Dominator Team

calm, efficient and technically savvy practitioner.
• Driving a multi-ton, unwieldy Dominator 2 or 3 armored vehicle in hurricane-force winds and zero visibility requires incredible concentration. Dick is a man of action. He silently and meticulously followed orders, keeping the vehicle on the road when it was about to flip over.
• Unlike Chris or the late Joel Taylor, who often argued with Reed about the route, Dick was more focused on the technical task of keeping the Dominator stable and activating the hydraulic anchors in time to anchor it into the ground.
Between Reed's emotional outbursts and the constant din of the elements outside, Dick had to endure tremendous psychological pressure, and he dealt with it with a truly stoic calm.

absolute composure, professionalism and the voice of reason in the front seat.
• While Reed was screaming in delight or panic next to him, Chris held the camera steady. His job was to get the shot in focus while rooftops were flying and winds were blowing at 300 km/h. Chris had amazing mental fortitude and never gave in to panic.
• Chris often acted as a counterweight to Reed's wild ideas. He wasn't afraid of tornadoes, but he always soberly assessed the risks to his life. If Reed demanded to drive straight into a funnel, Chris could sternly rebuke him, reminding him that "dead cameramen don't edit footage."
• Chris is the perfect team player, ready to watch his leader's back even when he makes dangerous maneuvers.

pure adrenaline, fanatical devotion to science and an explosive temperament.
• Reed is famous for his behavior during tornado interceptions. When the funnel approaches, he literally explodes with shouts, yelling "Back up!" or "Forward!" at the driver, gesturing wildly. His emotions are completely sincere - he lives for thunderstorms.
• For Reed, science and data collection inside a tornado always come first, sometimes even against common sense and basic safety. He's willing to risk his vehicle and ram the storm to get sensors into the core.
• As a leader, Reed often takes all the decisions personally, which regularly led to heated arguments with the team in the confined space of the Dominator armored vehicle. However, he possesses a unique meteorological intuition that the team ultimately always trusted.
