Drones would be excellent for data collection in tornados.

Are drones currently being used for data collection by flying them into tornados “Twister” style? I would think that meteorologist could strap data sensors connected to a small arduino or similar electronics control board onto a drone that is cheap enough that it wouldn’t be a significant financial loss if you weren’t able to recover it (assuming you most likely wouldn’t recover it) yet high enough quality that it could ride the wind speeds long enough to collect plenty of data points. Curious because I live in a state and particular area that has always been a hot spot but isn’t known to have many storm chasers. There are a few that have been here during predicted tornado activity but it’s not a state that sees many storm chasers. I’ve personally been within 20 miles of more tornadoes than I can remember and had 3-4 pass within 1500 feet of my location at the time. So this is something I’d like to pursue as a hobby. I’m certain that I could buy/or even DIY build a drone capable and attach various sensors that would be useful if it’s possible.
