Stormchasers to fire rockets full of sensors into tornados.

Instead of this. Rocket launchers.

Check it out! Here are the trackable meteorological sensors we will be launching into tornadoes this spring using the model rocket launcher on Dominator 3. Soon we will have hundreds of these floating around inside the tornado. Engineered by @ChasinSpin LINK
Reed Timmer to shoot rockets full of science at tornados this spring.

That’s actually pretty smart. Keeps everyone at a safe distance and the tornado will just easily suck the rocket up

Reed is so damn ballsy. Keep expecting to hear his rhino lined suv got sucked up in a tornado.
A cameraman that works for discovery told me the only reason the show stormchasers was cancelled was the extreme cost of production. The insurance and pay rates for the crews that followed them around was unreal.

My friend is a meteorologist and he calls them storm fakers because all that shite is fake. He says to watch the news if you wanna see the real action

Seems like the biggest risk is straight line winds this evening. Tornadoes are possible nonetheless.

What kind of nader is that? It can pull a 2 penny nail off a two by four, but it can't pull a tank top off of Helen Hunt?

Not sure if that will shift east as the system comes through.

Eagerly awaiting the footage of a sensor rocket going wide, looping around the back of the tornado and then returning to the shooter at 10x velocity

shooting rocket launchers at tornadoes?
Suddenly my life feels boring and meaningless

Yup.
This one is going to be more about that satellite porn though. We're looking to push 970 mb in Kansas. The resulting front doesn't look to be a big deal for DFW and east though.
Going to be windy as F over a big swath of the country though.

I wish I realized this was an option sooner. Would have spent my adult life working for that opportunity.
Pew pew pew.
