The article above that Daface posted claims they were in a chevy cobalt.

I hadn't even noticed that. I wonder why the hell they'd be in a Cobalt though - not exactly a good car to transport a bunch of equipment in.

Great for a free ride to Kansas tho

Wow that is nuts.

Especially not their equipment, so either:

A) They were with a team and someone else was driving the equipment truck

or B) This wasn't a research chase for them

That said, given the monster width of the tornado, it answers part of the reason so many chasers were likely caught off guard.

Not only that, but it expanded from 1 mile wide to 2.6 miles wide in approximately 30 seconds.
