On my way back home Discovery Channels "SRV Dominator" vehicle was fueling up behind me at a gas station in Virginia.  It's a 2007 Tahoo with an external roll cage that is plated with steel and all kinds of equipment.  The external steel is on a hydraulic system that lowers it to the ground so that it doesn't allow air to get beneath the veh when the tornado is approaching.  Very cool to see and driven by 2 pretty cool.... and crazy.... guys.  They said the new season starts Sunday and they actually have had this vehicle in 4 tornados!

I agree with that thought.   Clap


It is also important to note that with current El Nino conditions (warming of the Eastern Pacific off the coast of South America) that 'these' conditions historically result in less Atlantic Hurrican activity...so, in some ways, El Nino, a proposed symptom of global warming, which has been 'linked' to increased and more violent storm activity actually seems to have the opposite effect...

this does mean that next spring, if we're in a la Nina cycle, that storm activity might actually rise...then again, with cooler temperatures of this past summer, that actually means less energy to feed these storms...


It's a very complex system...and we certainly don't understand much of it...

I grew up in Kansas...out on a farm on the plains...it seems the height of stupidity to want to 'chase' these storms...and something a 'city kid' would think 'cool'...  course, these were also the kids we never went hunting with because odds were greatly improved they'd 'shoot somebody'...or start dusting meadowlarks because they thought they were quail...

I did not ask them to see the hydrolics.... .But now that you mention it, I probably should have.
