wheresmyhouse ... I agree, his low- key way of commenting actually intensifies the dramatic feeling, bringing a touch of intense scary thrill, an unbearable kick of tension
When Its late and I am still watching something in my phone I play some of Hank's videos. I do that so I can fall asleep. His videos are so calm that they make me sleep at night no matter what. I love this channel.
Sometimes I’ll listen to them when I’m trying to sleep because it makes me feel less lonely and have something positive to feel asleep too. He’s just really calming.
I still gave you a thumbs up. Even though it’s almost like listening to the golf. At the same time there is so much in general loud and irritating people at work or when you come home or even when you’re just out at the supermarket as I struggle to contain myself when moms have their kids and they’re all screaming or asking for what they want and the mom is doing her best but of course with a raised voice and I’m just thinking how the hell can I get out of here fast enough!
@@mikepattberg25 I really do enjoy storms because I love everything that goes on in the sky, it’s a little bit of a obsession however I never would want anybody to be damaged by any storm because the aftermath really does break my heart.
I have a huge fear of bad storms and tornados. I can keep calm enough to make sure I’m safe, even when driving. But serious anxiety gets even when the wind picks up too strong. Your videos seriously help! From being more knowledgeable on tornados and getting to observe them calmly it just helps in so many ways. The way you capture them is beautiful. Thank you!
I read something off a book once it was either norse mythology or greek. It was a being that created all storms (Caused Them) I think it WAS a cave that had rocks covering 1 entrance would probably block some storm..
As someone from a very tornado prone area (love Oklahoma, am I right?) tornadoes have always been a terrifying but fascinating thing. Most storm chasers are really annoying, but I love watching you because you're able to give the storm life and a personality. You and your videos are truly wonderful!
Because most storm chaser’s don’t have the experience like Hank does and the patients. Most chasers I have seen want to be the first there and don’t care about anyone else’s safety. I have seen too many accidents because of selfish untrained chasers.
This was like that moment when the most beautiful person you ever seen walks in the room and you are just stun locked at their beauty. This tornado was just incredible and your footage was amazing, what a treat!!! Fantastic work Hank
Hats off to you guys. This is not for the faint hearted and I’m certain that the videos and data collected will help scientists in decreasing the deaths and destruction that these admittedly beautiful monsters cause. Much respect from the West Indies.
This is the most beautiful and simultaneously the most terrifying tornado 🌪️ footage I have ever seen. You were literally RIGHT UNDER it!!! And that haunting, wailing, howling wind sound was chilling
Oh my god Hank, when you said you saw some of the most gorgeous tornadoes this season, you weren't kidding. I'm honestly in awe by this for it seems so unreal yet it is very real.
I'm from New England..., have seen a lot of severe weather but nothing compares to the sight of this spectacle of nature. Because you don't yell, scream, comment, etc..., just film it as it happens...,(I haven't understood before why people chase these dangerous storms)..., but this video captured the sounds of high velocity wind, the sheer eerieness of something so powerful & dangerous..., spellbinding!
Aloha Hank! I found out who you were from an interview you were on about tornadoes for a t.v. show on the weather channel today. From .56-58, a giant, menacing demon-like face is forming in the tornado, looking straight down to earth, it has thick lips, a flat nose, and a single horn on its head, at .58, it opens its mouth in a giant yell, closes its eye at .59, and disappears into the swirl....great, awe inspiring footage!!
Have always been fascinated by tornadoes since I was a kid. Unfortunately living as north east as you can get in the states, I’ll probably never see one in person, luckily I have your videos and TH-cam.
Everything about that tornado was elegant. Sound, form, and speed. Even the way it roped out, like an enormous creature retreating into the earth.... absolutely incredible.
I have watched this video many times as I have all of yours. I finally got the meaning of “Susan go get my pants”. I just ran into that video a few days ago and have been going through every video of yours just to find where you say it. You are truly amazing, talented, intelligent. And so many more adjectives that it would take a long time to type. All good I promise. It is a true honor to watch you and your life and all arts over the years. What an amazing gift to be able to experience it all. Be happy. Keep safe. Thank you for sharing. Happy trails.
We had a bad F3 tornado years ago that came off Lake Huron and decimated a lakeside town. Pretty frightening and powerful scenes here. This guy sure has a lot of courage and must know what he's doing.
. I am a fan of kinetic sculpture, but boy, that is so far more beautiful and graceful and elegant in its potency. What's more, it is haunting, something the man made stuff seldom achieves.
This is some of the best, up close videos ever! You guys are crazy! Incredible! Brave men you are! Nice job!!! When they are up close, just their presence in that air flow, can cause that funnel to react, in any way imaginable!!! Big balls!
I respectfully admire you for many things Sir, but being able to capture all of this solo, and still being able to go home to your beautiful wife deserves some recognition! 👏👏👏
It would be a boring video Isreal. An i6 with radarscope and what not, a GPS, a weather radio (that I always forget to turn on). A bucket of cameras and paper maps and a box of cereal. Voila!
Pecos Hank is da shiznit. I'm sure there's a heck of a lot of respect for the guy in the storm chasing community, but also a heck of a lot of jealousy. Thing is, he's so damned humble, down to earth and kind to animals, and ultra talented with the camera and his narration in any given situation. His instinct when it comes to storm chasing is beyond my comprehension. Keep up the amazing work, and thank you, Hank. Cheers!
Have done the Fire Department for 4 years. I’d love to either be your driver, extra camera man, or the person that’s able to give medical aid immediately to people. What you do is amazing. Hands down the best channel I’ve came across; on TH-cam. Though you are great, my favorite snake is the King Snake. Comes in many colors but yet rules it’s domain. So bite it lol. Anyways, think about it. Stay safe and happy trials.
As a small aircraft pilot, this is one of my biggest fears - accidentally flying into it at night while in the clouds. That's why I thoroughly review the weather forecast along my route before I jump into the cockpit.
@@NeonFireFly-uu2tj yup, they laugh at people dying or getting hurt, but then they cry and throw a screaming tanturm if you don't call them by their "preferred pronouns" or otherwise "trigger" them. I f***ing hate Millennials. They're the weirdest, most creepy and anti-social population to ever walk the planet.
I love your videos.....it feels like I am in the car with you, although I would be asking many questions. I have always wanted to see a tornado, but I wouldn’t want anyone hurt or houses and buildings destroyed. Stay safe in your excursions. 😄🌪
Pecos Hank love your videos of birth and death of tornadoes you are a wonderful person and so helpful to people who were injured in a tornado 🌪️ keep up the outstanding work we appreciate y'all
Brilliant shot at 4:49. Having seen your great videos with Dr Leigh Orf, I assume that what we're seeing here is the tornado weakening and splitting into two regions of coalescing subvortices, as whatever conditions cause vorticity to 'select' a single point temporarily dissipate. It looks like they merge later in the shot, but then it cuts away! Really fascinating footage
05:15 That’s two tornados, one within the other-Matryoshka vortexes/tornados. The outer, upper, wedge/wide-shaped vortex is a condensation (conden) driven tornado. It is driven by the release of latent heat by water vapor condensing on condensation nuclei (CCN). Condens have their “engines” in the lower and warmer part of their storm/mesocyclone (meso). If not enough CCN is available for the conden to condense all available water vapor, excess water vapor passes up to the upper and colder part of the meso. There it may form a deposition (depo) driven tube or stovepipe-shaped tornado. A depo tornado’s “engine” is fueled by the latent heat released by the direct transition of supercooled water vapor to ice. The oscillating lower, inner, tornado seen here is a depo tornado. From 06:10 to 06:30 It appears that the lower depo tornado’s “engine” is growing stronger. The upper conden is about the same, maybe even shrunk some. Very cool. By 06:55 the lower depo dominates. Watch as the upper conden shrinks. The CCN has just about run out-for now-so much less condensation takes places lower down leaving more water vapor for the depo tornado’s “engine.”
Can we just talk abt the howl of this thing for a second? Holy cow that thing was ghostly. And look how big it actually was from the dust cloud. Holy that thing was huge, and didn't look like it was weakening
I have a great idea for you. Buy a long range microphone and mount it on a tripod and capture the sound of a tornado. Some of these are called "Shotgun Microphones". Others are mounted in the center of a parabolic reflector. You might have to make a type of umbrella to shield it from rain and you would need to glue some sound absorbing material to the underside of it.
5:10 Tornado: Well guys, I'm gonna split, it's been real. Hank: I'm going to grab some stills Tornado: Well, I guess I can hang out a few minutes longer
I've not seen any other chaser consistently make videos that are presented in such a calm, informative manner. Instead of the usual chaotic, loud, panicked screams accompanied by the wobbly shots. Even when it's a murky, rain wrapped blob of a tornado, all Hanks shots are still and clear. He's a legend. O and im sure there are other chasers with quality footage, but I've not seen it. Yet! Hope you're good.
Ambient sound of the Tornado at ~ 6:00 is awesome and unnerving. There is a visceral reaction to the menace it adds to the images. Sound is the missing element in most tornado videos, because of talking, recording from the interior of a car or-get this-music. Well done, Pecos Hank.
There is background music in most of his videos, a lot of it if not all, he does himself. Still no word on whether he can play Classical Gas though, lolz
YES! And it's eerily reminiscent of the tornado sound from "The Wizard of Oz"--in retrospect I'm impressed all over again with that scene, which still actually spooks me quite a lot. Another video where you can really hear the tornado is one of the videos from the Tuscaloosa tornado of 2011--the one recorded by two dudes who were just hanging out when the tornado came and tore the roof off their house, with them barely getting down to the basement in time. Amazing, menacing sounds in that one, recommended.
Your footage is a step above almost all storm chasers I see. Your demeanor is that of awe and reverence. You don’t yell, cheer, or joke. You treat nature with the respect she deserves and demands. And holy hell what absolutely stunning footage. Clear, focused, and smooth. Absolutely earned a sub. You inspire me to do this one day and be able to share the majesty and horror of nature.
Dude, you have the MOST exquisitely detailed tornado footage I've ever seen online. So absolutely breathtakingly beautiful that when I watch, I almost forget for a few seconds how deadly these mesmerizing, dancing monsters can be. You are a true artist and a very brave one, at that.
Your videos actually help me out so much with my depression and anxiety. Whenever I feel like I'm in a downward spiral, I come here, and my mental health stabilises.
hell yeah. that's exactly what I'm usually here for too! it really helps me calm down and focus on the awe of nature rather than get too hung up in other things
Right there with you, mm. I find it therapeutic to feel humbled... to be reminded that there are things I am powerless to control, and the best way to handle them isn't by freaking out, but rather backing away and observing them with calm curiosity, looking for a lesson to learn. And then Hank's humor comes in adding just the right amount of levity. :-)
I was having no complex issues before watching this video, a bit stressed but nothing uncommon. After viewing this video I feel warm and content. I came to see if anybody else felt the same. It’s wonderful not being alone so to speak.
I've watched dozens and dozens of tornado videos through the years... this video is the most incredible footage I've ever seen... not sure how you can even move with balls the size of watermelons.
Hank is quite safe when it comes to storm spotting. He keeps a safe distance for wide angle shots and he stays alert. He also knows what he’s doing. There is always some danger though.
The wind speeds and debris. At 200-300mph, it picks up pavement, vaporizes wood home structures, and pretty much destroys anything it comes in contact with.
Ahmed saeed that’s actually very possible if you’re in the path without shelter. There are videos of tornados picking up semi trailers and train cars and lifting them into the sky. So a human would be nothing.
"GET IN THE CAR NOW! WE HAVE TO MOVE NOW!" Even though it was his dumb ass who kept them waiting too long trying to get a good shot while debris flies all around his team almost killing them. Yup, that's Reed. Too much yelling for me.
I admire the fact that you are able to express your fascination without the typical yelling and screaming of many other storm chasers.
So true.
Yes, he's awesome!
Bet he doesn't wear flip flops and shorts either.
They scream and yell to create a fake level of intensity.
wheresmyhouse ... I agree, his low- key way of commenting actually intensifies the dramatic feeling, bringing a touch of intense scary thrill, an unbearable kick of tension

I can TOTALLY see how ancient cultures considered these things god.
heck EVEN TODAY people refer to tornadoes as "the power of god"
As person with Lilapsophobia I can clearly see how these things where thought to be god-like.
Are you the real Pikapetey?
Please keep your beliefs to yourself.

"Susan, go get my pants" - quote from the Columbus Nebraska tornado video if I'm correct.
And he sounds just like a cartoon charicter from the Simpsons with his tone in wich he said it.

Yeah, I got that immediately. That was an amazing video as well.
Yes! I laughed out loud at that reference.
Jason Tempest, That was scary.
Absolutely awesome being able to hear the wind! ❤ I can't remember ever hearing it in any of the dozens of tornado videos I've watched. INCREDIBLE!
Agree🥰🥰🥰

Made me laugh. When you know, you know.
Great video, as always.
y'all people tryna get like 15 feet from it smhh you guys are kissing death on the lips
jayson minefield they're like 15 miles away
One Punch Man they're tornado chasers they know what to do...

So close to death and yet so alive.
No they're licking death on the neck
Love your videos AND your love and appreciation of the little creatures(anoles, etc.)🥰
The people who dislike don't have a soul.
The dislikes must be from the people who hide in the basement.
Why are there so many!?!?

Its good footage but ARE YOU CRAZY maybe the camera was just zoomed in but you were practically underneath it
I never thought of a tornado as being a pretty sight but that one sure fits that my opinion. Pretty good photographic art.

That first tornado looked almost fake. So gorgeous. It's amazing what mother nature can cook up.
You're so lucky to see one like this in real life.
You know I think filming vertically may have been totally fine here, you can zoom in more and still capture the entire tornado
The "Susan go get my pants." reference was gold!

scary i cannot see😨😨😳😳
ho now allah?allah is do like this because i don know
Indeed.
Not gold but platinum
Also an absence of "Foreground Muzak". His photography and camera work does all the talking needed.
Ambient sound of the Tornado at ~ 6:00 is awesome and unnerving. There is a visceral reaction to the menace it adds to the images. Sound is the missing element in most tornado videos, because of talking, recording from the interior of a car or-get this-music. Well done, Pecos Hank.
There is background music in most of his videos, a lot of it if not all, he does himself.
Still no word on whether he can play Classical Gas though, lolz
YES! And it's eerily reminiscent of the tornado sound from "The Wizard of Oz"--in retrospect I'm impressed all over again with that scene, which still actually spooks me quite a lot. Another video where you can really hear the tornado is one of the videos from the Tuscaloosa tornado of 2011--the one recorded by two dudes who were just hanging out when the tornado came and tore the roof off their house, with them barely getting down to the basement in time. Amazing, menacing sounds in that one, recommended.
Ok boomer
Ann Teve, for sure. Most of the tornado chasers never bother to get the ambient sound.

Me: hears tornado siren
Pauses video
Still hears tornado siren
Oh s$%#
You ok Iron Man??? 😨👍
He dead
Iron Man did you mean shit on the end?
Tornado: *I am inevitable*
Don't think your slick that comment has been used before
Your footage is a step above almost all storm chasers I see. Your demeanor is that of awe and reverence. You don’t yell, cheer, or joke. You treat nature with the respect she deserves and demands. And holy hell what absolutely stunning footage. Clear, focused, and smooth. Absolutely earned a sub. You inspire me to do this one day and be able to share the majesty and horror of nature.
Well said.
@Sophia Thompson were you asking me or August?
@@birdgirl2235 People like you can't enjoy anything without being triggered. Please get help, you are an angry person.
@@mikev2116 nah I'm good fam.
Agreed
Her: Babe come over
Me: I can't, there's a tornado
Her: My parents aren't home
Me: 4:15
Underrated comment. Lmao
Absolutely beautiful
This comment deserves to be pinned.
I'm DEAD!
That's great! hahaha
Dude, you have the MOST exquisitely detailed tornado footage I've ever seen online. So absolutely breathtakingly beautiful that when I watch, I almost forget for a few seconds how deadly these mesmerizing, dancing monsters can be. You are a true artist and a very brave one, at that.
They must get alot of money for doing this kind of work for risking their lives
🌀🌩🌪🌫⚡
Agreed
Not really only money most of them make is when they can sell the footage to a news station

The ghostly howl from that thing is terrifying.
It looks like is straight out from a nightmare or horror game.
It is truly terrifying.
Terror que vem do céu.
Yes indeed
But in a good way.
As a filmmaker I just want to say, You are a true artist with great knowledge of nature and BIG balls
Big b4lls lol!!! I agree with what you said.
This is one of the most beautiful tornados I've seen so far. The way it forms, shapeshifts and then dies - absolutely stunning.
are you hitting on the tornado
@@wavematrix lol 😄
this person has a tornado fe tish
I LOVE TORNADOES 🌪
😸😸😸😸
I subed
Your videos actually help me out so much with my depression and anxiety. Whenever I feel like I'm in a downward spiral, I come here, and my mental health stabilises.
We leave the downward spiral and enter the happy tornado spiral. ;-)
hell yeah. that's exactly what I'm usually here for too! it really helps me calm down and focus on the awe of nature rather than get too hung up in other things
Right there with you, mm. I find it therapeutic to feel humbled... to be reminded that there are things I am powerless to control, and the best way to handle them isn't by freaking out, but rather backing away and observing them with calm curiosity, looking for a lesson to learn. And then Hank's humor comes in adding just the right amount of levity. :-)
I was having no complex issues before watching this video, a bit stressed but nothing uncommon. After viewing this video I feel warm and content. I came to see if anybody else felt the same. It’s wonderful not being alone so to speak.
@@drinkinbebop6231 same
Kansas: we have nice wea-
Me: I got a notification hold on
*tornado wants to know your location*
underrated comment
So true 😂
I like your commit
🤣🤣🤣🤣💀✋
😂😂😂
I've watched dozens and dozens of tornado videos through the years... this video is the most incredible footage I've ever seen... not sure how you can even move with balls the size of watermelons.
Hank is quite safe when it comes to storm spotting. He keeps a safe distance for wide angle shots and he stays alert. He also knows what he’s doing. There is always some danger though.
spellthemagicword how does tornadoes kill people? Like will they get sucked into the sky if they get caught into the vortex?
The wind speeds and debris. At 200-300mph, it picks up pavement, vaporizes wood home structures, and pretty much destroys anything it comes in contact with.
🤣
Ahmed saeed that’s actually very possible if you’re in the path without shelter. There are videos of tornados picking up semi trailers and train cars and lifting them into the sky. So a human would be nothing.
if you listen closely you can hear reed timmer screaming somewhere off in the distinance.....
Maricela Flores *covers ears*
Wait, what part?
@@jordijordinium It's a joke, with how loud Reed can get in whatever video he is in.
"GET IN THE CAR NOW! WE HAVE TO MOVE NOW!" Even though it was his dumb ass who kept them waiting too long trying to get a good shot while debris flies all around his team almost killing them. Yup, that's Reed. Too much yelling for me.
Amy Ann BACK UUUUUUUP
