I'm gonna put a big rotating disco ball on top of my vehicle and have 6 amber spotlights on it.

I've often times felt exposed on the side of the road to drivers paying more attention to the storm than the road but luckily my Rodeo came equipped with a feature for just such a situation. It's a big red button on the dash that turns on the hazard lights... changed my life.

You must be one of those guys running hazard lights that slow down and pull off the road unexpectedly and without warning, because your hazard lights were on, your turn signals didn't work!
Not picking on you, just making a point. Many vehicles the turns and hazards use the same bulb and render your turn signals useless. I've had the above happen MANY times in front of me.

Yeah, I've seen that too David. I'm always very deliberate about turning them off before hoppin back on the road. Awesome tank explosion video by the way.

Are you really taking that out of your bathroom or are you getting a new one?

Sorry no lightbar here...
Just have a rotating LED (amber) light for use in poor visibility.

Just for those interested in massively overdone lighting, take a look at this ridiculous setup. What shocks me here, is it's for an actual legitimate civil service. How un-professional does that look? 
It's possible that it's for public events, but even still, holy s***!

Nobody wants to do the Ghostbuster's thing, eh?
I think the siren alone on that thing would be enough of a warning for people, but then again they would probably think they were being warned from ghosts instead of tornadoes.

The Lubbock EMS Fox trucks look a lot like that in lights. They have dual sirens I believe too. You do NOT miss them coming!

Ya, that many lights is crazy. Once I'm a volunteer FF i'll probably run led windshield, headlight wig-wags and around here, they require some sort of lightbar on top, probably just get a mini led bar. I will however run dual sirens. Being able to respond code 3 with a phaser and hi-lo running get's people's attention quickly.
I've been on ride-alongs with my friend here in town numerous times, he runs dual sirens and clears traffic with ease..

Okay, after searching and searching for a lightbar stormchaser car/truck video to compare what is a good setup and what is not a good setup I found this.
The video was taken in 2007, not sure of the rest of the details.
