The most legendary tornado intercept of all time in the Dominator 3!

  • Опубликовано: 10 июл 2023
  • The Dominator 3 achieved a direct tornado intercept for the first time in a decade, capturing a 55 mb pressure drop and rise in less than a second! The power of the tornado caused the old seals to break in the back of Dominator 3 from winds gusting over 160 mph. Flex Paste by @FlexSeal used to fix the seals and waterproof the Dominator 3 so that we can continue to capture rare data from inside tornadoes.

    I threw a roll of FlexSeal tape at a tornado coming towards my home. As the FlexSeal tape unrolled it quickly wrapped around the tornado and stopped the rotation. The cloud was lifting I tossed in FlexPaste that I had removed the lid from. It sealed the bottom of the cloud no rain or hail could pass though that seal. Last I knew that system was on it's 10th trip around the earth with no way to dissipate the energy. Thanks, FlexSeal!

We stayed in Norman on the 9 East at the Post Office property not to far from OU. What people don't realize is before Moore got hit there were several E3 and E4 tornadoes that hit areas like Little Axe, Carney, and Shawnee. When Moore got hit that Monday they pulled almost all of the resources from those areas into Moore. What a shame!! Stay safe out there Reed along with your team.

    1:21 Every once in a while there will be tornados in my dreams. The one at 1:20 is almost exactly like what I see. Off in the distance on a hill but there are more hills and its very fake looking. Just a reoccuring dream theme. Ive never been in one, except maybe once there was a storm here and it couldve been a large one that didnt touch down fully cause the winds suddenly got up to 100mph for about 30 seconds. Im in Louisiana and was in katrina but have never been scared of storms or anything. Just once in a blue moon I dream about tornados on hillls and this is the first time Ive seen a video that closely matches my dreams.

    🚩1st. Remove all old "sealing" products
    2nd. CLEAN with a Mold/Mildew killer
    3rd. HEAT GUN Cautiously the entire area to ensure it's dry paying attention not to come too close to damage anything!
    4th.Apply flex SEAL PAST then after it has dried
    5th. Open the Back up so it has proper ventilation, Then HEAT GUN all the FLEX PASTE to ensure you have a Water tight Seal.
    6th. Apply FLEX SEAL TAPE
    7th. HEAT GUN over the TAPE as well that way you have a secure fitting tape.
    8th. Do the same to the OUTSIDE omitting the FLEX SEAL TAP.

    Every el reno clip no matter how short is so prolific. Giant horizontal vortice with multiple finger vorts decending towards the ground. Truly monsterous

    Stay safe, y'all, those storms affect Canada too. It's been cooler than normal on the west coast and windy and we have forests burning in the east. KEEP ON CHASING 😊
