and releases hundredsof these sensors that measure all parts ofthe tornado simultaneously. You see, Melissa,it's like this. These sensors go up the funnel and radio back informationabout the internal structure, wind velocities,flow, asymmetries. We can learn more in 30 secondsthan in the past 30 years. Get a profile of thetornado for the first time. And what will that do? If we knew how atornado really worked, we could design anadvanced warning system. Aren't there alreadytornado warnings? They're not good enough.They're nowhere near good enough. Right now, it's three minutes. If we can get this new information, wecan increase warning time to 15 minutes. Give people a chanceto get to safety. At least, that's what theseguys are trying to do

and releases hundreds of these sensors
00:00:03.878 --> 00:00:06.087
that measure all parts of the tornado simultaneously
00:00:07.924 --> 00:00:10.002
You see Melissa it's like this
00:00:10.551 --> 00:00:12.462
These sensors go up the funnel
00:00:12.553 --> 00:00:15.059
and radio back information about the internal structure
00:00:15.682 --> 00:00:17.638
wind velocities flow asymmetries
00:00:17.725 --> 00:00:20.341
We can learn more in 30 seconds than in the past 30 years
00:00:20.436 --> 00:00:22.802
Get a profile of the tornado for the first time
00:00:22.897 --> 00:00:24.478
And what will that do
00:00:24.565 --> 00:00:26.476
If we knew how a tornado really worked
00:00:26.567 --> 00:00:28.649
we could design an advanced warning system
00:00:28.736 --> 00:00:30.522
Aren't there already tornado warnings
00:00:30.613 --> 00:00:33.032
They're not good enough They're nowhere near good enough
00:00:33.408 --> 00:00:35.194
Right now it's three minutes
00:00:35.285 --> 00:00:39.278
If we can get this new information we can increase warning time to 15 minutes
00:00:39.372 --> 00:00:41.408
Give people a chance to get to safety
00:00:41.499 --> 00:00:43.074
At least that's what these guys are trying to do

Movie Summary
Bill and Jo Harding, advanced storm chasers on the brink of divorce, must join together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes.
