From the red, dusty fields of west Texas to the ocean of green in Montana. From the tropical Florida Keys to the dreamy landscapes in Arizona. In 2022 I drove roughly 30,000 miles documenting storms
On anticipated big days, A storm chaser might drive all the way to Iowa and only see some rain. Then turn around and drive all night back to Texas
and only see some rain. A storm Chaser might drive all the way to Montana only to get a sun burn. And sometimes a storm chaser isn’t expecting to see anything and they find a monster.
In 2022, 1240 confirmed tornadoes have been tallied. I was only able to track down a dozen of those. My third consecutive year with below average scores. Though 2022 wasn’t as epic as 2016 or 2019 for many of us, we’d be foolish to complain.

Thanks everyone for the patience and super supportive vibes! Just a heads up, some wankers pretend to be me in the comments saying baloney like “you won” and phishing people to respond to them on other networks. Don’t fall for it and if you see them harassing someone else, please let that person know it’s BS. It’s almost storm season!!!
I didn't know Americans knew the "w" word! 🤣
We love you
Thanks Hank we love you man keep it up!!
These comments aren't from people, they're all bots that are run on a script to post as many comments on as many videos as possible. The channel names will probably be changed to another big CZcamsr soon and start spamming comments on their videos.
Some other comments to look out for are ones in the replies saying something like "Finally, it's here" or "I have been waiting so long for this" followed by a link to a CZcams video.
Wooohooo can’t wait for the 2023 Storm season, hoping to chase dfw area.
dude, your editing/storytelling is superb. your shots are beautiful. Thank you
So no comment on his fancy shoes, eh? (That`s him playing the music too.)
But can you do this?
Wow. I love it when CZcamsrs of different genres/content intersect each other. Especially when it's two CZcamsrs I'm subscribed too.
I know this is one of his best yet. He keeps getting better. I would love for him to be in charge of a full length documentary about tornados sometime.
Oh SHOT ITS BOBBY.
I hope you and your family are doing well in the New Year!
Low quantity, low frequency, immensely high quality. And goes with the highs and lows of each natural season.
And I have rewatched your whole catalog so many times without getting bored.
This is what CZcams should all be.
Thanks Hank!
Appreciate it Star!
Can confirm, I occasionally come back to his videos whenever I feel bored, and just now I basically binge watched the majority of Hank's videos in 4 days flat.
I also remember watching them when I was a tiny child a long time ago back when I was much younger, and not respecting the sheer amount of concentrated love and effort he downpours into his videos.
To put it plainly, his works are _truly magnificent, and always nothing short of being something absolutely spectacular._
Frrr
I agree with you about CZcams!! Can't live without it!
Amen!
Hank could go an entire year without seeing a single tornado and I’d still be on the edge of my seat waiting for “Tornados of Year”. Amazing work as always.
1:26 for those who what to skip the intro and early spoilers heer you go
@@kitbishop6799 YOU CAN"T SKIP AHEAD!!! It's all part of the Pecos Hank experience 😁
@@andrewschwenke720for real
My favorite thing about Hank's vids are we get this entire amazing experience. A lot of other chasers it's just a bunch of driving and then maybe the tornado. With Hank we get the wildlife, the local culture, the views and just the overall enjoyment of the trip. Watching Hank's vids over the last few years has led me to start taking my time when I'm on road trips, stopping at overlooks or places to get in a quick hike for some photos, or stopping in a local small town to try some food or pop in an antique shop to see what they have. It's a lot more fun when you turn it into a mini-adventure and I feel like every time Hank takes us chasing with him, we're going on an adventure that is about a lot more than just seeing a tornado.
I can't agree more-- Hank is a story teller; not a mere storm chaser. He knows how to take his footage and weave it into a compelling story, which takes talent and work.
This perfectly encapsulates his videos, plus his own music!
You raised me one. . . Hank's use of his own music is another part of his craft-- it is almost like he can ask the storms to pick the best possible music
@@davidroyer5049 you're spot on about that! I also think his music, which is fantastic btw, matches his way of narration. It's not screaming at you, it's melodies blend with the beautiful images and his calm almost poetic description of storms. He's truly a renaissance man!
Everything you just said plus I see a lot of chasers where everything is pure drama. And its not just that they are seriously excited (totally get that and enjoy their joy and fascination) they feel they need to ham up one of natures most extraordinary forces. With Hank if hes dramatic its due to it being worthy of drama. He lets the natural drama unfold. And when he calls danger its genuine not to garner likes
Love the restraint you show in not over narrating, and letting the storm speak for itself. You also have a calm presence and allow the viewer to experience the storms through their own lens. Not to mention the timing and content of the music. Thank you! Be safe!
And yet it's not just a silent video of a tornado.
It's an excellent ballance.
His music is great and so fitting!
I agree y'all. He's the Best, and I truly feel he's a good guy. Bye my tornado buddies!! God Bless you all ❤️
Oh gods yes.
Thank you for all these years of chasing, you are such an inspiration for everyone. To another great season!
@Don't Read My Profile Picture 🤨
@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok
This video makes me so excited for the upcoming tornado season!
aye I'll drink to that
@@randomnessx3597 Based Snep :O
No one has ever done this better than you. From the storytelling to the caring about animals to the absolutely beautiful camerawork, you are the king of stormchasing. No contest. Thank you for making these.
Yup, some other stormchasers can't help but screech incoherently or yell/shout excitedly whenever they spot a tornado, making the video unwatchable, because of how grating their behavior is.
Hank's videos are mesmerizing artwork by comparison, the music, the editing, the narration all combined into a thoughtfully refined masterpiece.
Don't forget about the music, he made that too 😉
Not only are you an amazing storyteller but your videography skills are off the charts. I LOVE watching your tornado videos. You never have the obnoxious screaming, you help the wildlife, and you care about the people effected by the storm. You stay safe and keep hunting!
Hank, I don't know if you read comments like this, but when I discovered your channel back in 2016 when I was a high school freshman, I was blown away with your stormchasing videos
I didn't know it at the time, but meteorology has become a passion of mine and I intend to explore meteorology when I go from community college to university this fall.
Happy Trails!
Hang in there. The secrete of getting through grad school is not quitting. Eventually they'll pass you on just to be rid of you.
Best of luck to you!
Job security! There's always weather!
@@donniev8181 Is it difficult to get a job with a meteorology degree?
Lucky dog! I wasn’t able to afford it and my family already had tons of college debt. You better get that schooling for people like me! I’m proud of you friend!
Hank, I want to tell you that I view your videos as art. I mean that sincerely. The way you edit these scenes, your narration and choices of music, the quality of the photography and your obvious passion reach me emotionally. I teared up just a bit at the foxes reacting to the red sprites, laughed at the mounted deer rump and was awestruck by the dusty tornado. That was mighty close, and that sound...damn! Anywho, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching your work. Thank you, kind sir.
well said
Wholeheartedly agree, I’m pretty sure he’s the one who makes the music also! One of my fav content creators ever.
@@raidenkruckenberg8843 His music is outstanding! Like I’d love to see his band live if he has one! :) 🏆🎸
Yes. The only channel I watched with the best resolution I can get/afford. 🥰
Hank does most of his own music!
Hey there Hank, I just wanted to thank you for your videos because they’ve really helped me over the last year or so. I ended up getting caught in the Winterset EF-4 on March 5 of last year (literally drove right through the outer edge of the funnel) and it left me with some trauma regarding thunderstorms. Your videos have really helped soothe my anxiety, since your calm narration and the way you frame even the most violent tornadoes as beautiful and awe-inspiring make it seem less scary somehow. Thanks for all your hard work, I wish you luck in this coming storm season.
My former sister in law’s house was destroyed by the Winterest tornado. Her, her husband, and her son (I believe he was about 4-6 months old) were driving home but thankfully they were not physically harmed. I can’t imagine the trauma of it all thou. I’m glad you were able to get out safely!
@@kaylapodelco5327 Oh man, I’m so glad they were okay. We had a reverse situation, we were told that the storm was coming towards us and decided to leave since we live in a mobile home park with no underground shelter. Ironically enough the park was fine lol.
Your pfp gives me mad nostalgia
Every Hank upload feels like a long-awaited movie release. Love the production quality of your videos man!
But oh, so much more worth watching!
Even if you didn't manage to film a single tornado I'd still watch just for the excellent music. Thanks for another great video, Hank.
agreed
Agreed he put me on a totally new type of genre
so you like the music more than the video, yeah? smh
He is an artist
@@alluseri Hank is damn good, he does it all and puts out spectacular content!
Hank is the type of guy to make the most out of any given situation, love it
Please never stop making these videos. I just can't thank you enough for all the journeys you take us, the audience, on.
It seems like he just hit a million followers! I hope this means more frequent posts :')
Just want to say - The musical transition at 14:55 was really incredibly done!
Beautiful, beautiful footage as always! Your storm compilation videos are an annual treat. :) Thank you for what you do!
it wasn't just a transition, i'm pretty sure he actually made an entire song using the hotel bed as the drumline
@@brandon0sh ;)
@@brandon0sh the full song is called El Reno Blues
@@saladshla ah, you're right. im sad, but it was still a cool transition
I love Hank’s videos because they allow me to see the American west, a place I love and miss tremendously. The colors, the vistas, the skies, the wide open expanses. It makes me remember things not contained in the videos, like the smells of the west or how the sun feels in west Texas or Montana. The west for me is like my high school sweetheart, she’s been gone from me for a long time but I always have a place in my heart for her. Thank you for everything you do Hank ✌️❤️
I am watching you since 2018 and ive always lurked. With this video release, i would like to say that you have such an amazing atmosphere in your videos. Your kindness with every animal and just the sheer amount of production quality is just the best. Keep up the great work!
From a fellow lurker, I can relate. Appreciate you chiming in Skill.
Hank, any chance of compilation DVDs of your work? If so when and where?
Every time you post, no matter what it is, or how short or how long, I always wind up going back and rewatching almost your entire channel, seeking that more of that incredible warm and furry awe that I get from watching your incredible productions and enjoying them all so, so much.
You are truly an incredible human, and I sincerely hope you are with us for a very long time to come!
Stay safe out there, and happy trails.
@@PecosHank Come on Hank....release the Bighfoot footage we know you have!
Pecos Hank is a master of documentary editing and general cinematography. It's amazing he produces this stuff on his own, including composing haunting music for it. Favorite tornado chasing channel.
it helps that he has a band called the Southern Backtones. Go check em out, they did all the music you hear in these videos.
@@Vexnatos thanks for that info because I especially love his distinctive music! ❤️
Agreed! 🌿🌻🌿❤️❤️❤️
If you film, edited and narrated corn growing…I’d watch! Lol! I’m sure you’ve felt that’s what you’re doing…a lot! God bless…stay safe! 🌿🌻🌿❤️❤️❤️
Imagine being a tornado, quite possibly one of the most dangerous weather phenomena on the planet, and the only thing people could say about you is that you tormented prairie dogs and flung grasshoppers.
Hank, I swear to god - for the last few years, the parts of your videos that I have looked forward to the most are your captures of red sprites with that laid-back, lonely guitar plucking along perfectly in time with these amazing captures. The amount of time you must spend in editing getting the timing just right is revolting, but the effect is incredible.
You've given an atmospheric phenomenon a leitmotif/theme song and I love it.
Thank you for inspiring everyone, including me, to go out and brave the storms! Its a great day when Hank posts!
Edit: I almost forgot Happy Trails! :)
@Don't Read My Profile Picture Don't slob on my knob.
It’s always a good day when Hank posts.
Happy Trails, lads.
I was on a film shoot and a couple of storm chasers were there, and the first person I brought up was you, my friend. It’s been a while since we talked, but I hope you’re doing well. Your work is always appreciated and you truly are changing the storm chasing landscape for the better. You are a beautiful story teller and I can’t wait for us to get a chance to work together someday.
Hank never fails to present us with an amazing video! I always look forward to these videos at the end of each year!
@Don't Read My Profile Picture ok i wont!
His music gives me chills
technically its the begging of the year lol.
@@hebrewhammer4086 give the man a second to edit his amazing footage lol
@@marcbabineau6001 oh for sure. I got no problems him uploading it whenever. Was just being a twat purposely lol
Musician, herpetologist, filmographer, storyteller, tornado wrangler. Much respect for Pecos Hank, a Great American.
The master of tornado videography does it again! Even if the season was below-average personally, the experiences you shared with us were gripping, thrilling, and terrifying (particularly May 23rd). Here's to a great 2023 storm season, for all of us!
Somehow Hank is able to keep improving on perfection. His videos are such a sweet blend of art and science.
At last- the height of the entire year has arrived. Thanks Hank, you never disappoint.
No matter how rough the road can get hank, please remember how much all of us love every single thing you post. We support you fully and can't wait for the next video!
I like to call you the Bob Ross of stormchasing, because you have a knack for putting folks at ease and showing them the beauty you see in the world, and that's a wonderful gift to share.
Here's to another great year of storms and sights.
May your roads be well-paved, and your gas station food be well-cooked.
Tornado: heading directly at Hank
Hank: tumbleweed! :D
6:47
There’s something just so calming yet terrifying about tornados. Love it
Always a good day when Hank uploads. On another note I wanna thank you Hank for all that you do. Your videos have taught me so much about storms and I appreciate that so much. ❤️ keep up all the amazing work you do
It's always a good day when Pecos Hank releases a video like this. I can't help but feel like I'm there with him in the passenger seat, accompanying him on his journeys across America :)
good
wow!!! Thank you so very much for publishing the weather events you were able to capture so we can all enjoy them. I've never seen those red "sprites" before~beautiful!! The different landscapes you are able to traverse while gathering photos is really breathtaking and amazing. What a beautiful planet and Country we live in.
What a year it has been for storm chasers! Hope 2023 has beautiful yet safe tornadoes!
It has already been pretty good year. There was an EF3 that hit central AL
@@The-Drone-Hobbyist there’s been over 200 tornados. I’ve kept track lol
@@RG6Gamin quite a bit I’d say
Hank, your videos, music, and meteorological education are well worth the wait. It's always such a genuine pleasure to watch you on so many of your adventures.
The images that you capture are incredible!
this compilation is amazing. i wish you the best health and luck in storm chasing. these vids are absolutely stunning! keep taking time lapses of the night sky and sprites, literally the prettiest frames and shots i have ever seen in my life!!!
You know, even if you weren't able to capture many beautiful and terrifying tornadoes, just your adventures sewed in with masterpiece editing and composition is more than enough for me to enjoy. The well-timed lightning strikes with the musical score, the smooth timelapses of storm roll-ins and your narration are a perfect serenade of satisfaction. Thanks for always sticking out there with Mother Nature, you rock! \m/
I found your channel during COVID while I was teaching a school pod, one of the boys loved tornados and your channel was the perfect tool, intense but not too much and very informative, plus he liked how you took care of animals in your path. I don't teach them anymore but I'm still watching, for all the reasons listed above! Thanks for years of great content
Every single one of your videos gives me chills. There is no ‘bad’ year of photography when it comes to this channel. Looking forward to the year ahead
Your camera work on these tornadoes is spectacular. I always come back to this channel to watch the beauty of these tornadoes. Congrats on a million subs!
Thank you Pecos for capturing the wonder of nature. You make a simple blade of grass feel charming and entertaining to watch. Appreciate all the work you put into everything you do! Cheers 🎉
what most impresses me is that you get ectremely close to those tornadoes, you literally capture amazing footage, you are literally one of my fav storm chasers heheh
It's always good to see Hank and Daniel Shaw chasing storms. been waiting for this video thanks for your amazing work Hank stay safe
3K upvotes in 1+ hour! We do like our tornadoes and Hank is such a delight to watch in multiple ways. 🙂
I love your videos so much. As someone who has always had a fear of tornadoes, the info you provide and the insane images of these storms is super fascinating and helpful for me. 💕 I’ll always be tuning in to watch!
Y'know it's gonna be a good day when Pecos Hank uploads, thank you for all your amazing storm chasing content, your videos never cease to amaze me
11:24
_"Here comes the hail"_
*BONK*
_"Yeahh"_
Thank you so much for all of the effort that goes into your videos, Hank. You and your work are so, so appreciated. 💙
The way you manage to capture mother nature’s terrifying beauty is honestly a form of art. Here’s to another great year of storm chasing for you, Hank!
I see a Pecos video, I click instantly! Ten thousand views in under an hour - well deserved sir! I'm very happy to see you're still around and making videos.
You are one of the nicest souls out there. Who knew a storm chaser could be a poet? I can close my eyes and listen to you describing a tornado and I can see what it looks like. Stay safe out there.
"That's why I hate getting too close" as he gets closer every time. 😄 Thank you for always giving us incredible footage and views of weather most will never see in person. 🌪 Hopefully the coffee was good during your chases last year, happy trails!
At the time 13:16 there is like 100 tumble weeds and also October 13 2022 an unknown rated tornado hit my town it damaged no homes but did ef 3 damage to trees
Crazy how you managed to capture red sprites. I really love all the times you record animals and critters, makes it wholesome.
Hank, you make hands down the best tornado content on CZcams. Every video is phenomenal.
Thank you for inspiring many people including me to go out and chase these big storms and monster tornados we all appreciate everything you do for the community.
Happy trails!
Oh .....Sweetheart....it doesn't matter how many you get....I ain't countin'....
Your photography and story telling is second to NONE!!!
I am SO HAPPY to see you here on the tube again...I was afraid you had quit!!!
BEAUTIFUL 2022
Another year, another captivating compilation of what you were able to wrangle up in 2022. Your storytelling is like no other Hank, and I look forward to see what you document in the 2023 season. Incredible work as always, hope you're able to document some more burritos over the great plains! Stay safe out there 👌
Your footage of that dusty storm in Texas with the vortices wrapping up into the mesocyclone leading up to the larger twister was just like watching some of Dr. Leigh Orf's simulations play out IRL. Amazing stuff!
I used to leave your videos on for my grandmother to watch. Since she passed I have been binge watching your content. Thanks for the good times hank❤️
Thank you for all you do. Never wouldve known about sprites, the science and majesty that is a tornado season.
To think you spend months travelling for all this amazing footage! Many blessings to you and all the animals we save 😊
Even with the lack of results for this year compared to all the last, you still uploaded the as if it was the same results with the same enthusiasm. People like this are what CZcams needs, those who have the same amount of dedication for their videos no matter the results. Proud to have been watching and subscribed for many years :)
this is my first time on your channel and I am ENRAPTURED by your personality and humor Hank!
It's always a joy and privilege to see the culmination of a year's storms shot by your camera, Hank!
This man produces the highest quality storm chasing videos on CZcams. I dare say, the highest quality of any videos on CZcams! Keep doing what you are doing Hank!
You make the best videos whether there is a tornado or no tornado. Your storytelling and tidbits of information is done so beautifully, eloquently and creatively..it's great entertainment. Stay safe and thanks for making us happy watchers 😁
finally, its here! ive been waiting for a while and today i was wondering when the 2022 season would be posted. your work is incredible, hank, and youre the one who inspires me to become a research meteorologist. im so excited to go on adventures and chase storms. i may be young, but i have a passion just like you. i seriously appreciate you.
Good chance we’ll run into each other under the meso. You’ve got the weather bug too.
@@PecosHank i pray we do...my future looks bright being a weather scientist
3:32 Love the transition here, the sound of the coffee machine blend surprisingly well with lightning 😂
Pecos Hank, I've watched close to 1k CZcams videos over the last 2 or so years. You are in my top 5 presenters. When you fed the anoles, scoot various wayward animals across roadways, you had me. You are a nice. conscientious fellow who works alone. Thanks for the tornados, and caring for the critters.
It's always a good day when Hank uploads a new video. Many thanks for your laid back attitude to storm chasing and incredible videos pal.
I love your work! Not just the chasing but the editing, music, narrating, producing, videography, photography! You always create a mini-epic adventure and take us along with you! My favorite parts are when you showcase snakes and help them, turtles and other wildlife across the roads. Cannot wait for your journeys in 2023!
Ive been watching you since i was like 13 years old and i am now 23, last storm season my boyfriend found your content and was so excited to show me only to find out i already knew about your magic! I love your storytelling so damn much, we wish you safe travels on the road this year!
That was great Hank!! Love the tumbleweeds and a Dan Shaw cameo to add to the excitement of the storms. Thank you once again for a rain wrap up 2022 😁
Omg yes!!! You make me super happy! The 'Tornadoes Of 20__' series is so awesome to watch! Definitely gonna be watching this one over and over again! It's amazing how much work you put into these videos, especially the fact you can write music that perfectly fits the video! The transition at 15:00 was perfect! Wishing you a good storm season, hope all goes well😁
From the atmospherically boring south of England, thanks for showing us how dynamic our world truly is
I would love to see all your videos on a 3 hour loop lol.. I could really go to sleep listening to your videos. They aren't boring. Far from it. You're so calm. The music is great, love the thunder and the wind. Outstanding every time!! ❤
7:59 Cool...our favourite snake crossing-guard is back! Stay Twisted (in the most wholesome way, Hank!) in 2023! 🌪💨😎
Excellent videography and storytelling as usual. Maybe in the "off season" you could do a video on the equipment you're currently using, how you outfit your car, what microphones, and which software you use for editing. A "behind the scenes" kind of video.
Man you have honestly cured my fear of tornadoes with your videography and story telling
Thanks for another tornado season, I fall asleep to your videos, they are so quiet, with beautiful music... I absolutely love summer storms, good luck for 2023
Wow, I am wowed, Hank. Thank you for sharing this peek into your Storm Chasing Year of 2022.
As always, your work is stunning, breathtakingly beautiful as well as sometimes so immediate as to be terrifying [or at least frightening] when the Burritos appear though your lens. I know you have done a lot-LOT of work to prepare this, and am really grateful for those hours, and that you emerged from 2022 safe and hopefully, happy.
his videos are like therapy to me. they're so mesmerizing, calming and relaxing. so thankful i found this channel when i was in 4th grade. kudos to you!!
I haven’t seen many of your videos, but Hank, the quality you put into your videos and the storytelling is immaculate! Can’t wait for the 2023 season!
What I wouldn't give to see an hour long video of the immense beauty you capture hank! It's all just absolutely breathtaking! ❤
From Australia mate, awesome editing, epic story-telling, music matching was superb. Mixing and layering the mattress and the hose with the blues number was brilliant. Well done, thanks for all the effort and awesome scenery. Champion. 🏆🏆🏆
Been watching your channel since 2015 and these videos are always the ones i look forward too each year. Thanks for all your vast information on weather, your breath taking shots, and kick ass music over the years. Happy hunting in 2023! Keep killn it Pecos
Thanks for everything you do Hank! Even a below average year is spectacular in your videos. Here's to a more active 2023!
Hank has a beautiful heart and sprit . If you haven't seen him feed his lizards your in for a treat .he always stops to help all animals cross the road and that's when his heart shines . God bless you hank your a dieing bread . Few and far between like you .
I love this update and you are a legend! Thanks for taking the time to upload these videos. Here in Cornwall, UK, I've only had one funnel cloud this past year. Keep up the great work.
I have had mad respect for you as a chaser for years! Your videos only just get better and better. Come by the Midwest sometime! I feel like severe storms have been increasing over the years out here.
I never get over how cool these videos are. Your narration is incredible. Probably my favorite channel on CZcams
Amazing editing! 15:08 was a neat trick with the audio. Love your content
Congrats on a million Hank! It is more than deserved!
Hank your videos are always a treat to watch for sure keep up what your doing man let's see what 2023 will bring in terms of storms and tornados
Never disappoints. Always beautiful scenery and content …..and the tornados aren’t to bad either! Keep it up Hank!
This is a classic! Love your productions Pecos Hank! Always look forward to them!
Are we not gonna talk about the lightning syncing with the guitar at 8:29? Amazing
Recently discovered your channel and have been binging all your videos. Your videography, storytelling, and musical enhancements are all incredible and mesmerizing! I'm particularly fond of the animal friends you kindly introduce us to, and as an animal lover I really appreciate your concern for and care of the critters who cross your path. I pray you stay safe and can continue to bless us with such quality content for many years to come!
