How do the TIV-2's design features contribute to the safety of the chase crew, and what specific challenges does the vehicle address?

The article describes a storm-chasing expedition using the TIV-2, a heavily-armored vehicle, in Tornado Alley during the peak season (April-June). While a high-potential storm was predicted on May 19th, resulting in numerous chasers taking to the field, no tornadoes were observed, highlighting the unpredictable nature of tornado formation despite advanced forecasting. This contrasts with previous successes mentioned by the author, demonstrating past sightings but not guaranteeing future success.
