Cool: Inside A Tornado

This is amazing footage! This guy made these disk like recording units and put them in front of a tornado. We get to see it, up close and personal! Very cool.

It's a technological first. A well-placed probe fitted with 7 video cameras—6 with a 60-degree field-of-view designed to achieve a full 360-degree field-of-view (one failed during deployment, resulting in a 300-degree field-of-view) and one pointing upward—captures footage inside a tornado, providing visual data on ground wind speeds where the storm does the greatest damage. And Tim Samaras with his team of storm chasers are there to make it happen.

Very nice! Go check out the video at the National Geographic site.
