project vortex very good and excelent video very educatianal very infromative very enjoyable needs to be put on cable tv is a excelent learning and teaching tool
It depends on the vehicle and the direction its facing, among other variables. Lets just say they got lucky. I was in a pickup and got hit by 90 mph winds a few years ago, you will think you are about to start rolling when winds like that hit you. All it did to me was rock the truck around some.
That is some of the most incredible video I have ever seen. They are playing awfully close to that wedge. I like to get close, but I dont know about that.
You can always mark it as a good chase when you get hit by powerlines and see asphalt pulled up.
The tornado at the end of this clip was a BEAST, I had been trying to find the rest of the video clip of that particular tornado, and so, I'm glad to see that footage in more detail :)
On another tape I have a few seconds of Tim Marshall's footage of the Allison tornado (that's actually his vehicle passing by at 9:00) that I may upload in the future.
I had a feeling that Tim Marshall would have been on the road that day too, I think just about every well known chaser/researcher was on the road that day :) lol
The tornado at 1.00 looked to be a very nasty multiple vortex mosnter, and I think that was the tornado that had scoured the concrete on the road shortly afterward, as I barely remember it being shown on another documentary :)
Amazing compilation of an amazing day. The ropey vortice at 8:20 becoming ingested into the main tornado is an interesting air-mass ciruclation problem to consider. I would give a great deal to participate in this type work.
i did see this on TV before it is very educatianal but on TV they didnt show the whole video

I taped a program off TLC back in 2000 called "Tornado Chasers" that made the same mistake.
