On May 21, 2024, an EF-4 tornado tore through the town of Greenfield, Iowa. A team of researchers deployed mobile radars and instrument packs near the path to record winds speeds over 300 mph! Jen Walton recounts the terrifying moments of deploying a pod then narrowly escaping the tornado that leveled the town while Karen Kosiba and Josh Wurman share the groundbreaking data the team recorded that day and how it could revolutionize our understanding of these deadly storms.
