    watching this in 2023. by the end of this year these clips will be 10 years old
    when he was filming these i was 6 turning 7 at the start of the summer (June 12). It’s crazy that these events happened when i was that young and also how much i’ve changed since then. and the fact that he’s been doing this for longer than this. it’s insane.
    i was just ending kindergarten and going into 1st grade, still a naive little kid. I won’t get into it much but in the years since i’ve gone through a lot and it’s changed so much since i was young. i wish i could go back but i try not to hold on to that since it’s obviously impossible. i’ll be 17 this year. my life is just flashing right past me.
    thanks for these. you’ve been doing this for a long time and have only been getting better. it’s crazy what you’ve been doing for more than 10 years and also congrats on 1 million!! :)

The editing, narrative, soundtrack and script are thoughtfully and intelligently constructed and integrated. Perhaps most significant is the success with which you create an emotional 'pull' that consistently impacts viewers and builds upon itself as the upload progresses, leaving us feeling renewed and subtly altered in a positive manner at the upload's conclusion. Your work generates and radiates much-needed agape in today's perplexing, difficult and sometimes frightening world, and you remind us that beauty can de discovered and appreciated in every moment, even among the tribulation life brings.

    I used to think I was all caught up on Pecos Hank vids. I have been subscribed for years, and thought I had watched them all, even going thru his playlist. But I am suddenly finding vids from years ago I've never seen. I've watched numerous vids the last few days, for the first time. How did that happen? I do know for the last three or four years, I haven't gotten his vids in my recommendations anymore, until recently. His content doesn't seem to be the type that would be censored by algorithms. Even still, that doesn't explain how I see vids from seven or eight years ago I've never seen, when I know I went thru his playlist and watched everything. At any rate, it's good to see Pecos Hank vids again.

    Hi Pecos Hank,
    First of all I want to compliment you for the most beautiful and impressive tornado videos I've seen so far. It really has an artistic touch.
    I live in Germany and I have also plans to chase and document some storms here, since I found out that tornadoes in Germany are also a common thing. Before I start to bombard you with questions like "how to chase?", "how to read the clouds or weather data?", or stupid questions like "is it really that dangerous?" and so on :) (I will educate myself here, I'm not that foolish), I decided to ask you just which camera equipment do you use (photo camera, video camera)!?.. and.. do you edit the footage with a special software program? I really love the color in your videos!
    Any other recommandations?
    However, keep up your great work .. I'm looking forward to see some great storms in 2014!
    Igor

When he got truly huge, we found out that he was actually a desert tortoise and that we weren't allowed to have those so we gave him to the museum. Sadly, he contracted a contagious disease from the other tortoises and died. :,-( Rest in power, Tortie! And here we were concerned that the dog had been picking him up and taking him with her in her mouth.
