- Epic tornado outbreak video in 4K with several twins and even triplets touching down near Dodge City Kansas on May 24, 2016. To license video contact hankschyma@yahoo.com
On May 24th, 2016 a phenomenal tornado was born south of Dodge City Kansas and morphed through many dramatic shapes. But this tornado was only the first born of a family of a dozen tornadoes. Slow moving incredible tornadoes, often two and even three on the ground at the same time were battling for dominance as they tracked closer and closer to Dodge City. Several homes were damaged earning a couple tornadoes EF3 ratings, however most of the tornadoes tracked just west of the heavier populated areas of Dodge City. No fatalities were reported, however two critical injuries were.
A tornado family is a series of tornadoes spawned by the same supercell thunderstorm"
CYCLONIC STORM ROTATION EXPLANATION:
Storm rotations that spin counter-clockwise in the Northern hemisphere are said to be cyclonic. This motion is due to the earth's rotation setting up a force called the Coriolis force that pulls the winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. So when a low pressure starts to form north of the equator, the surface winds will flow inward trying to fill in the low and will be deflected to the right and a counter-clockwise rotation will be initiated. The opposite, a deflection to the left and a clockwise rotation, will occur south of the equator. Sometimes mesoscale features can force rotations going "the other way." These are said to be anticyclonic and are less common. So a tornado spinning clockwise in the Northern hemisphere is an anticyclonic tornado.
CYCLIC SUPERCELL EXPLANATION:
The first tornado of this family was choked to death by a newly formed competing rotating updraft on the east side of the storm. This new rotation is feeding off of unimpeded warm unstable air to the southeast while choking its sister with its cold downdraft. When this phenomenon occurs, we label the storm as a cyclic supercell. A cyclic supercell may cycle like this several times, with a new circulation forming and choking off the older downstream circulation.
But this cyclic supercell had a surprise... The newborn rotation appeared to split into two mesocyclones. At first I thought the Eastern rotation was anticyclonic due to the clockwise rotation but upon closer inspection you can see the wall cloud underneath it is spinning counter-clockwise or cyclonic. This leads me to believe that the anticyclonic rotation or clockwise rotation is RFD curl being fed back into the updraft of the western rotation. This is the first time I've observed an RFD curl in such a symmetric, close proximity to a tornado. A result of these splitting rotations was three tornadoes on the ground at once.
SYSTEM WEATHER CONDITIONS:
Extreme instability was in place east and southeast of a low centered over the western Kansas / eastern Colorado border. Near a dry line and outflow boundary triple point, strong heating, ML CAPE from 2500-3000 j/kg, dew points near 70 degrees F and very steep mid-level lapse rates set the stage for splitting supercells with significant tornadoes.
4:08 it shocks me that even something as strong as a tornado could not only go from 0-100 just like that but it can also extinguish itself just as quickly
Tornado family be like: ok so George you go touch down in Oklahoma while sally goes touch down in Utah and mom & dad go touch down in Kansas then we all meet back up in the clouds.
So then who is telling them what to do? The storm cloud?

I hate when these end. *I need an hour long documentary from you Hank.* I'd pay to see it.
Same.
I'll see what I can do. Thanks for watching dude.
I hope something like this happens. :D
An hour-long documentary would be terrific, showing highlights of the past several years of chasing, along with clips showing what the life of a chaser is like... the long miles, the people you meet, the hazards you encounter, etc. Plus, with your music as a soundtrack, that would be perfect. Heck, I'd just be happy to watch an hour of tornado footage, set to your music. Might be a good project to tackle in the off-season. Either way, keep the great videos coming!

there's no other tornado channel on youtube with quality as good as this one. i love your videos hank.
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks Justin!
+Pecos Hank no problem :)
Guys this is pecos hanks 100th video
I think we should all congratulate him :)
graaaaaaaats wohoooooooooo!!!
Woohoooooooo! Heres to the next 100 friends! FYI, I'm gonna start deleting some of the old stuff that is redundant... The raw footage that I later gave more attention too. So I should be at 100 the next 4 or 5 uploads.
+Pecos Hank Love your videos! Are you following a particular chaser yourself? Stay safe :)
I keep an eye on the pros, especially the pioneers like Gene Moore and Howard Bluestein. Skip Talbot, Daniel Shaw, Marcus Diaz, Stephen Locke, Aaron Rigsby are also faves among others.
IM GONNA DIE IF WE HAVE ONE
My fiancée and I *both* agree that your channel is _by far_ one of the most interesting and informational channels on CZcams. Awesome job at explaining! 👏🏻I don’t think I’ve ever learned as much from a tornado video as much as I’ve learned from you! (And I watch a decent amount of tornado videos😉)
You gained a new subscriber! 🌪
Thanks for subbing. Say howdy to your fiancee for me.
Boy, talk about having to get outta Dodge. >.>
That’s kinda funny
Imagine how many tornadoes hes had to Dodge

E verdade
Your channel is amazing .ive watched other storm chasers but yours ive learned alot from thanks for everything you do .im interested in this line of work how do I get into the field?
"one twisted family"
me: Well they are called twisters in some countries so
I love the way you narrate this very rare occurrence as though tornadoes are unstoppable predators from the sky who fight each other for territory that they can gleefully swirl to it's delight. Nature has a funny way of expressing it's lethal beauty.
and how he doesnt go, "ERMUGERD A TORNADO", every five seconds, like everyone else.
Caleb Brown The thing is, tornadoes aren't as common as one would think. Some people see them once in a life time and it's something that can be very big and breath taking. I don't blame some people for reacting like that because tornadoes look like monsters that are out of this world and you just can't really help yourself. That's not to say there aren't actually some people who do over react a bit though, because there is. But it's hard to sit there in silence when something mighty and full of awe is right there before your eyes.
I used to get pretty excited too... the first dozen tornadoes or so, but it's hard to talk when your jaw is on the floor.
Pecos Hank Haha! Good way of putting it. I've never actually seen a tornado myself so I've no idea how I'd react. Love to see one though! I bet it never gets old hunting them in the US.

Anyone else have a strange passion for tornado sirens? The harmony is just nice
Bat-tastic Success Idk if you’d like the one here 😂😂
Yes
Bat-tastic Success bangla news
When I was younger I would watch tornado siren tests.
Yes I took there is an actually tornado
The way you chase these storms Hank is top-notch of any other storm chaser I’ve ever seen. You just give nature the respect and awe it deserves and the footage being filmed is so smooth and fantastic that it makes us feel like we’re actually right there with you watching and chasing the storm. Keep up the awesome work Hank, these videos are wonderful.
Wait is this where the phrase “get out of Dodge” came from? That’s awesome!
I've heard from the song by the rap group, PUBLIC ENEMY, except it has the F-word therein.
*drives to tornado*
BOI GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE
Ikr 😂
It's a job to do that apparently XD
It's his job lol
What do you expect from a storm chaser? It is their job
ay it’s pecos hank. there’s nothing he can’t outrun
How do you stay so calm I live in Canada and in a place where we have never had a tornado we had a tornado watch once and I almost passed out I was so scared
cool (I don't really care)
Bonnie Raven you cared enough to reply lol
Arrow PlayzMC omg same!! i live in Canada too and anytime theres a severe thunderstorm warning in effect and it can produce tornados i almost have panic attacks
Damon Stengel you fuking suck nigga
MrDarkpussy Oh really? How so? Also, I'm a white dude, bro.
I know it sounds crazy, but I’ve always wanted to see a tornado as close as this! They’re so beautiful and powerful, I can’t help but be mesmerized by it’s terrifying size and strength 😮
Your narration is the best thing about this clip. I have never heard anyone making a noir murder scene description by a detective who is also an exorcist of a natural phenomenon. 1 million props to you.
When I watch your videos I feel okay with watching them for hours for 2 reasons
1. They are entertaining
2. They are educational and I can feel good about learning
Thank you Madison. I'll do my best to keep it all coming.
Omg that why I watch them to it so fun to watch
+Pecos Hank hey, did you hear about the tornado that almost struck a suburb a few miles near Chicago?
you are the best chaser bro. your narration is beyond any
Glad you dig it Jeffrey!

i just picture some dude out there-smoking meth, watching tornado videos, and realized that he’s the dude who hit Pecos Hank’s car and left.
2:47 was so beautiful. Was like watching a painting.

Dude!!!!! Just found your CZcams channel and spent this public holiday watching it all. It's people like you that make me happier to be in the world. Thanks for being who you are and doing what you do. I'm going to try and time it so I come back as your grandkid!
im in Australia, we don't get tornado's like you get in the states. Despite all the tragedy and death they cause, im fascinated by them and the chasers, and all the incredible footage they provide
Tronado triler godzilla fifa
danielle playz Tornado’s most likely appear where your not at xD
The background music goes so well with what’s going on. Amazing footage!
Best Storm Chasing Channel! Epic Storm Captures! Love it!
Hank, you have the absolute best tornado videos hands down. You put all the others to shame, no joke, You have this way about you; I don't know if it's your voice, the background music or what it is, but they're so intense. Thank you so much for taking the time to share them with us! Much love ♥♥♥ from Indiana. ♥♥♥
Oh, P.S. - if you can make more and perhaps a little longer? haha! It breaks my heart to know I have to wait a while to see another one. I know, I know, you're busy. :) I'm selfish, I'm sorry! lol
Thanks Angela! I truly appreciate that. This time of year it's hard to do in depth edits so i dish out what I can. I tell you what... The Best of 2016 video is gonna be the most epic video I've made.
I'll sure it will be! Looking forward to it!
Great work Hank!
Thanks Martin.
I like how he's so calm he doesn't scream 😌 so good
I always dream about tornadoes. So beautiful and magnificent, yet destructive and chaotic.
Same, I always dream about tornados too, and I agree they are so cool, but I feel bad for saying that because they have literally ruined and ended lives of innocent people
Your narration is something I really appreciate about these videos. It's informative and has allowed me to learn quite a bit about the anatomy of super cells and tornadoes. Best tornado channel on CZcams.
Right on Shep!
another excellent video
Even tornadoes cannot escape the drama that is family.
Hur fan vågar dom åka så nära!?. Jag hade åkt åt andra hållet!!. Men fantastiskt å se deras video!. Hoppas inga liv förlorades!. Love from Sweden/Scandinavia
What are they thinking getting that close to the tornado
Frostbited Jamaa I no but just for that count me out
They’re storm chasers. Thats what they do. If they could they would go Into it
Because they know what they are doing.They aren't that close.They are keeping a safe distance.Also they get closer so they can find out the location,Width,and speed.How do I know this? Because I'm a 18 year oldmmeterolagist in training
Notcool
Their super brave they take pictures of tornados in school we had a double tornado I’m still alive that’s good
Looks like its time to get outta Dodge...
ShadowDestroyers oh dang plus 5 pun points
They need to learn to DODGE
I agree
Nice
I loved when Hank shows us tornado videos that we really want to see, have a good day Hank, happy trails BTW
This is the best tornado channel. Best shots, best videos, and a documentary all in one, love it. Xxx
At 4:07 There was a stud on the left side of the road :). I finally made it on a Pecos Hank Video YAY!
Hope to be in one of your videos one day Brent. Merry Christmas stud! :D

Anyone notice at 1:49 At the very back a new tornado? Its to far back to be from the other rotation isn't it?(if you can't see it, its in the middle but a tad to the right, really visible at 1:54)
I see it 2 years later

Cant wait for some epic chaces this season Hank! Quality content thanks man
These are some of the more beatifull shots i've seen recorded. Ever! This tornado is picture perfect! Insanely great job Pank Hecos!
Phenomenal! Great work!
I just love how you stay so calm and always keep the camera stable. Would love to meet you some day :)
And that's how the saying 'get out of Dodge' was born! 🤭
4:07 when the tornado left it looks really cool!
Pecos, I love your videos, they are calm, nice voice, collected, with good commentary and information.
Thank you for not screaming every second!
PS, lovely captures!
Im always looking forward to your videos man, thank you for uploading and going out of your way to risk your life to capture these crazy tornados =)
Thanks for watching and commenting amigo.
That is the most beautiful torn I’ve ever seen ! Your videos are awesome!

How to survive a tornado.
Be with Pecos Hank he will save you
No literally like he will save you because hes been through all these tornados and he is still alive 🌪
I love the story's you tell about tornado families. It's fascinating!
Tornado family drama check ✌🏻😙🌪 I am usually scared to watch these kinds of videos but I actually enjoy your videos
Fuck no one is scared no more .......too many people trying to get pictures and videos
lol
Julio Galindo they will be scared when they get sucked up
Julio Galindo ya
Dont worry they have to be a professional if they aren't then good luck
Joe Taylor white peoples ain scared of nothing
U da man. Love how ur narrative
Dang, the left tornado in the beginning is so picture perfect it almost doesn't look real. It's the exact image of what I see in my mind when I think of a tornado, but rarely what you actually end up seeing seems like. Amazing!
Thank you for your videos, they are amazing! We just moved to Oklahoma, and I'm terrified to be hit by one; but thanks to your videos, that I've been watching for days, I've learned what to look for!
i guess you could say that thoes people really needed to get out of dodge XDD
OMG im so scared of tornados. Sometimes i see alerts in my phone and i scream,cry, and run like crazy.
Ngl, the way you cut the suspense at the end was pretty good. Now I have to find the other parts because i'm invested lol
One of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you
This reminds me of three scenes from “Twister”

Dude, I'm pretty sure I remember this. When I was 8 and going out of state from az for the summer, we stopped at an Applebee's in Dodge City, I had never been around a tornado before that, despite the fact I'm from Iowa lol, after all the alerts went off I was scared shitless, asking the employees over and over, "are you sure we'll be safe in the walk in freezer if it comes through the town?" It was a pretty scary experience for me in general lol.
Please make the movies longer!! 15min is not enough!! Keep up the great work brother!
this is not a movie... its a video its not ment to be one hour long
+Abby Graham get the hell out of here negative Nancy. And learn how to correctly spell. How to the hell can you take that other than it's so addicting I want longer videos. And you must know nothing of film. Movies are not always an hour and a half long. A movie can be 2 minutes. How it is created. Much like his videos. So hush
+Mike Garofolo Excuse me you have no reason to go off on someone like that for no reason. Please go somewhere that you are needed because being rude like that won't get you longer videos I guarantee you.

Dodge city forever being hit with tornadoes.
I live in Dodge and I remember standing outside at 5:00 pm while i heard the sirens go off, i live a street away from the tornado sirens. I went inside to look at the news and I saw that a tornado has been spotted a couple of miles away from Dodge. I went outside again and my brother, who was at the carwash at the time (it’s normal for him to go there when there’s a storm, it protects his car from hail), sent me a video. It was 3 tornados right by the casino outside Dodge. Woo 💀 I wasn’t terrified because they weren’t close and i’ve lived in Dodge my entire life so I’ve seen plenty of tornados. It was so cool but scary cause it was flooding where I lived and the hail was hitting my head. After it cleared, above my big ass head, I saw the prettiest mammatus clouds ever.
wow ok take a swig every time I mention Dodge
Dude. The second tornado was beautiful, it was so visible at first and just god dude. Beautiful.
I want to be a storm chaser when I grow up!
IT WOULD BE SO COOL.
Grown up yet, dear?
love the way you explain what's happening with the storm. very well narrated. can't wait wait for part 2!!
Going to work on the sequel now... Weather permitting. Thanks dude!
You have set yourself apart from other storm videos. Number one in my opinion.
I swear Mother Nature creates beautiful tornadoes. I am so fascinated by tornadoes
That is absolutely amazing and beautiful I’ve never seen anything like that ever in my life! Nature can be so amazing and mind blowing at times
4:38 lol that man walk like a ghost
That’s hank
Pecos Hank, as usual, another awesome video!! THANK YOU!! 🌪⛈
I love storms and bad storms and love watching them. But once I get a tornado warning or if a storm gets too bad I get scared because I love my animals and my house.
I have studied tornadoes for years and I love to see them and film them
Better get outta Dodge!
1:58 there is a mini tornado in the back
It sure did look like it
I don’t know how this guy can survive that many tornadoes and not be scared to sleep in night
