   • Chasing and Probing a DANGEROUS EF4 ...  

I live in central Oklahoma...within a few miles of the National Weather Center and America's top meteorology school. I met Reed Timmer when I was a kid and sat in his "Dominator" storm chasing vehicle. I watched the El Reno tornado happen one or two counties away. SO WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN AN ACTUAL TORNADO YET?? Perhaps it's just bad (or good) luck...or maybe it's because I haven't tried hunting one down yet.

Early this year, I met my nowfriend Jack, who chases tornadoes, and we decided to develop a series of tornado probes. This video gives you a peak into my efforts.

WARNING: storm chasing is EXTREMELY dangerous, and I do not recommend that my viewers chase tornadoes. Please do not drive into tornadic storms unless you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN of what you are doing!
