We successfully launched a sensor into a tornado with good data back! Here is the first drop of the 3D data!!!! Check out more of our science data on (we are working on better analytics for the site.) This dataset is from the Blue Rapids KS tornado on 5/18/26

Check out this incredible 3D data from out parachute sensor launched by air cannon into the wedge #tornado near Blue Springs, Kansas. The sensor did three loops around the tornado and shows the dynamic pipe widening with height. This is Will Clay heroic efforts

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

Check out this incredible composite video of the #tornado intercept near St. Libory, Nebraska yesterday including our weather station data, video and radar loop. We believe this violent #tornado happened right when the cold front gave the storm a kick in the ass. This accelerated the tornado forward speed and sent it due east. This is from James Pettus You can see our data on

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

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

Live update on more West Texas severe weather and low-end #tornado threat including southeast Colorado into western Kansas. AND THE TORNADO PROBE WAS FOUND in Weatherford, TX area! We are considering a chase in Pecos Valley of Texas this afternoon or retrieval of the valuable data from the rocket. This is a live meteorological breakdown of the storm chase setup today

AI only exists today because it is trained on real data. The better the data input, The better the AI output. We capture incredibly high-quality raw data of real humans, in 3D, from all angles. You do the Math ✍🏻 Our data can vastly improve and expand the capabilities of AI

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!

Powell: The point is that we are starting to see layoffs and important gatherers of data are saying that they are having to cut back on the size of their surveys and that will lead to more volatility in the surveys. I think we should take a step back. From our standpoint, having really good data on the state of the economy at any given time is a huge public good.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY This is a live emergency update on the forecast uptick in severe weather across the central and eastern U.S., starting as a #tornado outbreak on Thursday across the Upper Midwest including Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Missouri. We are taking a deeper dive as we are now 5 days out from this first #tornado threat. We are ramping up our science mission with more rockets and FPV drone deployment planned ahead.

The Dominator 3 has arrived in Huntsville, Alabama! On May 20 earlier this year, we launched our air cannon into a #tornado that spun the Dominator in a circle! We are scanning the trees for any sign of a red parachute on our way to Mars Music Hall. The show is at 7:30 pm in support of our science mission. Reserve your seat here:

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
