Watch this historic rocket launch into a monster EF4 #tornado by the Team Dominator science team! This marked the first ever recording of wind and thermodynamics in 3D inside of a #tornado. We launched the rocket in perfect position within the inflow notch of this rain-wrapped wedge tornado near...

Check out this incredible 360 footage of the air cannon launch into a violent #tornado near St. Libory, Nebraska. This shows the #Dominator 3 launching a sensor at this tornado as it crossed in front of the vehicle. This was captured by the great Jesse Gillett

Check out this cannon launch into a monster dust buster wedge #tornado that will give you pink eye 100%! Is it worth the risk? 2026 is the year of Team Dominator Science! We will pepper the tornadoes with dozens of sensors at a time for a live tornado intensity estimate. Never stop chasing

See the air cannon launch into the violent #tornado? The #Dominator 3 cameras captured this incredible donut vortex around a violent #tornado near St Libory, Nebraska. The Doppler on Wheels measured a 200 mph wind above the ground with this twister. Check out the data set from our historic air cannon launch into the Blue Rapids, Kansas wedge yesterday. The parachute probe completed three loops around the tornado, with greater diameter with height as the dynamic pipe widened This is a huge breakthrough by extreme engineer Will Clay

🌪️ Massive tornado just captured by Reed Timmer. “The most amazing tornado intercept ever in the Dominator! WE ARE IN DANGER!” ⚠️ The inflow of the powerful tornado was pulling the Dominator in to the destructive core flow by the mirrors and hood! This tornado was just west of Gary, Minnesota. The tornado narrowly missed a house at peak intensity. “This is the most insane tornado I have ever seen in my 30 year career.”

WE GOT DATA! Check out this first-ever 3-D data set of wind and thermodynamics from the ground up from inside a #tornado! With a peak wind of 131 mph measured above ground, and greater than 115 mph at ground level outside of suction vortices, it appears this tornado was at least an EF2. This data set sheds light on the 3-D structure of the dynamic pipe from ground through the vent, showing a high swirl ratio tornado here. The vent is the powerful updraft at the upper reaches of the dynamic pipe, the strength of which is proportional to the ceiling of the tornado cyclone below. We also computed a pressure perturbation with height, with two maximum deficits happening at launch and farther above ground in the dynamic pipe. Notice the little loop the parachute probe made at the backside of the #tornado at the same time as an RH decrease. We do not believe this is a subvortex here so far above ground. What do you notice with this data? Will Clay LocalMan Weather #stormchasing #Dominator #science

HISTORIC #TORNADO INTERCEPT southwest of Frankfort, Kansas! We launched a sensor into the tornado and it went up past 10,000 feet and did at least three revolutions around the tornado. Incredible data on this sensor #stormchasing #Dominator

The largest #tornado in recorded History happened on this day, 13 years ago, in El Reno, Oklahoma. This video shows the #Dominator 2 surging east for intercept of this 2.5 mile wide tornado, and we ran into a power line and launched the hood into the tornado. Very sadly, my friend and mentor, Tim Samaras and the TWISTEX team with Carl Young and Paul Samaras lost their lives to this tornado while doing ground-breaking science. RIP TWISTEX

RAW video of the air cannon launch into EF5-strength suction vortex on May 20 this year. I have finally analyzed the live data from the probe, which shows an ~80 mb drop from the Dominator, outside of the tornado, to the core of the tornado. A second dramatic dip in pressure is attributed purely to vertical velocity as the parachute probe lofts upward through the #tornado. I am working to estimate the height of the probe from our 2-3 camera angles, since the GPS failed. We are still working to recover this parachute probe!

We measured a 124 mph wind in the south side of this powerful #tornado west of Braman, Oklahoma last Thursday! This tornado was rated an EF1 with estimated peak winds of 85 mph. Should we, one day, add the Dominator 3 as a damage indicator? #stormchasing #Dominator

TORNADO SEASON IS ABOUT TO BEGIN! An uptick in severe weather potential appears likely during the first week of March through the middle of March with the development of a trough-ridge pattern. We are finalizing the rebuild of the Dominator 3 and Will Clay has put the science mission on his back! We will be launching dozens of sensors into the tornadoes this year for real-time tornado intensity. LocalMan Weather and I have been grinding out the rest of the Team Dominator speaking tour, with our next event tomorrow night in Effingham, Illinois. On March 1 we will return to the heart of Tornado Alley to test sensors and gear up for the active pattern ahead. 2026 will be a BIG year for #tornado science! Never stop chasing
