Suppose you're making an IMAX movie about tornadoes. You'd want to get footage as close as humanly possible to the tornado, right? Maybe even footage up until, and beyond, the moment when the tornado strikes exactly where the camera is?
Yeah, that would be cool...but how?
Why, by armor-plating a Ford pickup truck, of course.
Strangely, the article fails to mention the TIV's (Tornado Intercept Vehicle) top speed and gas mileage. For myself, there's no way on Earth I'd trust my life to this thing with a tornado bearing down upon me, but there's a very good reason for that: I come from a long line of Chevy men.
