Inside the Arnett, OK tornado - May 18, 2025

Shared: | Tags: weather

On May 18, 2025, the OTUS [Observations of Tornadoes by UAV Systems] project used specially designed drones to collect scientific data inside of a tornado near Arnett, OK. This was our second drone intercept of the day. OTUS has an FAA-approved waiver to fly drones in tornadoes.

This is the first of four videos currently uploaded to their YouTube channel, all of which are impressive. Their Bluesky has a few more posts.

This was discovered through Tom Scott's Newsletter.
