TIV

The TIVs are a series of intercepting vehicles built by storm chasers and are used for getting images from inside a tornado.

Design
The traditional design of the TIV is a modified SUV with aluminum armor and pneumatic spikes for anchors, every new vehicle in the "classic TIV era" as chasers call it featured only minor upgrades, but then came along the TIV Mark 8, this version of the TIV has adjustable skirts for keeping the wind from getting under the vehicle as well as an Observation Dome for better observation of a tornado. They also have hydraulic anchors instead of pneumatic ones. Every TIV produced after this was based on the Mark 8's design. And only veteran chasers use the older models.
