The NBC 5 Texas Storm Fleet, the biggest, baddest bunch of weather vehicles around. Taking you to AND inside the storm with life-saving information in real time. Not only can we see the storm in more detail, but also minutes faster than other radars. And in North Texas, minutes count. The Texas Thunder Truck™, Texas StormRanger®, Texas Sky Ranger, Weather-1 and Weather-2 make up the Texas Storm Fleet. The NBC 5 Storm Fleet, keeping North Texas safe.
If you thought the Texas Storm Fleet video looked familiar, you may be remembering the intro for the 1978 film Convoy.
The movie was based on the 1975 country and western novelty song, “ convoy” by C.W. McCall and Chip Davis.
The film was made when the CB Radio/trucking craze was at its peak the United States.
The Texas Storm Fleet promotion is an homage to the trucking craze of the 70’s.
