We all went back for a tour of the SPC
(Storm Prediction Centre)

The original NOAA "Dorothy" from twister..

This probe does not release things into the Tornado.. it just measures data.
It was never successfully deployed.

Movie props next to the real thing.

One of the original "Dorothy's" from the 1990's movie twister.

The other Dorothy is in the Twister Museum in Kansas.
