got so violent I couldn’t see the road I ended up in a ditch. I think that’s what saved me. Then I drove out and got hit by golf ball sized hail, which did more damage than the tornado. Luckily it was an open field of grass because there wasn’t any debris.

[@f5tornado831]

Small mistake: tornadoes dont usually last for more than an hour. They do last longer in the US than somewhere like Canada or the UK, but rarely an hour. You also said they have winds between 200-300 mph, so it feels like you're describing the strongest tornadoes, not the average tornado. The average tornado probably won't reach 200 mph. Cool video though.
