Dorothy is a 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan that has been modified slightly to provide safety and usability for successful severe weather intercepts. Currently, she has the following modifications and equipment: Ultrabright lightbar that I installed in the stock roof-rack, a Setina PB100 Police grade push bar, a CB radio, weather scanner, laptop with stand, and an array of weather instruments that I will have pictures of here soon. So what is it that I do that requires all this? I am a storm chaser with Extreme Weather Storm Chasers based in Sioux Falls South Dakota. I live in Colorado and provide media coverage and local spotting for my state when severe weather strikes. When people normally run from storms, I am there headed stright for them. So have a look around, and thanks for stopping by!
The weather mast includes three sensors: Hygro-thermal, anemometer, and rain gauge.
Here you can see the light armor I installed to protect the radar fins from hail and other debris.
