That's some serious updraft tilting

Dominator almost got pushed off the road way...once that thing rolls...all bets are off. I'm honestly surprised Reed is still alive.

He does have 5 point harness seat belts which helps.
They need helmets in there as well
The girl in the back had one on which was a smart thing to do.

5 point harness or not, the Dominator has two huge design flaws...lack of an internal roll cage and a high center of gravity. One of these days, it's gonna get tossed.

The weather channel was just talking about this video and they said they have spikes they can deploy to help keep them on the ground

Well, unless he has an epiphany, it’s probably how he goes out.

Strong EF5s like Jarrell, Philadephia MS, and Smithsville AL would kill them regardless of an internal roll cage. Jarrell was strong enough to pull plumbing through concrete slabs. Philadephia MS pulled soil and asphalt out of the ground to 2’ depth. Those tornados mangled cars to the point that they were a unrecognizable cubes of metal.

Is that thin line of storms extending down to Warrenton going to continue to expand to the south and fill in?

Congrats to all you lucky guys going to the airshow. I rarely miss seeing the Angels but such things as an aggravating injury, reduced tolerance for heat and plain old age are keeping me out this time. Bought 4 premium seats, on base parking pass and had everything lined up except for myself.
Hope you all enjoy it and feel the pride in the presence of these competent and brave people.
Have fun!!!

Thanks, WEAX. It's looking worse for the crowd at Scott AFB today. Sounds like a watch may be issued soon.

Probably been 15 years since I saw them at Spirit. Great show. I think this line of broken storms is slowing down, shrinking in size and headed more east than south. Maybe you guys will miss it. Good luck! |
