Into the Heart of a Tornado: The OTUS Project

The OTUS Project uses drones to take viewers inside tornadoes while collecting valuable scientific data. Louis Tucker, the nonprofit's executive director, joined FOX Weather to discuss the project and its mission to advance tornado research. During a direct intercept of an EF-3 tornado near Dix, Illinois, the drone measured three-dimensional wind loads and thermodynamic conditions, offering rare insight into the storm's inner workings while capturing remarkable footage.
