VIDEO: Storm Chaser Gets Caught Inside of a Tornado in Minnesota

There are three kinds of people when it comes to storms: the people who go protect themselves in their basement, the people who stand in the garage and watch, and Reed Timmer.

Reed Timmer is a big-time storm chaser. He even has a vehicle that was made to withstand these insane storms called The Dominator. He goes all around the US chasing storms, reporting on them, and doing live videos.

"Extreme weather science, firsthand," as he says on his Facebook.

Storm Chaser Reed Timmer in Minnesota

Earlier this week, northern Minnesota saw some crazy storms, specifically in Beltrami County. You'd better believe Reed, The Dominator, and his team were there for it.

(PS - I hope this goes without saying, but don't try this at home. Reed is a professional and has the tools he needs to stay safe in situations like this. You, most likely, do not.)

The beast, The Dominator, was in northwest Minnesota on Sunday, June 22nd, waiting for storm cells to produce. Well, the storm definitely delivered.

Massive Storm Hits Northwest Minnesota

KSTP reports that straight-line winds were as strong as a hurricane during the storm! And Reed and his team were right in the middle of it. Literally.

Reed shared a video on Monday of him and his team in The Dominator driving around northwest Minnesota. Pretty soon, they were right in the middle of the tornado!

I would want to crawl into some shelter or something after that, but not Reed. He and his team continued on and took more videos of the damage, the continuing winds, and storm cells.

What a crazy experience that must have been! Although I wonder how many tornadoes he's been in before.
