Meet the Teams
The Storm Chasers are back again this year, with more new chasers and new vehicles that up the chances of scoring more and bigger tornado intercepts. Sean Casey and the Tornado Intercept Vehicle are back in action with a modified TIV2 that's lighter and faster. Reed Timmer's team has completely overhauled their original TVN vehicle into the armored, super-stabilized Storm Research Vehicle nicknamed the Dominator SRV. It not only has enhanced radar and camera equipment, but Reed's even going to experiment with a remotely-controlled flying drone! Josh Wurman and the DOW have joined the massive VORTEX2 tornado research mission, but they'll be around part of the time to join in the chase. New teams include the veteran chaser Tim Samaras and his TWISTEX team plus a light scout vehicle, nicknamed the "DOGHOUSE, that will chase as part of the TIV team. Read all about the veterans and the new team members in their own words.
