Yesterday, Woodland had a pleasant surprise from one of the Discovery Channel's Storm Chaser teams, TIV (Tornado Intercept Vehicle). The team featured on the show stopped in to say hello (and fix their trailer). We got a glimpse inside this amazing machine, hand built by Sean Casey. The 16,000-pound armored tank is outfitted with wind-resistant flaps and anchor spikes to keep him safe while filming inside a twister. The vehicle was en route to Pittsburgh where it is on display in conjunction with the IMAX film, Tornado Alley. The vehicle was also on display at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, before making its debut at Woodland.
