This is the story of a legendary vehicle. The flagship of the HurricaneTrack brand is our 2001 Chevy Tahoe. It was placed in to operation in February of 2003 and ever since, it has exceeded our expectations. The Tahoe served as our mobile weather station, aiding in the collection of valuable scientific data during some the most powerful hurricanes to make landfall in the United States in recent memory. It has also been used for severe winter storm research in the Northeast United States. The Tahoe also provided an opportunity for education through school visits from Texas to New York; bringing science, math and weather to thousands of children from kindergarten to college age. During the 15 years that the Tahoe was in service, it was featured in numerous national and international news stories on television, print media and online. It was even a part of the 2003 Coca-Cola 600 as a participant in the "parade lap" in front of tens of thousands of NASCAR fans in Charlotte, NC. After enduring extreme weather far beyond the design specifications of the vehicle, the Tahoe is now being retired and will eventually tour the country as part of a wider education initiative. It is time for a new one....there are more stories waiting to be written. As they say, to be continued.....
