This was taken as it entered the city of Pampa and it’s got to be the best tornado Footage taken by a Gray County Sheriff (I don’t remember the name of him) but it’s black & white so here it is
This is the Cyclone cruiser 4 with a Windspeed reader as it has a 320 threshold deployed and 160 undeployed besides that its quite….big it’s a BTR-80 chassis with the suspension being kept up by airbags which has 4 of them and 8 spikes which dig 8 ft in the ground and the Secret is the wheels they don’t just stay on the ground they lift up which is a lot better than my uglier Cyclone Cruiser 3 this is angled front and back its basically a Doohickey machine as I call it but its angled on the sides too but the door… is basically a watertight Bulk head as the armour is CrCoNi, it has a thickness of 1/4th
any art websites that are good?
it’s got a airbag System and 4 heavy duty spikes it’s modified on a Toyota Hilux SUV it has no Mesonet it’s got 190 mph threshold and 130 undeployed it also has hailpoof windows for any large hail the windows are only a metal fence also its hood is protected on top above for any hidden hail or debris it takes 8 seconds for the spikes and 2 seconds for the airbags also it’s got 4Warn decals
spikes: 8
max threshold is 280 deployed and 145 un-deployed as it will be used for mid EF5 Intercepts and High end EF4’s like Hallam which it would fare but above 280 and it would be lifted like a normal vehicle
speed off-road and on-road: 120-95
seats: 2
max deploy time: 20 seconds
airbags: 5
protection: ASTR windows, Margal Steel Grade C400
weight: 36000 lbs

(Note: I messed up the text above its supposed to be “Chassis is on”)
second variant of the cyclone cruiser is made! the chassis is a International CXT Pickup Truck the weight isnt known yet but it’s max threshold is 160 to 250 due to it being 15000 pounds it’s also much more of a research intercepter as the protection is laminated glass and heavy duty 15 inch spikes which dig 60 inches in the ground as the mesonet is welded to the top roof as it will be used for more Violent EF4‘s and mid EF5‘s
A project in the making has been finished I made the Cyclone Cruiser a tornado intercepter vehicle based off a 1988 Toyota Hilux the max metal strength is from the toughest metal of 250 psi which the max strength of 300 mph glass is 250 mph and there are 6 spikes inside the vehicle hidden airbags are included as well its Also angled everywhere but the bottom so winds could not even lift it since its my first angled intercepter so the threshold of undeployed id say 145 since it’s using 250 and 300 mph metal and bulletproof glass aswell as the max driving speed is 102.5 MPH on highways so it can get a intercept from violent tornadoes to catastrophic ones it can carry only 2 probes for a impossible intercept if it’s above 265 mph of its max deployed speed the deploy times is 5 seconds for the airbags and 9 seconds for the spikes so 14 seconds of deployment time
