I was out driving around tonight checking out the nasty storm clouds and ran into these guys. They were just a few blocks from my house, so I ran and got the camera so I could share some cool ****...


















The light gray one shows 16 tornados painted on the driver's side. I didn't ask anyone, but I can only assume that it's survived at least that many.

I want this job!!!

So the first one looks to be an older ford F series chassis correct? And the second one is a newer dodge chassis?

How much does each one weigh do you know? they look like they're tanks pretty much.

If you think Kum & Go is funny, there is a station in Sioux City called Pump & Pak

Anyway, me and about 50 other people were wandering all around the vehicles taking pics and video. I'm sure those guys get that everywhere they go.


Pance, I didn't talk to any of the chasers, they looked like they were all pretty busy consulting their phones and computers and each other.

yes there was a tv show on the discovery channel called storm chasers. if you noticed in some pics you could see the word TIV. tornado intercept vehicle. that vehicle will park right in the way of an oncoming tornado trying to get IMAX film footage from INSIDE the tornado. heres a link.
