Storm Chasing In A $750,000 Tornado-Proof Tank!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- We headed to Tornado Alley to meet extreme meteorologist Reed Timmer and check out how he drives directly into the world's deadliest storms!
His SRV Dominator 3 is a $750,000 beast converted from a Ford F350, ready to tackle anything Mother Nature throws its way. We drove into the eye of the storm and got to experience chasing Twisters first hand!
Special thanks to @ReedTimmerWx for taking us on a storm chase and for providing footage for the episode.

Really gotta respect how this guy is just living his best life. Passionate about what he does.
hilarious how "this guy" is totally unknown to you lol. I 100% understand why you don't know him - and I mean no ill intentions to you - but this guy is literally legendary in the storm chasing scene.
@@ImproveHumanity I think you're wildly overestimating the knowlege of people in the storm chasing community by anyone outside of the community.
@@lildashboi Exactly. You just proved my point. People who know tornados and tornado chasing know who he is. Nobody else does.
Reed Timmer bud.... on of the most iconic storm chasers ever next to the other tank vehicle tiv 2
What happened to his friends?
Reed Timmer is a national treasure. His contributions to weather science is astounding.
Weather science or rather- weather adventure?
😂😂 that's a good joke. The only thing he has contributed to is near death ,ptsd, nightmares and hearing loss being in a vehicle with him and that screechy voice.

You've got Konigseggs, Lamborghinis, Bugattis and Ferraris and they are all quite similar. But what can't they do? Drive into a tornado and sit there. So glad you gave Team Dominator a chance to take you on this experience to branch out to different areas of the the motor world!

With all the exotics you've reviewed, this is probably on of the coolest vehicles you've shown on this channel.

Reed Timmer is one of the best storm chasers in the world and he is Doninatinh
He actually sat inside the tiv 2 I saw that video
these people are risking their lives and saving thousands of lives each year.
thank you for your efforts 🙏
3 months later; was starting to think you guys would never upload this lol
Still super stoked you guys got to see Reed and the Doms. These vehicles are frankly the only reason why I really got into tornadoes and storm chasing in general. :D
OMG great tvideo - so happy you got to enjoy the Reed Timmer experience lol! He's intense, goofy, brilliant and he and the other crazy cool storm chasers are a massive asset to the entire weather industry!
i cant beleve im seeing this.
Childhood meets car entausiasm
Fun thing for all the people that dont know Reed
He has his own humor, He´s super energetic, he is entausiastic like no tomorrow, He has passion for his job and he tries to seek knowledge to keep people safe
IMAGINE CALLING IT A TANK. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS A TANK. BOZOS.
I love Reed! Never Stop Chasing🚫🛑🏃♂️🌪
Reed is a little too shouty, too excitable. I prefer Pecos Hank.
HE IS LOUD BECAUSE HE HAS TO BE HEARD ABOVE THE DIN OF THE TORNADO
@xheralt Well to be fair, Reeds doing more than just filming tornadoes.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Reed!!! I’m very happy to see that he still out doing what he loves to do!!! he was on one of my favorite television shows ever watching them chase. Those storms was incredible!!!
Dominator 4, needs a inflatable ring around the bottom, so when the air suspension is at its lowest, the ring would inflate and create a total seal under the truck.
Dom 3
that's smart
@@cardiacjunkiehe means if he builds a new one
plus a big boat anker, they can throw out if the car is still moving ;)

Right... how'd he go from the dude in the cap n gown to Chuck Norris 😅😂
Yes 😅
Was about to say something similar, that that is like his brother or something 😂

Yeah what he said!!!😂
that was very cool, Reed being serious. A phd man... new found respect.

Yea he needs to keep on his grind
As Oklahomans we literally have jokes about seeing the Dominator and Reed lolol
IMAGINE CALLING IT A TANK. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS A TANK. BOZOS.
Kinda like when we in the SE (Florida in my case) happen to see The Weather Channels' Jim Cantore in the the area....lol
As in "if you see Reed racing down the road in Dominator, _go the other way!_ " ...?
@@Flyby-1000Fun fact, Jim and Reed chased together a while back on Reed’s show (if you werent aware)
what is the joke?
My mom’s Yorkie was named Gizmo and lived to 16 years old. Just passed earlier this year. Best dog ever! Also had to ride in front seat. Only difference was he was a boy dog. Missing him all the time.
Love my dogs. Sorry about your Yorkie. ❤😢
Red is a blast to watch live on RUclips. while the season itself for major tornados is over its crazy just how intense some of the stuff they get into is. Double Tornados, Crazy flying Debris and the the fact that in the face of violence of mother nature at times he has the knowledge and skills to safely navigate it all.
i thought red catches pokemon, not tornados.
I hope Reed gave Tiv designer Sean Casey a lot of credit for his creation of TIV 1 & TIV2. Who both were in the Discovery Channel series Storm Chasers 2007-2011. While both Tiv 1 & Dominator were in season 1. Work on Tiv 1 started in 2002 while Dominator was in 2007.
Let’s not forget his friends who passed away doing the thing they love prayers ❤

I just seen this last week twice, it was headed south on i29 toward Sioux Falls and then I seen it again going east on i80 toward Des Moines. What a crazy rig to see going down the road
Long ago saw a weather rig for tornadoes and such even back then amazing. But... was surprised at it was here😮 Lucky you to see this I think
Small mistake: tornadoes dont usually last for more than an hour. They do last longer in the US than somewhere like Canada or the UK, but rarely an hour. You also said they have winds between 200-300 mph, so it feels like you're describing the strongest tornadoes, not the average tornado. The average tornado probably won't reach 200 mph. Cool video though.
That was one of the coolest things I ever saw. I would pay thousands of dollars to be in this car in a tornado. Best Supercar Blondie episode till now.
Actually the tiv-2 is better

@@12ijg6 you cant really drive into a tornado with it, its deploy time is 27 seconds, u have to be in the path, the dom can cuz its deploy time is about 4-8 seconds
So lemme get this straight,
You'd actually pay thousands of dollars to willingly risk your life⁉️

This video was so well done! I watch Reed and others almost every day. But this video taught me more than I knew about the vehicle and also just hearing reeds stories I haven’t heard before. Well done!!
Think I drove through a tornado earlier this year by accident. Was doing a ubereats and I didn’t realize it went straight into the path of a tornado. It was at night so it was hard to see. Then the wind and rain got so violent I couldn’t see the road I ended up in a ditch. I think that’s what saved me. Then I drove out and got hit by golf ball sized hail, which did more damage than the tornado. Luckily it was an open field of grass because there wasn’t any debris.
I hate nighttime tornadoes.
Damn... you lucky didn't get spear'd by a rogue tree...
Did you still manage to deliver the food?
@@ScaroMKasking the real questions 😂
Reed is a maniac!
But the good kind!!
I had all of the videos recorded on the DVR when Storm Chasers came on Discovery Channel. Always loved watching them. It has been over a decade since I saw them. 😳
ngl...I kinda got giddy when I saw SCB was gonna show off D3! Long time lurker, now my first post. Keep up the awesome work Reed and team, and stay safe.
yoooo dom3 is an epic vehicle, it is always fun to watch reed and his team intercept in it
those guys are super energetic and positive amazing people
Supercar Blondie in a tornado was not on my 2024 bingo card
IMAGINE CALLING IT A TANK. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS A TANK. BOZOS.
Where did the original Supercar Blondie go? i miss her :(
Except.. she is Not.Too scared.Its just kinda bad..wanting to capitalize($$) on putting someone else at risk Mrs.Blonde(in talking about this wonderfully brave girl she sent instead).
@@jannimcflurry8252 probably sold the channel lol
@@mentor_bajramino, she just hired a team.
Decades ago, I rode the front passenger seat as the photographer. It was fives days of chasing dozens of cells and getting close to three funnels, but not IN them. The science geeks got a ton of data; I got a ton of pictures (roll film, before digital).
After it was over I realized two things:
1. The people that do this, from the lead scientist to the guy that tries to fix what got broke, are on another level from almost everyone else on the planet. They have to be; after all, they try to get close to Mother Nature when she is freaking out.
2. I will NEVER do that again! My underwear just can't take it.
Love reed it was so cool to see you collab with him!
Reed is a national and scientific treasure.
I remember when this was a concept from other tornado chasing vehicles. They couldn't get the support they needed to build it from any government agencies but they got it done and captured so much valuable data dealing with tornadoes. I'm glad rhe team is getting more recognition and I'm wishing more support from government agencies to develop other tornado chasing vehicles. I remember the the movie "Twister"
IMAGINE CALLING IT A TANK. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS A TANK. BOZOS.
There is a twister 2 coming soon
Reed Timmer is a national treasure. His contributions to weather science is astounding.
When you mention he started tornado chasing in the 90s, I think twister the movie. I wonder if he was inspired by the movie or it was just coincidence? lol 😄👍🏿😎🌴🌙
IMAGINE CALLING IT A TANK. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS A TANK. BOZOS.
The movie was inspired by him!
Reed says his first chase was when he was 13 in 1993, so just a few years before the movie!
being from Kansas & living in Central KS -- I'm a huge Reed Timmer fan. I know people who have become amateur storm chasers & meteorologists because of this guy.
The first two were trial and error. Thats like being the first human to test a bullet proof vest. I’ll just watch from a safe distance. Lol
yay team dominator is back!!!!!!
19:00 on the left that chair is moving by itself.
"It can stand up to winds of 200mph"
Excellent so still room for improvement. I want to see one of these drive into a mile wide F5.
So, what you are saying is, you actually want to see someone commit suicide.
Those don't happen that often my friend. Last one was Moore, Oklahoma in 2013. And no vehicle would make it. They throw train cars like nothing.
As much as I would like to see that, I don’t think dom 3 could even survive in either of the Moore tornados. But something like Barnsdale (sp?) would be borderline imo
@@addicted2monster88THE MOST KILLER LINE OF THE ORIGINAL MOVIE TWISTER, AN F5 WHAT WOULD THAT BE LIKE....THE FINGER OF GOD.....😮🌪
this has to have been the fastest i've EVER clicked on a video, seeing supercar blondie and the fuckin DOMINATOR in the thumbnail is crazy awesome yo!
Been waiting for this video)))
I was actually watching Reed's live stream when they were in the tornado that the juniper tree hit the Dominator 3... It was wild!!!
Gabby is a real looker, and a great presenter too. Mesmerizing Eyes.👀
She's hot af.
You know her @? 😊
Of course not. I'm sure I could look it up. I don't obsess over people in the entertainment industry. I just wish her the best success in life. Everyone is on this planet for a reason.
Who is she and where can you find out more about her?
@@bobbysworld-z7z Google it Player. I'm not sure. She is some type of car enthusiast.
Reed was on a show called Storm Chasers on the discovery channel and it was a pretty good show because of him. Dude was intercepting tornados in his truck and running circles around a highly funded convoy that had a pretty advanced Radar attached to a truck.
Yeah that was the DOW 6 (doppler on wheels), it belongs to The Center for Severe Weather Research, and is one of 3 truck mounted doppler radar systems they own. They couldn't take the risks that Reed and others could because that is very expensive equipment and I believe they have benefactors to answer to if they were to lose that million dollar equipment. They are affiliated with a University so they don't have the luxury of losing valuable tech and having sponsors that will help replace it.
Love to see you do another video (s) and dig a bit deeper into the science during more episodes. Great editing! ❤
I'm so happy the Dominator Team got recognized for their impressive DOM 3.
Never stop chasing
Never stop Dominating.
imagine chasing a tornado and then seeing a dominator RUNNING away from it, thats how you KNOW your not coming back from it
I would love to work with these guys. I've done a bit of storm chasing, but that is next level.
That's the coolest tank I've ever seen!
I recently moved to oklahoma. I was aware of tornados being there a lot but i thought the area where i moved had little to no tornados. I have been here for 2 years and already been in 3 tornado warnings, All about 0.4-1.2 miles away from me. Since i have moved i have been really fascinated with storm chasing and it is actually my current dream job
IMAGINE CALLING IT A TANK. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS A TANK. BOZOS.
I have watched a lot of Reed's chases and I wanted to say seeing the chase from your perspective was really neat. I remember seeing your chase on Reed's stream. Glad you shared your view of the event too!
I remembered years ago watching this dude woah
As soon as the video started, I thought I was on Reeds channel! Love watching his lives during twister season.
Great work Gabby! Really cool video! Impressive doomsday vehicle lol. Reed is a character. I made sure to give his channel a follow.
Love you Reed! Been following you for 18 or so years.
Should've waited to release this video until the new movie "Twisters" comes out because there's a vehicle just like this in the movie. Now idk if they used this truck, or took inspo from it, or had the creator help build it for the movie. But it would've been cool having that movie come out then this video got released
I’m excited to see that movie because I can tell they ripped the whole main character and vehicle off of Reed.
@itsLynzi but didn't include him they can't match the first one so I'm gonna pass. I really don't go to theatres either, but it won't be I've I'm dying to see. That's just me. But they should of gotten him to be part of it and kept it real. But they Hollywood all fake is fine with them.
The writer of Twisters went out with Reed in the Dom 3 while writing the screenplay
I think you should plan another trip.. You really need to experience this. Only a handful of people have ever been inside a tornado. The Dominator crew and the TIV crew have the only 2 intercept vehicles that I know of. Once in a lifetime opportunity if you ever get the chance again. Gotta intercept a storm with Reed. I bet it would be an amazing experience
Now THAT'S A cybertruck!
What
Yeah Arizona has dust devils sadly the only tornadoes we get 😫😫 rarely rarely get a EF1 tornado
NEVER STOP CHASING
This is one of your most interesting videos!
Reed will live by the sword die by the sword type of fella. I absolutely love it.
Welcome to the Dominator Force clan! 🌪️
I was watching this live stream with my family because I have family in Concordia (not to far from me) and my mom was like "GIZMO!!"

My childhood curiosity has finally been solved. Loved his shows!
Crazyyyyyyy , With The Fucking Legend Reeeeeeeeeed Timmmmeeerrrr⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️
The dominator looks like a car straight out of ghostbusters😂
You and Jay Leno both experienced the Dominator not bad company.
That dominator truck looks so cool even tornadoes will go around it as to not screw it up . Lol 😊
love reed timmer, hes crazy
“It’s called the dominator 3 because 1 and 2 got absolutely fu*ked”
A blade of grass at 200mph 😂😂😂😂😂
Reed is the real life The Extreme
dude THATS A SWEET TANK i would so want to ride in that tank with u what a cool vehicle lol
One lowkey upgrade they might want to look into that nobody really talks about… is installing a headset intercom in the vehicle. 1 it’s loud inside a tornado from all of the videos by Reed Timmer I’ve seen. 2. All the pressure changes makes your ears pop in and out.
Does the Dominator 3 have technology to pickup any frequencies surrounding storm systems? The host of this video has beautiful eyes. Interesting video guys. Gizmo is the cutest.
IMAGINE CALLING IT A TANK. NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS A TANK. BOZOS.
It does not. They use the radar stations found around the country. I does have tools for research if they get near, close or even inside a tornado.
Also excellent to have during the zombie apocalypse. 🧟♂😎

I'm just going to leave this little tidbit here. We have 2 F550 service trucks at my work that scale between 21,000 and 23,000 lbs between the two. Both still have the factory "power limiters" or "heat retention" devices equipped and they barely feel the weight. That 6.7 platform is a damn good option for this application I can't imagine how good with it uncorked.

If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you... prevent inflation
Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the crypto market as it's more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade myself.
A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some professional advice.it's totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dip during significant market falls.
You trade also?, I tried trading after watching some videos on RUclips but still keep making losses,how do you trade on your own?
No I don't trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance
