00:00:25now
00:00:43I just don’t think you’re gonna see
00:00:46anything right now there’s a lot of
00:00:47precip surrounding what’s a little
00:00:50tornado in the center so there’s a big
00:00:51eye and a little eye so it’s gonna be
00:00:54very hard to see it’s something when you
00:00:56can see the tornado coming at you and
00:00:58you can prepare yourself to be hit
00:01:00there’s another thing to kind of have
00:01:01your eyes closed and to have this
00:01:03monster that’s kind of lurking in this
00:01:05huge frame curtain
00:01:09Josh now directs tip toward the
00:01:11intercept Sean takes the ready position
00:01:15pointing the front of the tip into the
00:01:18tornado the front is designed to
00:01:21withstand the most violent winds and
00:01:23debris
00:01:35it
00:01:37regular water
00:01:48wind speeds outside reach nearly a
00:01:50hundred and five miles per hour but the
00:01:54science data logger attached to the
00:01:56instruments on the tip isn’t recording
00:01:58and Sean abandons his IMAX camera
00:02:02because it’s too dark
00:02:05still the basic idea worked
00:02:08they found a tornado and they
00:02:10intercepted
00:02:25you wouldn’t call it a dry run but it
00:02:28was a great test drive
