WHAT IS A MESOCYCLONE?
The engine of the strongest and most dangerous thunderstorms and the bringer of the most intense tornadoes on Earth is the mesocyclone. When a thunderstorm develops in an atmosphere with strong changes of wind speed and/or direction with height, the updraft may twist and rotate as a vertical column becoming a mesocyclone. The effects of this mesocyclone on storm clouds can appear otherworldly with wind sculpted structures resembling flying saucers, alien crafts hovering below the storm base or invading motherships casting ominous shadows.
The presence of a mesocyclone can enable a thunderstorm to persist for hours as a supercell. Technically, "mesocyclone" is a term used for radar analysis defining storm-scale rotation in convective storms that meets specific magnitude, vertical depth and duration.
- Cyclonically rotating vortex in a convective storm
- 2-10 km in diameter
- Vorticity 10-2 S-1 or greater
When Doppler radar detects a mesocyclone exhibiting intensifying rotation, a tornado warning may be issued. Most mesocyclones don’t produce tornadoes. Sometimes they produce small brief tornadoes. Sometimes they summon enormous, long-lived monsters. Mesocyclones are often accompanied by frequent lightning activity that is especially evident at night. On May 25th, this year in New Mexico storm chasers gawked for hours as an almost stationary supercell delivered an out-of-this-world light show.

Still the best storm chaser on TH-cam. No overhyped build-up, no loud obnoxious behavior. You've still got it Hank!
Best storm chaser of all time. He’s PERFECT.
@@jacob775 He really is. Especially since even when he's not showing footage, which is always top notch, he explains from A-Z everything that's going on.
Is this video a good representation of his content? Because it's sure over-edited to me. Way too much music and dramatic pauses, it's like a history channel show.
@@dethmaulpretty sure that’s kudos to his solo editing but whatever you reckon
@@dethmaul he does all his own filming and editing, writes and performs all the music and his tornado footage is second to none. The history channel can only wish that he would make documentaries for them. I suppose you would rather watch that overreacting Reed Timmer jumping around, yelling and screaming like a fool, sorry but I would rather watch Hank all day long than have to put up with one Reed Timmer video.
I forgot how relaxing his content is
Just the best!
It's amazing
Yeah it's sort of ASMR(ish). LOL
Yeah, I needed that right now.
Asmr😂
@2:25, the closed caption shows 'a burrito warning may be issued.'. @2:35, 'Sometimes they produce small brief burritos.'
Just saw this as well XD
Small beef burritos?
@@jaggedjottings😂
Pecos Hank: Tornado warning.
TH-cam captions: Burrito warning. ...What? They both bring deadly wind, don't they?
"...Sometimes they produce small brief burritos..." I don't want to know what a brief burrito is.
Pecos Hank is not just a storm chaser, he's an artist.
That's why I always call him the Bob Ross of storm chasing, with his love of animals too.
@@dannygray-mi3xn That's a perfect description right there.
Pecos Hank is the Bob Ross of storm chasing.... an artist with a love of animals.
I agree
@@jouglexander"Now see what we did." So strangely ominous...
No one:
The subtitles: Sometimes they produce small brief burritos.
Not only is this man lectures us about weather events, he also makes music now. That's talent and dedication on another level.
Hank's been producing brilliant music for years. Check out his band the Southern Backtones. 🖤
I want this sound track soo bad
where can I find this banger music in this video?
Idk why, but I’d pay for an 1 hour video of just a complication of mesocyclones with thunder and quiet music playing in the background
Compilation* sorry
Same minus the music
I think a lot of people forget to show appreciation and praise to Hank for making his own background music. It really sets the mood, intense, calm, ethereal. He makes all this beautiful music that just flies by our minds while we watch the stunning footage he captures. I bet you never once question the music in the background and go "this music doesn't really fit in". You either notice the music because you want to, or it fits in so well its just brushes past your conscious. Very talented, very creative, and all around quality.. you just create amazing content in many forms Hank. 👍👍👍👍👍
All this amazing footage that took so long to gather, edited down to a four minute video. So grateful for your love of nature and your love of sharing what you find… I don’t think there’s a higher quality TH-cam channel out there. Your love for weather and tornadoes shines through these videos, and I’m glad to watch each and every one of them. Thanks, Hank
I was chasing on May 25th with the IL College Of DuPage Storm Chasers that night. It was one of the most intense thunderstorms i have even seen in my entire life as a kid growing up in IL and nothing was comparable to that night. We were near Grady New Mexico in the mountains or hills towards the south while there was rotation towards the north downhill with the most intense lightning I’ve seen in many many years. We sat out there 40 minutes to enjoy the light show while predicting if the rotation downhill would spawn a tornado. Within those 40 minutes nothing happened so we assumed that was the end of it so we headed back until 5 minutes later after driving downhill we spotted a big wedge tornado that was probably on the ground for a good couple minutes but it was very hard to see it. It was therefore my first tornado that I have ever seen in New Mexico. It was such a Beaty with 50mph - 70mph winds by us while it sounded like a freight train while the tornado was about 4-7 miles from us. We tried to call it in, but nobody answered (WHICH IS A PROBLEM) but luckily it was in the middle of nowhere and only lasted for several minutes that night. My estimate of the tornado was probably anywhere between an EF1 to an EF2 at most but it was really big and it almost looked like an EF3 instead but again it was in the middle of nowhere. I’ll never forget that night and that trip I was on with college of DuPage.
MOTHER NATURE is such a Beauty and this is why I want to become an Extreme Professional Storm Chaser like many others because it’s been my passion since I was 6.
Great video
How old are you now? I just spent 8 years reading your novel.
pecos hanks uploading is like christmas
it doesn’t come often
but everyone loves when it does
well done hank, your content is amazing
Holy cow. These storms are incredibly beautiful and terrifying. You are lucky to encounter so many over the years, Hank - I wish you the best and I hope you keep encountering more.
Just… just don’t die in one of them, though. That would be bad. Really bad.
I’m from Vietnam and adults here are sometimes uncomfortable when seeing a lightning because our parents often tell us when we’re young that if we ever talk back the lightning god will strike us ( i know it’s horrible way to discipline a kid ). Anyway, I’m no different than those adults. However I found beauty in them since I found your channel. Thank you for that ❤️❤️❤️.
May God Bless You Man.
This is one of the reasons I've always loved Pecos Hank's videos. Instead of just looking at a tornado, he often captures the whole swirling architecture of the supercell. We are able to see so much more - the tails of clouds steaming into the supercell, the sky turning icy green, and the myriad ghostly vortices that dance all around the outside of the tornado.
I had no idea that such things even existed.
Amazing music, again.
Don't mind waiting so long for Pecos Hank videos when this is the kind of artistry I'm rewarded with. Beautiful work, Hank! THANK you! 💗
These are probably the best recordings of Mesocyclones I have ever seen. Beautiful how you can see the dynamics in these storms. Great job!
I could watch hours of narrated mesocyclone timelapses without ever getting tired. Absolutely magnificent footage.
2:33 with captions on "Sometimes they produce small brief burritos." made me chuckle
I love his shots of thunderstorms,not just tornadoes. His narration,as always, is sublime!
Buddy is the David Attenborough of the tornado world
2:27 CC: "Most mesocyclones don't produce tornadoes. Sometimes they produce small brief burritos." lol
HAHA thats great xD
more like "beef burritos"...LMAO!
The incredible visuals and perfect writing/narration are what make Pecos Hank's work by far the best in the business.
Only Pecos Hank can showcase one of natures most menacing forces in such a calming and beautiful way...
Nice soundtrack, too!
LOL the closed captions at 2:33: "Sometimes they produce small brief burritos".
Now that's why storm chasers exist. All about them burritos all along.
Right before too: "When Doppler radar detects a mesocyclone exhibiting intensifying rotation, a burrito warning may be issued."
if only it heard "brief" as "beef" 😭
The narrator would be a very good voice actor for a horror movie---the ability to hold the long pauses, the quiet drama in his voice, and being able to describe things that would normally never be thought twice about, but he makes it seem ominous. Quite the ability 😄
The footage this dude captures is just so insane. It’s also informative! Keep up the awesome work!
Perfect example of how weather can be hauntingly beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Awesome photography!
2:33 "Sometimes they produce small brief burritos"
I had closed captions on and just lost my shit 😆
Otherwise this was really REALLY cool, thank you for explaining mesocyclones! Absolutely *beautiful* imagery and filmography
Just had to take a look with CC on, Haha Brilliant! 👏🏻😄🌪️
Cloudy with a chance of burritos.
2:32 closed captioning says "small brief burritos"
😂😂
This video definitely need a seizure warning. I already had one from how beautiful it is.
Amazing burrito footage as always
That is the most amazing photography I have EVER seen!
Absolutely mesmerizing! I love the music so much! Thank you, Hank. I hope you never ever go away.
only problem with Hanks videos is.. I wish there was more
Simply and consistently the best tornado content on TH-cam.
I’m just in awe of nature, and blown away by the skill and talent in capturing these images. Everything about this, from the timelapses to the music is just perfect.
I can't even begin to say how awesome this video is, the visuals, information, even your music is top tier! I'm always reluctant to watch a Pecos Hank upload because I know I'll want more after it's over hahah
I don't know what I loved more ... the beautiful music or the amazing images of the mesocyclones! Bravo!
Hank is one of the best weather and tornado photographers in my opinion. The weather this has been crazy as el neno ramps up. Good job hank!
My captions keep putting "burrito" instead of "tornadoe" so all i'm getting is:
"A burrito warning may be issued."
"Sometimes they produce small, brief burritos."
that happens with all the captions its hilarious
Y'all only have to worry if you have mesocyclone activity near a Taco Bell. 😂
Beautiful stuff as always.
the music is just spot on
It’s always a Great day when Hank Uploads !
This is absolutely amazing stuff! I just wanted to point out at around 2:23 the captions say "a burrito warning may be issued" instead of tornado and it made me chuckle haha
My wife caught it and she's laughing her ass off xD
Pecos Hank Humor. 🖤
There are a few thing in my old age I enjoy more than to see a video by you. About three weeks ago I drove across Texas twice and no weather until I got to Louisiana and Mississippi. Being from Arizona the rain I experienced in Louisiana would have been a hundred year down pour but it was nothing to the locals. But crossing into Texas on I-10 and seeing exit 886 floored me. Almost 900 miles to New Mexico. And I enjoyed every mile. In fact the West Texas Desert is exactly like the one I grew up in. I didn't know what to expect. But getting back to this video I believe it was your best one. You have many talents and I can't wait to see your next one. Be well Sir.
Mr. Pecos Hank,
I believe that to be your best 4:47
Your cinematography is on its own level and we all love how you educate and story tell.
Kudos and thank you
Be safe
Hank your sound design and musical stylings are incredible. The perfect match to your footage!
Glad you noticed Anthony. Experimented with the sm58 on this one.
This Timelapse footage is astoundingly good. Thank you for doing what you do hank. Spectacular!
Hank: "Tornado"
TH-cam captions: "Burrito"
Used to be tomato
Great video. Music score was outstanding too.
watching this as a thunderstorm rolls through my area Instead of just watching the actual storm.. goes to show how much i enjoy these videos
These little videos only give me a hankering for more tornado chasing and your brilliant music!
Cool music! That was a surprise you made it, I am impressed!!!
Pecos! You have to see in Italy, Yesterday. Hail 12cm and supercell like yours in usa ... Umbelivable...😢😢❤❤❤
wow, that's crazy o:
Yeah, terrifying. And all those fallen trees...
Never seen like this guys... We see frequently the hail, until maybe 5 or 6cm, but this time was big like an hand... 110 injuries, and Only lucky to hasn't deaths! But also.... What a beautiful dimostration of unlimitless Power by the nature!
Definitely need some photosensitivity warnings on this one.
My goodness these are spectacularly intense! Also, absolutely beautiful shots!
Nothing quite like an alien storm dropping some burritos.
2:24 the subtitles say "a burrito warning may be issued" 😂😂
You are an artist and your art form is your videos. The way you mix your videotography and sound just tells a story full of such emotion. It is awe-inspiring. Thank you for all that you do Hank!
You are truly a one-of-a-kind Storm Chaser.
Thank you for sharing your gifts of photography, music, storytelling and teaching to us! It's always a pleasure to see your vids! ✌
He has amazing gifts. really amazing ones. Glad you pointed them out, and I hope he reads some of these so he can see how appreciative many of us are of his myriad talents.
ah yes the Burrito warning
"Brief burritos" is fn good one too
This why hank deserves way more than 1 mil, he deserves 10 mil
I Concur!!!!
I remember being in Arkansas a few years ago and found myself inside a Huge supercell with deadly tornadoes touching down nearby. Its cool seeing your perspective on storms that are just unthinkably large.
Tbh watching tornado vids are mesmerizing.
Especially mesocyclones
the infamous burrito warning.
My favorite part of a tornado isn’t the funnel, or the wind, it’s the towering structure, especially when the entire thing is rotating. Most beautiful cloud structure, imo.
I'm really disappointed that this isn't getting a lot of views, this is absolutely incredible, more people need to see this.
Give it a minute ;)
There truly is no other content out there as beautifully crafted as yours Hank!
Absolutely mesmerizing, outstanding time lapse, it's really impressive.. bravo Pecos Hank..❤
Storm Chasing is also my life , this is truly a reason to be proud.
1:53 I haven't seen many supercells, but that's amazingly dark. Darker than I would have imagined. You NEVER fail to amaze me, Hank. Be careful out there.
I just love your creativity!! That haunting music is perfect. Beautiful video ❤
When you're a tornado nerd searching TH-cam for a new storm video to watch..and right at that time Hank uploads a new video 😊 perfect timing
Pause at 2:26 with closed captioning on for a "Burrito Warning". My favorite type of warning!
"When Doppler radar detects a mesocyclone exhibiting intensifying rotation,
a burrito warning may be issued."
Never gets old😆
Don't forget ""and small brief burritos.' :P
@@TheIndustryChatter 🤣
the way the music and the footage makes you feel is just something else
absolutely mesmerizing, Hank! your videos always take me to another world. thank you for sharing your expertise and artistic eye with us!
Well done, Pecos Hank. You are truly an artist!
2:24 Ah yes, a burrito warning. A crucial part of early warning systems worldwide. (Captions on)
Man, the quality of your videos are second to NONE. Footage is always jaw dropping!
I really appreciate the coloring that the clouds get during a storm like this, wonderful footage!
One of your best Hank! Even more amazing than usual.
You know it's a slow season when we finally get the meso video. Not complaining!
I've never seen better footage of mesocyclones in my life. I grew up in tornado ally and saw storms all the time, but this was on another level.
The word "incredible" has lost its true meaning - literally, not able to be believed.
And yet here it is: incredible footage, which is real.
Thank you, Mr. The Pecos!
Yay! Whenever I hear people say that word I think the same thing :)
The production value of this work is as impressive as the storm video it features!! Well done, sir!! 👍
You seriously get the most incredible storm footage. Love it
Absolutely knocked it out of the park with the music on this one!
As always Hank, you produced a very very very high quality video that mesmerizes. You don't get paid enough.
I couldnt imagine the reaction when early humans first saw a mesocyclone. They must have been scared, curious and dumbfounded.
I have to say Mr. Hank a couple years ago I wanted to be an astronaut but I saw your videos and was inspired by you. Thank you so much!
Me: "Hey Pecos Hank uploaded something!" - 'hits the Like Button and then presses play' Awesome!
You are literally making videos the quality of National Geografic documentaries, you deserve so much more attention. Insane, keep it up, much love from 🇩🇪
Whats about ww1
Absolutely gorgeous footage of these meso's. Please provide more, this stuff is gold.
Been around since the El' Reno EF3 of 2013. I saw that video when it was new, and since then, you've kept my curiosity of the weather going strong. Learning about you and other peoples' new findings and new information has kept me going strong and inspired me to keep learning. Y'all stay safe out there with your travels and work, and know that you're in a lot of our hearts. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for being a part of my life which burns today. Happy trails, y'all.
Not only the footage that could easily be presented by NatGeo or BBC, he even makes the music. Very well done, Pecos Hank. As always.
Hank once again showing off his god-tier narration skills. Another excellent video, and I swear the quality of your educational videos gets better every year.
No one does weather photography/videos as amazing and majestic as you Pecos Hank! This was awe inspiring! Love your music. Love your fabulous films and discussion/descriptions. So excited to see this one!
Yet again another world class video
