Tim was getting data that you can not get any other way – particularly the first two to three meters where it is most violent. It is unfortunate that Tim, Paul and Carl perished in the El Reno storm – because the data he might have collected would have likely saved lives. Twistex was a very special and dedicated team. I Just don't see any other way of gathering this data other than In-Situ probes – which is a little bit like looking down a shotgun barrel – pulling the trigger and getting your head out of the way. Perhaps some way of auto deploying from the underside of an armored vehicle like the Dominator or TIV? like a mother turtle laying eggs?? But even those vehicles can't take much more than an EF-3 and if the storm hurled a two by four and the vehicle took a direct hit – the people are dead.
I can’t wait to Storm Chase!
Little known fact for you. That McDonalds cheeseburger was one of Tim’s lucky charms that he always left on his dash.
That’s sad???????

The footage of the tornado as a wedge/stovepipe was actually taken before the footage of it as a rope.

Omg,the tornado was over the cameraman's head.
He could do a 120 degree turn but you could still see it.
