As Hurricane Dorian was traveling up the east coast, so was a team from local news Station WRAL-TV. Just a few days before Dorian was changing course, WRAL had received a custom built "Storm Tracker" with multiple cameras, radar, and satellite communications. While "storm chasers" are hardly a new concept, the team at WRAL feels that this is one of the smallest, most agile radar equipped news vehicles in the US, and was certainly put to the test with Hurricane Dorian. For more information on the truck, check out "‘Storm Tracker’ to take WRAL meteorologists into the eye of the storm" and its video introduction, and for more information about its use during Hurricane Dorian last week look at "Inside a hurricane: WRAL crew chasing Dorian in ‘Storm Tracker’ is back on road Friday"
