Dominator 2 spotted in Your Region 8

You know it’s going to be stormy when the Dominator rolls into town.

Christopher L. Mullins of Batesville snapped this photo of extreme storm chaser Reed Timmer’s storm interceptor known as Dominator 2.

Covered with steel plating, Timmer has called the vehicle “bomb proof.”

He and his crew have used it to ride out tornadoes and severe weather all across the heartland. 

And now it’s in Your Region 8.

Chief Meteorologist Ryan Vaughan will be tracking the storms all night on air and online at www.kait8.com.
