The Tornado Intercepting vehicle (TIV), is a Ford® F150 With a custom steel frame, over 2 tons of steel plating, and V8 Engine. This vehicle is so heavy and strong it can intercept a F3 tornado with winds up to 160 mph. The actual vehicle has weather equiptment, and a doppler radar scanned by a team of "DOW" trucks (Doppler On Wheels) which I will release by memorial day 2017. This vehicle is a (almost) replica of the actual vehicle from the documentary "Tornado Intercept" by Sean Casey.
