TIV 2 was designed to address some of the problems experienced with the original TIV, namely its low ground clearance, lack of four-wheel drive, and low top speed. The TIV 2 has the ability to withstand wind speeds up to 130 mph (210 km/h) not deployed. Deployed, it can withstand a 250 mph (400 km/h) headwind.
TIV2 weighs in at 7 short tons (6,400 kg) and is a 4-wheel drive, 3 axle vehicle. It stands taller than the original TIV and is capable of going on mud and unpaved roads without the fear of getting stuck. The original TIV has 2-wheel drive and extremely low ground clearance that would cause it to get stuck on unpaved roads.

The process is repeated. This takes place within 2 miles (3.2 km), or 4 minutes away from the tornado itself. [18] The team had 24 2 metres (6.6 ft) high portable Sticknets, which can be set up at various locations around tornado storm cells to measure wind fields, provide atmospheric readings, and record acoustically the hail and precipitation.

The Tiv believe they moved into their present location from the southeast of Africa. It is claimed [6] that the Tiv left their Bantu kin and wandered through southern, south-central and west-central Africa before returning to the savannah lands of West African Sudan via the River Congo and Cameroon Mountains and settled at Swem, the region adjoining Cameroon and Nigeria at the beginning of ...
The Tiv people were traditionally monotheists, and local accounts state that the Tiv come from an individual called Takuluku. Their origin story is a bit similar to that of other Bantu groups; [2] the Zulu, for example, refer to this original individual as Unkulunkulu. [3] Takuluku was created by a God called Aondo.
Return to Laughter, which she wrote under the name Elenore Smith Bowen, remains a well-reviewed work, [2] and it is based on Bohannan's fieldwork in Nigeria.
