Please tell me you're going to release a full video of this? Not just this short clip....please? Sugar on top?
Yes Cathleen. LOTS more footage from this day.
@@PecosHank Yay!
Nice
@@PecosHank Thanks Boss!
Omg that was a spooky 👻 looking storm
Every time I hear about a tornado I can always expect Pecos Hank to be filming 5ft away from it
Reed is screaming while intercepting, and Pecos is in the bear's cage and calm as anything. My chase partner is definitely the latter and I'm definitely the former - wonder how long into this season 'til they pitch me out of the car for being obnoxious lmao.
I need to ride with him set for I always wanted to see a tornado 🌪️
@@cs77smith67 Right? I feel like I could bust out for half the season and on my last day in the US, get to see a beast like this and I'd be set for life.
@@NixyRumancek wish I could get into it
@ CS77 Smith COME TO KANSAS WHERE I LIVE AND YOULL SEE PLENTY:). I’ve been in more than i want to admit lol
Hank, I can't express this enough, even knowing you as a very experienced chaser, PLEASE be careful.
Your fans care a lot about you.
Second that! Appreciate the ride-along feel on this one, though, gave me chills.
I agree, tho I also KNOW Hank does not have a death wish, and is more careful than he may sound sometimes.
It takes insiration and intuition to Storm Chase successfully and Hank has both in excess. He should sell some of these energies to other chasers so they can get close and survive without needing to change their underwear as often.
Or maybe, lecture in the off seasons so new and even veteran Chasers can expand their knowledge a bit, and stay safe while up close. Certainly the choice to push through the RFD was wise in the long run, and saved a ton of hail damage. Just how could Hank know a second tornado was birthing behind him? Oops, Siblings and Satellites are truly dangerous and demand 360 focus from every chaser [as El Reno taught us painfully.] SO glad Hank has those dashcams in the Windbreaker so he can see as wide as possible.
@@Baldevi I really like the idea of hank giving a lecture in the next off-season! We get to see all his amazing footage, but the decision making processes and techniques he uses are mostly unknown to non-chasers like myself.
Agreed!
I don't know if i would have been all in on that one if i was riding shotgun! My corn hole would have been puckered up tighter than a snare drum! BTW- how much you charge to ride shotgun Pecos Hank? I can be the Robin to your tornado Batman!...
2:44 - "It's gonna be strong. Do we wanna do that? No, we don't wanna do that. We do not wanna do that... We're gonna do it."
At the end: "It had to be done."
You're a boss, but please stay safe man.
Pecos, I just wanna say thank you for teaching me a bit about meteorology. I was in the path of the Derecho in Ontario this year. I saw the hook shape in the data. I tracked online the effects through local townships that got hit first with reddit and took all precautions. We lost power for a long time, and had to clean up several neighbors yards. I was storm-chased, but a storm chaser kept me and my family safer. Kudos, you wonderful wonderful man.
I always respected you for knowing exactly how close you can get while staying safe yet I can't help but notice you being closer and closer to these storms. While you obviously know a lot more about them than I ever will I just want to say: please stay safe don't let the hunger get the better of you.
Agreed, seeing the wind spin him around like that is a troubling feeling. To close to death even for the fans. Keep it safe man we all here love you.
@ChillLetsPlays Agreed, and I'm sure his loved ones feel the same. Some are getting far far too close, and racing a tornado? I can understand core punching for the experienced, but man. It reminds me of some stories from experienced pilots, getting too comfortable and going below their minimums. Funnily enough oftentimes regarding weather (IFR). Other time just the physical capabilities of their plane.
Stick to your minimums!
What XyrianHD said!
@@annabobanaasmr8411 get your God damn aviation terminology out of this sacred tornado video
How did you "always" respect him? Oh you've know him your whole life. OK that makes sense. Never mind. Cary on
This tornado is frighteningly huge, amazing footage you captured.
Here before this comment blows up
Here it comes
This looks like it was out of a movie!, Awesome work Hank!
@@ranethlim8405 Hope you’re not still waiting for this comment to blow up. Now you can say you were here before the comment bombed? Haha.
I had no idea you watched Hank, that's really cool!
That positioning to know where its safe and you still get a photogenic view of these storms. Absolute skill maxed. Your shots are always so clean and calm even when hell breaks loose. Love your vids
For real it’s amazing
Don't kid yourself, Hank doesn't. He knows he's in constant danger doing this and could die at any time from the tornado taking a wrong turn. He's talked about it a lot on his channel before. In order to be a storm chaser, especially one who gets up close to tornadoes and films them, you have to accept that risk. You can minimize risk as much as possible, but you can never eliminate it. There is never a "safe spot" when a tornado is on the ground nearby. And even with live radar there's a very slight delay, and the resolution might not be good enough to warn of the position of some hail cores or another developing tornado. Even a seasoned meteorologist and storm chaser can only use their best guesswork when finding a safe path close to a tornado while avoiding hail. Some storm chasers just don't even try to avoid hail. When you're chasing tornadoes, you're going into the most violent place in the entire storm system. All the rotational energy of an entire mesocyclone, focused to a single funnel. Not to mention the hail cores, outflow, inflow, straight-line winds, lightning, debris, and torrential rain. If the tornado is rain-wrapped, and/or it's night, it's even worse.
Anyway, my point is, anyone needs to be humble when it comes to storms. Know your limitations, minimize the risk as much as possible and accept the risk you can't minimize, and don't fool yourself into thinking you can call any spot around a tornado "safe". That's one of the things I like about Hank, he's like, specifically NOT one of those people who ever thinks they're safe or lets their guard down. He's always questioning his own decisions, you can hear him on camera sometimes say stuff like "Oh crap, oh no, what have I done" and stuff like that. Not a bad thing, just shows he's one of the humble storm chasers and not one of the ones that thinks they can predict the future or be "safe" near a tornado.
Although it's clear he's an experienced storm chaser, this man is really calm in dangerous situations. I would've lost my cool at some point.
South East is usually safe but tornadoes are unpredictable... El Reno 2013 proves that.
Rest in peace Tim, Paul, and Carl ❤
Calm and collected even in the face of imminent danger - the measure of a true professional. Thank you for this and all of your other videos. Stay safe man...
This is one of the more incredible tornado encounters you've done.
Thankfully, it was only sucking up farm dirt.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo I won't; it's irrelevant and doesn't even interest me.
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Too late....

You know it’s an active storm season when hank uploads 3 times in one month.
And the funny thing is that all of the tornadoes on the title card are picking up dust.
I know, I'm so excited!
Well it is May, peak storm season
@@FLINTLOCKWOODMACHINE More sad, it means there's a lot of empty dusty fields out in farm country.
funny thing is there were only about 150 tornados in May, half of the usual amount (280-300). It was actually a very slow month, he just got the most exciting ones
After 12 years and this channel is still active and incredible! Keep up this awesome work, you are the one who brought my interest to storm chasing and generally meteorology
He reminded me of my late husband whom storm chased what lightning storms were in the area, he'd lived in a tornado location and it was his excitement about extremes in weather. Pecos Hank is my favorite storm chaser and his photography is absolutely my favorite as well!
The two cars driving beside the tornado at @1:10 have some crazy conviction. im surprised they didnt get yeeted into the sky.
Those tiny power flashes really put the scale of this into perspective.. you’re the best in the world at presenting these storms.
Exactly what I thought, as I believe there was three instantaneously. I’ll have to go back and look.
I was wondering if those were power flashes, or static electricity generated by all the dust being blown around.
@@Ben_Kimber I mean, that could be.. I’m making assumptions and am certainly no expert lol
Tornadoes are so much bigger than I think many people comprehend.
@@andystewart4474 I'm also no expert. I have a basic to intermediate understanding of tornadoes, but I'm far from being qualified to engage in high-level discussions about them. Most of what I learned about tornadoes, I learned from this channel, and from a "Geography: Weather & Climate" course I took in university last year.
i’m really digging that text up in the top left corner. Feels like it gives better understanding of what’s happening. Keep it up Hank!
I agree. Larger text would be appreciated also.
at first i was like wth is this guy talking about, but now i see it and i agree
Just gotta say, you're the kind of guy that everyone loves to be around and appreciates. I showed my Dad your Tornados of 2018 video and he doesn't hate youtube so much anymore. Keep up the good work sir
Let’s take a moment to appreciate how hank puts his life on the line so we can see a tornado
And for helping further our knowledge on the tornadoes. Thank you Pecos Hank!
no
Elite footage. Horrifyingly beautiful. Quick tip for everyone: if you ever see a tornado that DOES NOT seem to be moving, this indicates that it’s moving TOWARDS you. This can be demonstrated here.
great advice!
Or away!
@@tokufire8989 Don't count on that. Better to be safe and get out of its path. Nature does some freaky shit.
@@tokufire8989 possible, but as mentioned above, don’t bank on it. I’d get out of its way
Hnnnghh
I like how this particular twister made everything naturally "sepia-toned", just like the beginning of a certain movie that features one of the most famous "cyclones" ever put to film!
nah, it's because the Tornado carried him out to Mexico xD

Yeah that's excactly what I was thinking It almost looks surreal

"This is what I hate about getting too close."
*continues to get too close to almost every tornado*
We love you PH 🤣
Pecos Hank, you definitely have my respect. Something like this is beyond dangerous and difficult.
Pecos, you really got these down! Every time there’s a major storm, I feel like I can expect you to have seen it.
I was like I bet he's recording this one when I saw it live as it happened seeing it form on TexasStormChasers channel.. looks like he sure did lol
@@Isaac-wf7sf does he only chase in the Texas/Oklahoma area?
@@barbaroacosta5335 Nope I believe he also chases in the dixie alley area some. Not certain on this one but pretty sure.
True
@@barbaroacosta5335 He chases as far as Nebraska and Eastern Colorado to Texas and sometimes goes up north or a little west from what I've seen, though those places seem to be his main area!
Edit: and my comment was hijacked by a religious debate....
Honestly this is the first thing that really made me feel the SCALE of a tornado like that. You were driving forever to get past that thing it must have been massive!
lol yeah, like at first I was like "okay, it's a bit spooky to have to drive past it but if he guns it he'll be past it in no time." Especially early on when he said he was shaking I was like "yeah you're pretty damn close but you're also a seasoned storm chaser so what's the issue?" Boy was I wrong about that lol. The further we got into the video the more I realized why it was so scary.
@@user-p7up8l4k What is his stance on tornadoes? Does he like them?
@@user-p7up8l4k Science is more believable than the fairytales you're writing here. Go back to school buddy and learn what actually causes weather like this. 👍
@@hinachan70 for real
@@statelypenguin of course, however through is love for this weather he has helped provide a ton of very relevant research that is helping to formulate the predicability of tornadoes and how to mitigate damage.
His music + persona is a major factor in his CZcams fame (his instrumental music is amazing), however his input into meteorological science is incredibly worthwhile and I personally hope he continues!
Congrats on 1 million man! Never stop doing what you do, you have inspired so many.
This footage is insane, I hope there’s more you can post from this. Appreciate your artistry and expertise as always, Hank!
I don't think I have ever seen a bad or dull upload from you Hank. Seriously love your work
I love how nature can be so extreme yet beautiful and amazingly terrifying at the same time... Despite the chances you take everytime you go out there, you always bring back some of the most incredible videos.. well done and thank you for these. Take care and be careful on your adventures.
Imagine being so good and knowledgeable at so many things. Love this guy!
Sitting here reading about tornadoes after midnight and, what do you know: a wild pecos hank tornado video appears! Almost as if he knew 😂
That's right I'm doing the same thing Joe I'm just looking at CZcams then BAM!! Pecos hank posts and I IMMEDIATELY have to watch it right away
same here! perfect timing eh
He knew!
The howl the wind had me shaking and I’m not even there. It brought me flashbacks to my childhood when I got by a tornado as a kid. Awesome video Hank!
@Don't Read My Profile Photo bro don’t comment this on a comment like this.
@@tifluvsu80 freaking bots man
@@TripedalTroductions i remember when those kinds of accounts would lead to something actually rewarding… sigh bots are so annoying
I would love to go out chasing with you one day.
That'd be the dream
Wewd you really though? 😋
I would also love to
Build him an absolute tank for chasing and he might consider
You might 💩 your pants tho, so bring an extra pair😅🤣😉
Happy 1 million hank! I've been watching your videos for 6 years, you've really inspired me alot and helped me through some rough moments. Thank you Hank!
I don’t need this level of anxiety in my life, Hank!
Watch it while your locale is cleaning up from a tornado and derecho event, with more storms on the way >.> at 1am. I didn't need sleep tonight XD
@@NixyRumancek stay safe!
Beautiful imagery. I love how you combine great footage, with a calming, "endless summer" style narration. Adding your music in intensifies it all the more.
Hang loose Steve!
@@PecosHank I especially love the scary pounding drums music.
That was crazy!! Also seeing you so close to 1 million makes my eyes water. I think I’ve been here since 500k- not too sure. You ignited my love of storms when I used to fear them. Keep chasing, stay gold!
Same!
HE FINALLY HIT 1 MILL
I've been here since 200 - 300k
Hank, this is some absolutely incredible footage, even for you. Love your calm persona and commentary, it actually adds to the drama by letting nature do the talking.
Those last few shots where you finally cross over to the backside of the storm, the RFD starts to clear up, and the sun starts to hit the tornado…
Perfection.
Always, the most incredible, high quality tornado imagery on the planet! Thank you Hank for all that you do.
I woodmt say "THE" most. But pretty good
@@gxlorp you've not watched too many of his videos then! Show me better footage then?
Hey, I really like the video where you give your mom credit for taking such good care of you and your sister. I'm a single mom & I really appreciate that you did that. I worked and attended college for graphic design; my son was 4 when I graduated. I'm now retired & he's a bass player/music producer; I think things turned out okay. We had a decent place to live, ate well & danced to the Beatles a lot.
Amazing like usual, Hank. I’d watch a hundred of your short, visually enthralling videos over any other CZcamsr’s long form “storm chases” any day, any time.
Beutiful footage! There’s something about these dusty whirlwinds that I can’t get enough of. You’ve done it again, Hank!
There are evil spirits in them, with their evil energyes , that are destructable. Nothing more in them . Pwy.
@@kopronko It's nature. It is neither evil or good. It just is.
@@xXJMatherXx don't be daft.
@@kopronko I’ve heard this but nobody has ever explained, how would one know?
@@xXJMatherXx If you don't know about the something's evilness , it doesn't mean, that because of your blind uneducation it does not exist.
I've had a weird anxiety with tornados for a long time.. I stumbled upon your channel a month ago and now i am fascinated. I've learned so much because of you. Looking forward to every upload! Thank you!
Some of my most scariest dreams were tornadoes i couldnt get away from.. but im in awe of there height and beauty. One of my hobbies is to chase tornadoes if i had time and extra money. The excitement it brings is indescribable.
What's "werid" about it? Does your anxiety enjoy "butt stuff"?
Or maybe your anxiety is nonbinary gender queef.
@@mohamedAli-kj6fb same. I have this reoccurring nightmare in which there's a tornado in my backyard but I can't get the basement door closed. They are freaky but awesome.
I got incredibly close, just as cloase as he gets in this video (literally chased) by an F3-F4 last month and I'm now equally fascinated
Yes!!!!!! Another Pecos Hank video! I've lost count how many times I've gone back and watched his older videos.
I don’t think I can ever sit out one of these while recording it so close. You’re pretty brave to capture all this, stay safe and God bless!
Mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time! Stay safe, Hank! Kinda got a weird sinking feeling about this year’s storm season.. I’m in Southern Ontario Canada and we experienced a Derecho on Saturday; so far one EF2 tornado was confirmed in the town of Uxbridge and Ottawa had a downburst with EF2-rated winds of 195 kph/122mph. Reports are still coming in and assessments are being done to see if there were more tornadoes imbedded in the system.
I live in Southern Ontario too, just a little away from the Detroit border. I heard they got one, didn't know we were under the gun. Supposedly we're about to get hammered in my area with the second big storm in a row.
Same! So far just the one tornado in Uxbridge; Ottawa was hit by the derecho, just like the rest of SW Ontario. I got lucky and was 4km away from where it hit in my city - literally one of those "it rained on one side of the street but not the other" scenarios. I knew what it was on radar and was chasing when it came through. For sure thought everything would be wrecked by time I got home. Other chasers sending me their footage was pretty grim. Those transformer towers near Ottawa that got crumpled were eerily reminiscent of Great Plains tornado footage I've seen, definitely surprised only one tornado came from that storm.
@@NixyRumancek my brother and his wife and kids live in Ottawa and I couldn’t believe the pictures I was seeing! I saw footage of something that looked like a tornado someone filmed from their apartment building in Ottawa, but maybe it was a funnel cloud that didn’t touch down.
My town was South of the storm. We got blasted with wind and rain for maybe 10 minutes, but nothing NEAR as bad as other cities had it.. am I right in understanding that Derechos are a fairly rare phenomenon in Canada?
@@MusizKanuck I've not seen any videos from Ottawa but I'm still trying to catch up on my Twitter feed from that day - sounds terrifying! NTP concluded their evals for Ottawa and said it was a downburst with winds reaching 190km/h. They're finishing up their analysis in Ottawa. They still have ground/drone surveys in Rawdon, QC and London, ON. I'm surprised only one tornado came from this. I saw several scuds (false funnels) that day, and the damage certainly looked tornadic in nature. Lucky you weren't in the thick of it.
They're definitely rare in Canada.
Canada's last string of significant derechos would've been in the late 1990s - I remember one from 1999. NOAA survey on it says the storm did a number through Thunder Bay and northern Ontario before heading into Quebec.
London Ontario here! Tons of damage here, downed 60+ year old massive trees, several of which landed on houses. Damage looked possibly indicative of a tornado in an area of the city I toured. Waiting to hear professional confirmation though.
You’re so close to a million subscribers Hank! Truly 100% deserved. Your videos are top quality and you present yourself, your surroundings and, of course, the tornadoes extremely well. Had it been anyone else getting close to that tornado I’d have freaked out, I still was uneasy of YOU advancing xD. Great film as always dude, thanks so much for this!
You have such an amazing way of capturing these tornadoes that seem completely otherworldly. The main one the video focus was on looked like it was from some alien planet. Completely devastating yet beautifully ethereal and serene. I can’t wait to see more!
WOW AMAZING I literally just watched you drive almost a full circle around a big almost stationary tornado and then…… ANOTHER ONE is behind you that’s NUTS. I can’t wait for the rest of the footage from that day. Thanks for what you do!
Wow…something about this one had me just shaking my head, thinking: “Oh man, this one looks nasty.” I don’t know why, but it seemed creepier than your others. Hank, when you were pushing through the RFD, and had the camera pointed at the 1st tornado, to the left of it, was that the ‘ghost train’ hugging the ground??
timestanp?
@@Jacksonn985 I'm guessing they're meaning the area right above the ground at 3:20 to the left of the tornado itself. Looks to be feeding right into the beast
@@Jacksonn985 Try 3:16 or so. I think it's hard to tell just because it's so dusty.
Are u sure the commentary isn’t influencing you
@@picklep9812 it is also a giant ass nado within a 20 mile proximity yeEEE
I have been binge watching all your videos again this week. Truly some of the best tornado footage and information on CZcams. Thanks for all your hard work and risking your life to keep us safe and entertained. Stay safe!
Isn't he great? He hits the trifecta of getting excellent footage, providing educational content, and staying calm under pressure. (There's another storm chaser whose videos I can't watch because he's always yelling at other members of his team.)
HAPPY 1 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS PECOS HANK!!!!!!
Every year when it hits tornado season I check this page weekly for videos. Knowing they are going to be top notch, with beautiful video, music, and also entertaining and informational. Keep it coming Hank!
I love hearing your thought process out loud in such close proximity to a big tornado. Amazing footage yet again Hank!
There’s that moment just after 2:45 where you get his decision making process. “It’s going to be strong. Do we do it [attempt to drive past]? No, we’re not going to do it. We’re not going to do it . . . [slight pause] . . . We’re going to do it.”
He’s not deciding to take a risk. He’s deciding which risk to take. Go forward, go back, or stay in place. With the secondary tornado forming behind him, going forward was probably the best decision.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Stresses me out watching, because even though I know he's ok, it's like geez...any option has risk here. Amazing footage, I could never be this close to a tornado myself.
your videos always go by so dang fast! I feel like i could watch them forever. In a selfish way i hope you never stop making tornado content but i know that this stuff can be extremely dangerous. Stay safe and thank you for all of the content.
There's a lot more video from this event. When I have time I'll do the entire story for ya. Cheers Derek!
Omg! You're almost at 1M, Hank! Super proud to see it.
Wow! I’ll be waiting excitedly for the longer version with full commentary and explanations!
That reminded me a bit of El Reno. I know they're very different storms, but the imminent mortal danger seemed just as intense. Having years of experience, understanding the architecture of storms, and knowing your escape routes are no small things. I appreciate the effort and risk you put yourself in to capture these amazing forces of nature.
tornados never fail to scare me even through a screen or photograph, and knowing that there’s people like you who would even dare to get this close is oddly inspiring as being afraid of death does nothing but control your limits. amazing as always :)
Yeah same there was a tornado when I was- 4 it shook me out my skull but yet I watch videos of it 😭
Thank you for what you do hank. Your videos are awesome, my son watches your playlists when he goes to bed, he has learned so much about tornadoes.
Stay safe out there!
Congradulations on the 1 Million subs Hank!
Horrifying, but alluring and fascinating as always - I appreciate how you give your thoughts and breakdown the situation in real time without shouting and screaming like a madman; you speak, but you still let the storm speak for itself.
that's how you know he's made for this job!! the ability to stay completely calm in this is.. definitely a skill i dont have LOL
Stay safe! Don't put yourself in too much danger getting these amazing videos. Great channel
Pecos your almost at 1 Million subscribers keep up the good work I been watching you for years!
Hank, been watching your tornado videos for years and you're still the best, brother. Stay safe.
*Stay safe out there Hank!* Always on the edge of my seat with your videos man, this is breathtakingly intense.
Basically a scene straight out of Twister, but the fact its real what makes it more scary and beautiful at the same time is what's captivating and unique. Stay safe Hank!
I wasn't certain you were on this lovely storm. I am very happy you were. Thanks for sharing these awesome images with us Hank! You're the best chaser around for sure!
I think it was the most stressful video to watch, just how big that monster is, and how closer you were getting to it, I was petrified without even being there, I got through a serious storm last week in Quebec, where tornado warning screamed. It was thrilling to see you getting closer to it, just be careful to not get caught, I love your channel since a very long time and learn many things through the years from you, and those documentaries of yours, I missed them, they were very interesting and pleasant to watch. Don't stop the good work!
I’m glad you stayed safe Hank! I hope to one day see a tornado in person, one just in the fields of course.
That second tornado shows exactly why it’s always a good idea to keep checking behind you. Some chasing teams have someone designated to that task.
Super video. Another typically outstanding record of your effort to bring your viewers the best that they could possibly want.
Thanks for continuing to bring a smile to a ole man's face.
Happy 1 mil, Hank!
It's amazing how many photogenic tornadoes that have already happened this year. Wishing you the best on this season!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I was thinking same thing. best year ever for tornados it seems.
I've seen a handful of different chaser videos since the footage debuted a day or so from today, and this thing was an ABSOLUTE MONSTER and a BEAUTY... And a BLESSING something this powerful happened over what looks to rural lands. The near sundown lighting, and the way the wallcloud was wrapped tightly to the monstrous rotation of this wedge.. What a once in a lifetime intercept for those who caught this one.... And I was waiting for your footage Hank!
YOOOOO hank congrats on 1m my guy :D. you deserve it for all the dangerous stuff you do.
I think I have watched all the videos on your channel 100 times now and it never gets old. All of the content and everything is amazing and as many have said before me your commentary on your videos are so dang good and even calming. Let me finish by saying thanks for always making my day better with your amazing content and of course never stop chasing Hank.
Your videos make me feel like I’m there chasing these monsters, I’m totally on edge, sweating, combined with a whole lot of anxiety! I LOVE IT! (From the safety of my home of course)
Anyone else feel that way?
Keep doing what you’re doing & stay safe!
Oh my god. This footage is incredible!
It's amazing how different a tornado looks and seems based on where you are looking at it from
Congratulations for reaching 1 million subscribers, Hank!
CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING 1 MILLION SUBS FRIEND, WE LOVE YOUR CONTENT
Sometthing Pecos has probably said in his lifetime:
"Saying "No" to something stupid is just not what I do. It is not entertaining enough."
I was literally JUST rewatching some of your older videos and wondering when you would upload next! Absolutely stunning footage as usual, thank you for all the time and work you put into your videos for us and I hope your tornado season is a good one! Stay safe :)
The a amount of experience and focus exhibited in this video was astonishing. Stay safe Hank, awesome footage.
This is probably the best audio I’ve heard of a tornado. Incredible work, dude.
The thrill of chasing isn't as strong as the thrill of living. My heart was beating too fast. We appreciate the videos, but appreciate your life the most.
Hank! Incredible footage!! Especially the sound of it. I love the: should I go? Nope... Oh alright I'm going! 🤣 Thank you for sharing and staying alive! ❤️😊
A little wizard of oz in that tornado. Beautiful work as always hank. Your videos give me so much inspiration, and affirmation of life. Much love brother
Hank grew my fascination for tornadoes. Like, they’re scary, but they FASCINATE ME so much!!!!
We don’t want to do that. Yup we’re gonna do it. 😂 Not used to seeing you that close but what a hell of a ride. Stay safe out there and thank you truly for sharing. That was amazing and beautiful footage. Really put things in perspective. Always makes my day being able to see your work.
That's one mean tornado. Thank you, Hank, for getting footage of this tornado so we can see it on our phones without risking our lives out there.
Terrifying was definitely the correct word to describe this tornado. I've been following you for the past few years, and seen your expertise at work in your videos. This video was scary and felt too close. Please be careful!
You're the best Hank. Stay safe and thank you for all the A1 content!
Duuuuuuuuude! Please dont die D:
Follow your instincts, you hesitated for 1 second before crossing the storm, that was your body filled with experience saying "RUN"
Thanks to you now we have an unique footage from a tomatoe... there will be always another chance for a great shot, but there will be only one Hank, your life is unique, take care man!
Me: what is this tornado?
Subtitles: 1:55
new subscriber, i absolutely love your videos, it really makes it feel like i’m watching it there, can’t wait to see you hit 1 mil!
Man this was intense! Stay safe brother and as always- appreciate these high quality videos of some of mother nature’s most beautiful and terrifying work
I’ve always loved the beauty of storms when they aren’t so destructive, though I find it all fascinating. I love you content, Hank! It’s like living out the alternate universe version of myself where my health was better and I became a storm chaser, haha! I have always recorded lightning storms, I have hundreds of thunder recordings dating back decades.
I once was on a rooftop as a teen, and I experienced something similar to anvil crawler lightning in NC, but it was an otherwise distant storm. The lightning also had nearly a thousand branches and covered the entire sky above me like a dome, and it moved almost in slow motion. It looked like hands forming hands forming hands. A second or two after the jaw dropping spectacle, the thunder followed in a slow, surrounding path like nothing I’ve ever heard and seen since. If you see this... was that an anvil crawler of rare and extraordinary proportions, or was that something else?
As long as you’re making content, I’ll be watching, my friend. 🤠⚡️⛈🌩
I've seen that too, back when I was a teen as well! We were looking out at the lake, and the lightning crawling throughout the sky was so awe inspiring that I still remember, 30 years later. Where the hell does the time go?!
@@danadoozer9990 same! On a lake way up near the top of Wisconsin. I’ll never forget it and I was maybe like 12 so… like 30 years ago as well :-)
I’m so happy to see new videos from my favorite storm chaser! Man that was a mixed bag of incredibly stunning scenery with just a touch of terror mixed in.
pecos hank is like. risking his life for us for a video, i appreciate his work and everything he does i love his videos so much, any tornado i can assume he’s like near it at any time
Incredible footage! It takes some serious guts to do what you do. I could never be as calm and calculated.
