Tornado Intercept Vehicle

A Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV) is a specialized vehicle designed for storm chasing and tornado research. Built to withstand severe weather, it features reinforced armor, impact-resistant windows, and advanced technology for capturing data during tornado events. Researchers and meteorologists use these vehicles to observe tornadoes up close, collecting information on their behavior and structure to improve safety and prediction methods. The TIV enhances our understanding of tornado dynamics, helping to develop better forecasting techniques and emergency response strategies.
