One of the most amusing aspects of Vortex 2 was the general public's reaction to first seeing Sean Casey's Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2. It's big, it's completely surrounded with steel armor, it's kevlar lined, it has bulletproof glass, it has pneumatic stakes that shoot into the ground to anchor it down -- it is, in a word, enigmatic. Thus, your average person seeing it cruising down the interstate or out on some dusty road or, in this case, parked in front of a Village Inn in Salina, Kansas, will stop, and pause, and stare, and give it a look something akin to the look that a cat would give to a purring dog.

Oh, that is just TOO funny!!!! Great catch!
That title exactly describes the looks on their faces. Good one!
I think my first thought would be to find cover... if I see that vehicle there must be some crazy storms coming! Love the blog. Thanks for chasing the storms I don't have the guts to.
oh please, come capture our florida storms.
great people picture.
On the trucks I used to help build, we called those legs outriggers. They'd put those to the ground and the truck would lift itself up off the ground before the crane would raise up. Humorous shot!!!
I like this one. I bet it would be something to see.
That's crazy amazing - the vehicle that is. LOL re the looks, but totally understandable.
