Tornado-Proof Truck Helps Cinematographer Go After the Money Shot


I have, as has been previously mentioned, a motorcycle. Thus I have a working (hee hee) knowledge of 110+ mph winds.

I've also been out and about in 150+ mph winds. I say "150+" because anemometers tend to cut out at around 150 mph. This was during an ill-fated "rescue" attempt of one of my good buddies, so when I read this-

“The first was like being sandblasted by 70- to 80-mph winds. The last tornado was rain-wrapped. You couldn’t see the tornado. We just drove right into it,” recalls Casey. “The wind reading was 55 meters per second, so maybe 110 mph.”

One word comes to mind.

Fag.
