INSIDE A MEGA WEDGE TORNADO with Dominator 3 buried in the ditch! 

How wide is that tornado.

I was thinking the same thing. Or at the very least, if it is electric, use direct switching, not a computer, and have power backups.

Lol, you think they care. That vehicle is junk

​@@jacksaloman9513it might be junk nonetheless it's still there safety net

aka TIV 2.

Giant winch to get yourself out.

Two is one and one is none. Why not have a backup computer? Seems cheap.

also a idea, have the spikes drive in 1 at a time so there is more preasure per spike allowing them to go in deeper

Letting everything get soaked also probably doesn’t help

The computer need to be gotten rid of I believe it's used to control the airbags so he can lower it to different levels. Figure out something manual levers something else. There has to be a better way to manage airbags put them on all kinds of vehicles.

Why? Reed likes a lot of dràma

Mmhmmm, and I thought Reed was borderline mental..... white car guy was either oblivious, or a certified immortal.

yeah totally i was thinking who's this guy just cruisin past

5:55

​@@KCM25NJLI think that was Connor.

@@kittervisioni believe it was connor, hence why he was told to get out of there😂

This year has been intense. Especially since someone as cautious as Reed has been in a couple hairy situations. It's going to be a long year

This year is madness, We are even getting tornadoes in Florida within places we usually wouldn't. NOTHING like the mid west and great plain tornadoes obviously but there is a big scary increase.

Overconfidence kills

@@Mike-8404 It's not like him to get this close and screw up. He is usually very careful.

@Trainedstormspotter The computer froze. Team Dominator was as ready as they could have been. The computer wouldn't let the vehicle come nown, nor the spikes deploy. I'm sure the tech crew will be working on a solution.

How wide is that tornado.

Agreed.

I’m with ya. Had to be at least 110-120 MPH sustained for 10-15 seconds

Lol

I’m pretty certain that wasn’t a casual drive by. That was a storm chaser. He yelled “GET OUTTA HERE CONNOR!” so I think it might have been Connor Croft because he was on this storm today but I haven’t seen his stream to confirm that. Still was absolutely a storm chaser.

Promise you they weren’t casual inside that car

I dont believe that was Connor...think he was hangin back...as I was watchin his stream. Hes pretty cautious..

@OrionWisehart yep whoever it was, was a storm chaser. Reed yells at everything I have surmised..I think he assumed it was Connor. Like I said, I was watching Connors stream that day...I know Reed has the experience but he is taking quite a few chances...even in the regular vehicle he was really too close to the debris flyin everywhere yesterday in Iowa. That adrenaline rush...can make one do things they wouldnt normally do. They provide a service for sure but these storms are bizarre these days...quite a bit of atypical behavior observed. Cyclonic and anticyclonic mesos. Crazy..

Agreed.

Same. My heart sunk a few times during this stream.

Omg my heart was RACING!!!! when the audio went on w/o visuals i thought they were done!!! 😢

@@kfsm820 Exactly! I was edge of my seat 😳

@@kfsm820 Scared me half to death. I'm so glad it all went well in the end.

Hey they always say to get in a low lying ditch in case of a tornado so he’s following protocol! 😝

Smells like panic 😂

@@justbe4481 yup once panic is in the way u sometimes just do the exact opposite of what ur saying or about to do

🎉

I think he was still wanting the intercept so wasn't so keen on leaving

Yes I was afraid he'd end up like Tim 😢

@@20PINKluvr me too. Was watching with my mom lol. Was like “am I about to watch Reed die?” Was glued to the tv

you act like he’s not a veteran, doesn’t have a phd, and doesn’t have them skills to navigate an intercept. it’s almost an insult towards him

I thought the one he did before was way scarier than this one.

@@phillipboesen9961 you act like one of these people who say/think "veterans cant make mistakes"

he is definitely dedicated to showing the raw power of tornadoes

You look up to a dude that just drove into a wedge tornado?

considering he only just really started focusing on the channel this year after getting his hands back on the doms and getting dom 3 up and running again, things are looking up.

@@scottiverson2836 The dude literally has a doctorate in meteorology. There's a lot of science involved with the Dominator vehicle(s), and it's designed to help capture data from this insane storms.

@@scottiverson2836 you left out the part where he did it completely unscathed and with new scientific data. you left that part out for some reason.

manual over ride for what? I was skipping through and missed whatever people are talking about?

@@diylithiumguy their computer to deploy froze and crashed, they couldn't drop down

@@Not_honest_enough ohhhh... wow! No bueno!

Just a matter of time sadly. Mark my words

Been following Reed's work a long time. No doubt he's taking a lot more risk lately. One derelict tornado (e.g., El Reno), and it's curtains.

​@@Dub-ro9tkalso relying on crappy technology.

The whole storm chasing community learned from what happened in El Reno. I agree, however, that there are a lot of new cowboys out there and soon enough something bad will happen.

There's always a risk with storm chasing and there have been fatalities to chasers but if I was to go chasing with a chaser it would be reed. I would feel most safe with him.

You might be right that's a large wedge.

@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews it might be a large wedge

@@Pigeon.mp4 looked more like a large cone tornado than anything. Just look at the vertices. Maybe a tenth of a mile wide.

If they had a town that would be a devastating EF5 but since it didn't or maybe it did what was it like a ef1

​@@paulcarpenter7844 god i hate the ef scale

I think the left edge missed them.

@@sjhudon386 ... Oh... Maybe next time...

lol

What live stream is this video from? I couldn't find the original

How wide is that tornado.

@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews No clue! We'll find out in a bit once the NWS tells us!

@WAGESWORLD1, I'm all for The Donimator 3 theme park ride!

Hey what’s up wagesworld love your content man. Space weather been going crazy lately

Fart a tornado made me snort lol

My brother Abraham Sandy (who chases with Big Dawg in NE CO) and I were in line for the Beast last Saturday and I had the same idea as we were talking. My idea was “THE Reed Timmer” for the name though.

@@perspective8369 thank you my friend Reed is the absolute GOAT in this field. I've been watching him since the History Channel special seasons he did. I've been a subscriber to his channel since almost the beginning and its awesome to see him pivot to stay successful. Th ats why he is the GOAT of storm chasing. I cant imagine athe amount of lives he and his team have saved through warning and data collection to get quicker models so we all get warnings quicker then ever before. God bless and No Fear

Bigfoot is in Idaho now? Da fuq?

Rather deal with a tornado cuz bigfoot is gonna F you then eat you

​@@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviewsBigfoot has always been in Idaho!

💯 FACTS 💯

When he starts screaming like a teenage girl, sometimes I wonder

He's a great chaser, but his dramatics have always rubbed me the wrong way.

Had me thinking he going inside the tornado

One of the reasons I mostly stopped watching, but this popped up and looked intriguing. Too bad the footage cut before it went completely over them, huh? Or did it...

That's not a rando..

I guess Connor Croft is on a Sunday drive.

Connor was fine. Was watching his stream.. still am
