If you've seen the movie "Twister," then you have a vague idea of what it looks like to be right in the middle of a tornado. With winds reaching obscene speeds and danger lurking in every corner, traveling in a storm can be devastating; the Iowa Storm Chasing Network knows this all too well, which is why they recently transformed a Ford E-350 van into a five-ton storm-chasing machine - a vehicle they like to call "Dorothy."
