Compared with other types of storm tornadoes are small and form quickly. Such specific events are very difficult to predict with any accuracy. This also makes it difficult to get the equipment in the right place at the right time. Even when the timing and placement is right there is still concern for the scientists working in the field as in addiction to the tornadoes themselves there are also the hazards of hail, lightning, slick roads, downed power lines, and flash floods.

On the rare occasions that data gathering equipment is deployed in a tornado, those instruments can still be damaged destroyed by the violent tornadic winds as was the case of the first tornado probe.

Why are tornadoes hard to find?

Tornadoes are generally hard to find because they are rare. In The United States, about 1200 tornadoes touch down in an average year. That may seem like a lot until you realize how large of an area they are spread over. Additionally, much of the activity occurs in remote rural areas that are inconvenient to get simply because of the long driving distances. Even when tornadoes do occur, they are not always highly visible. Many are obscured by rain.
