Footage from what is being called the BEST Tornado Intercept in History – was shot recently in Spalding, Nebraska.
Team Dominator in their tornado vehicle the Dominator 3 (a.k.a. Tornado Tank), took to the highways and byways of Nebraska in hopes of intercepting a tornado – those hopes were realized in the most awesome way!
In the video below the team led by Reed Timmer lets you experience firsthand what it’s like to be inside an actual tornado.
The footage is crazy and the lead-up is as suspenseful as any Hollywood blockbuster – actually better ’cause it’s REAL! Winds inside the supercell tornado were calculated around 147 later adjusted to a 163+ mph gust – which would make the twister a Category 3.
Along with the incredible footage from inside the funnel, Team Dominator got some fantastic establishing drone shots plus a bunch of essential telemetry to boot – which will help in the analyzation of storms in hopes of making forecasts and warnings more accurate – saving lives in the process.
The Official Video Description said: This is the historic intercept of the Spalding, Nebraska tornado by Team Dominator. It’s a textbook intercept, done with the help of Jordan Hall, Sierra Lindsey, Brian Allen, ad Jaden Pappenheim. Our science continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible, and the understanding of tornadoes. Thank you to everyone who was a part of this, including our Members!!
Bravo Team Dominator!
