TWISTEX (a backronym for Tactical Weather-Instrumented Sampling in/near Tornadoes EXperiment) was a tornado research experiment that was founded and led by Tim Samaras of Bennett, Colorado, US, that ended with the deaths of three researchers in the 2013 El Reno tornado. The project later announced in 2015 that there were plans for future operations; however, no such operations had occurred afterwards.
