Can we please take a moment to thank Hank for not repeatedly screaming “oh my god” and generally acting like it’s a TV drama? Not only is the quality amazing, your calmness and narration is amazing as well
I'm not familiar with most storm chasers, but the ones who start hysterically screaming and yelling at others to get back in the car and such drive me nuts. You can tell they're doing it as an act. If they were that genuinely scared it'd be the last time they ever went storm chasing.
From my 7 year old son, whose a big fan: I love tornadoes. Pecos Hank is the best and I always check back to see new videos. You are very kind to animals and you are a nature man like me. Please keep making videos- Hayden
Some people are calm and collected, some are crazy and extremely excited and then you've got that over exaggerated one's all over the place... the first 2 are fine because a lot of people are like that...the last one tho... well ya
As the father of a 6 month old and a 6 year old it's touching to see someone actually call out the parents out there for what we do. Your tribute was beautiful. Beyond that your content is amazing and I hope we can both be brave together for many years to come.
You're a genuinely good-to-the-core human being in the same kind of way Mr. Rogers was, and that is a high compliment. By the way, have you ever thought about posting the unedited, long, raw footage of a chase? I would definitely enjoy watching 30, 45, 60 min+ of continuous, non-sped-up footage of a single chase. Videos like that make the viewer feel as though they're along for the ride. Thanks again for being an awesome human being.
what a awesome display. I look forward to seeing urban work as a storm spotter in new Jersey I see different weather. have seen a funnel cloud and went through a tornado in second grade. we took shelter in the halls, I've been hooked ever since! thanks vato!!
Bob Ross taught us to love ourselves. Steve Irwin taught us to love animals. Mr. Rogers taught us to love each other. Pecos Hank taught us to love tornadoes.
Wim van de Sande The wise approach upon runway 16L at SEA is going heading 165. It may look like you are at least a mile off, but you are not. Keep following this, you might want to be at least .2 away from heading 166 to land on center line. Be cautious of altitude. You do not want to be over or under glide slope. In this case, you will totally lose touchdown zone.
Your dedicating this to your mom really pulled at my heart. 2016 was quite a year. Here's to a safe and productive 2017 Hank. Just look for me becaause I'll be here watching for you..
You can find most of it online. Band Southern Backtones... The popular Instrumentals are "Angel's Serenade" "Glamourous Adagio" "Won't Pray Adagio" "Slumber Party Adagio" and off the new Pecos Hank record "Monster Show Instrumental"
The footage from 10:53-11:28 is just amazing. The sirens, the development of the wall cloud and the sky colors just add amazement and a respect to these powerful forces of nature.
That was a very respectful dedication to ur mom, and to all of us parents. My mom was killed by a drunk driver when I was 15, I was in the car when she drew her last breath and my dad died 8 years later. I was a single dad of 2 now grown young men, it was hard to the fact that I deprived myself of many things (sometimes including food) so that they never went hungry and so that they had everything they not necessarily wanted but needed. I appreciate that gesture and recognition sir, you've earned my respect.
This is my favorite storm chasing channel of all. Not only is the video quality top notch here, but there is more depth too... allowing us to see some of the other sights on the roads that a chaser comes across (wildlife, wild people, and wild music). And the focus on other weather phenomenon (especially lightning) adds another dimension beyond just tornadoes. Plus it's all edited together so nicely, with Hank's original music providing a wonderful score to the breathtaking footage. Too many other channels give us shaky videos with overly-excited people shouting that there's a tornado on the ground. Thanks for the great videos, Hank, and best wishes for a great chase in 2017!
And best of all is his ultra-cool demeanor even when he "get's a little too close." No annoying screaming, crying, begging God for help, and just in general being repugnant. You are one smooth dude Hank, I love your stuff!
I'm in awe of your talents as a musician, a photographer, and storyteller. Your warmth toward everything living fills my heart and reminds me to remain humble in these coronavirus times. Thank you for sharing a part of your life growing up and of course, your enthusiasm for tornadoes and snakes! 🕊️❤️🌻
@JanineSerenity Exactly! Pecos Hank is alarmingly the full package...the talents, the attitudes towards nature, people, life, the world around, the kindness, the humour(!). The things he said about bravery/having children and his mother were typical of him in that they were self effacing, gentle and full of love.
Wow a tornado that ain't gonna scare me Me: hello tornado Tornado: Hello Me: Wanna be friends? Tornado: Sure! Me: Ok lets go crash my house its not looking good Tornado: Ok sure no problem! Tornado: *Crashes Her houses* Me: Yeyy i have no house Now Me:Tornado Can you build a mansion for me? Tornado: Sure i love too! Tornado:Builds a mansion for her* Me: Yeyy your the best tornado! Tornado: aww so sweet!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Me: lets go crash everybody' house! Tornado: yeyy i love Too! Tornado: Crashes everybody's house The End,
Thanks for the kind words about parents, I have two toddlers and a third bubba on the way. I’m lying in bed with morning sickness watching your beautiful videos, they blow me away and just help me get my mind off the tiredness. Thank you for that! Your mum sounds like a total hero, hope your dad is resting in peace.
8:56 to 10:48 is just mesmerizing. the music is perfect, it shows the entire lifetime of the tornado which is probably the most beautiful ive ever seen, tied in with the time-lapse at the end is just so well done. It gives me the best vibes ever. Period. I find myself being able to watch videos from Pecos Hank that were from a long time ago again and again because they are just so entertaining. Good job hank, even though this is from 2016.
I know I'm a bit late but I just want to say that your mother sounds amazing! And if you are as good of a person as you appear to be here on TH-cam, she did a great job raising you! :) All the best to you and your family from Switzerland, where we mainly have mountains instead of tornadoes ;)
Same here from the same country; what you got in tornadoes, we got in avalanches and hailstorms. Also, my most heartfelt respect towards your mom; I wish someday I might become such a great and devoted person, too.
Hey Hank, I am just working my way through your catalog, and I have to say, your photography is simply gorgeous. Framing, lighting, editing, the perfect blend of science, art, and being a daredevil. Thank you for bringing these beautiful and terrifying images and videos to the public.
Your Mom did good ! I truly enjoy watching your productions- whether they be tornadoes or music or critters. Your photography/video and editing skills are world class. I think that one stovepipe stunned everyone who saw it... just sat there and bragged on it... what a sight. What a year. Thanks for taking the time and effort to package this video for us. Really good stuff.
I wonder why they haven't invented some sort of deflector to raise over at least the front windshield to prevent hail damage. Something welded or less permanently attached to the top that be extended and retracted automatically.
My favourite storm chaser, I'm so glad for this video. It's like the best documentary - ever! Music that goes in the background is so cool, perfectly flowing with picture. Awesome work, as always. Keep it up Hank, and stay safe.
You're certainly right about parentage; a lifelong commitment to protect and nurture. That said your dedication to storm chasing in all it's guises certainly shows in the quality of every single upload. You capture the America I love in your segue shots; the pickup truck & wooden outhouse, the humorous signs - "BEWARE OF WELL... JUST BEWARE" I would imagine you qualify for a substantial discount at Juans Windshields seeing as you're such a frequent customer 😂 To summarise; a fantastic review of the 2016 season, visuals, commentary, music and humour on piont as always Hank. Keep bringing us the content we yearn throughout 2017 and above all *stay safe brother*
What kind of snake was that, BTW? Another bull snake? It obviously wasn't venomous given how you walked right up on it with no concern about getting bitten.
I've never watched a tornado video before. I admit they scare me BUT who would have know they could be so beautiful!! The sky after one passes..just incredible!! You have by far the best video and still shots!
I have a serious phobia of tornadoes and volcanoes (natural disasters in general mesmerise and terrify me). Your channel helps to expose me to my fear in a safe way. Your voice is so soothing, I love the music and the footage you capture is incredible. Thank you so much for what you do. It's a bucket list item for me to be a passenger on a storm chase with someone like you, and tackle my fear once and for all and change it to a healthy respect.
Damn Hank every time you upload a new video it always tops your other ones. From the great photography to the kick ass music your videos are never a letdown. I raised a bowl of cornflakes in your honor for an awesome 2016 tornado season. I wish for the best in 2017 and hope you get another great year!
Never tire of seeing the Katie footage. First of all you got me in it (albeit a small yellow blob amongst the trees) but that was my first Tornado I witnessed and I got to see it from birth to death. Now I will have to make do with your videos for this year.
Pecos Hank, I want to express to you, my gratitude, for making these videos. For your humor, your childlike gleefulness, the research you do, compassion you show, your perspective, amazing cinematography, and most of all....your soundtracks! Best storm videos on the web, hands down. From a fan in North Alabama: keep doing what you do, and doing it your way brother. Aight den....late!
Dude I’ve watched every best of the year videos. It being 2023 at the time of this post. This one. This one right here dude sucked me in emotional I was scared, I was in awe, I was lonely, I was sad, I was thankful to have loved and have been loved. You know how to bring the emotions out of your content. That’s a rare thing. THANK YOU
People in Tornado Alley: *literally just do nothing and go on with our day* Mother Nature: HEY OKLAHOMA, HERE'S A FREAKING TORNADO, BLIZZARD, EARTHQUAKE, FLASH FLOOD, AND JUST FOR FUN, A WILD FIRE!!! People in Oklahoma: *insert surprised Pikachu meme*
You sir, can make me laugh like few others. "A good hailstone can leave you with bad karma. After a small offering to Juan and a 45-minute penance in his waiting room. your good to go again." Just priceless!.
You are an amazing person. Mu son and I watch your tornado videos and he finds them super cool! My husband and I have a daughter on the way soon (Due the 29th of March) even now she kicks at the tornado videos we watch on your channel. I'm gonna have 2 storm chasers on my hands. Thank you for making me feel wonderful for being a parent. I hope you have a wonderful 2017 full of amazing Tornadoes! We will all be watching :)
I will do so. Hopefully you have some more videos up by the time my daughter is born ao I have something to do during labor lol. Thanks for responding! ♡
My son was 4 days late but breech. This one I get to have a normal delivery and I'm cleared to go any day my daughter wants her birthday according to my doctor. Im 34 weeks tomorrow! I cant wait to meet her ♡
Been binge watching your videos for a few hours now. I'm impressed. Good footage with minimal swearing (means I can watch with my storm loving kids) and fun animal cameos. Subscribed!
Hey Hank, thanks for all your awesome video's! Man, you sure have the best severe weather shots available on the internet!! I love severe weather and all it's phenomena! In 2013 I was driving to Oklahoma when that deadly EF5 struck Moore. What a drama. I didn't get to see this tornado, but I did see the supercell that spawned it develop right in front of me. Spending the night in a hotel in Oklahoma, I talked to 2 little brothers who were in the elementary school that got hit and who lost their home to the tornado. Their story was mind boggling! The next day, driving back to Dallas, I did see the aftermath as well. Unreal! This event, despite being horrific off course, left such a big impression on me that it totally got me into stormchasing. So in June 2016 I came back to the USA, all the way from Holland, for 2 weeks of solo chasing. Allthough June was a pretty quiet month and i didn't get to see an actual tornado, the severe weather I witnessed was mesmerizing and made the 7000 miles driving so worth it! I made a video of my chase and I am pretty proud of it. It's most Gopro and Iphone footage because my Sony camera let me down, but nevertheless I got some great shots. Can you tell me what you think of my video and can you please help me get it some more views maybe? Or maybe you've got some advise for more views? It took me so much effort and I would love to show it to more people. Anyway, your feedback would be highly appreciated!! Please keep in mind that I am an amateur who's pretty new to the game. I hope to be back in the USA in may 2018 for more chasing. Keep up your great work and keep your awesome viedeos coming! Cheers from Holland, Guy th-cam.com/video/kDKbQBwnwhs/w-d-xo.html And this is the video from my improvised chase on may 20th, 2016: th-cam.com/video/a289e0SUmCo/w-d-xo.html
I discovered this channel a week ago, and wow is it good! Hank's cool composure and humour combined with the amazinggggg visuals that he records just makes for the most breahtaking TH-cam videos ever. I love it! Also I'd love to point out how fast this channel is growing!!! I subbed a week ago, and he had 863k subs. 7 days later, as I write this, he has 903k subs!? So glad that the TH-cam algorithm is doing what it should be doing. love to see it.
This is so he doesn't get demonetized. If the autogenerated captions detects words that are blacklisted, there's a chance the video will be demonetized.
Pecos Hank has the best tornado/weather videos and this specific video by far is the best of the best. Catching the dreamlike tornadoes, saving the animals and a shout out to his mother. PH's narration and witt compare to none and the quality, editing and timing of the video sets the bar so high, it will probably never be reached by others. Since moving to Texas at the age of 3, I have always had a morbid fascination with tornadoes. I have heard tornado sirens and sought legitimate shelter multiple times but never seen one. I was only 10 miles away from the F5 Jarrell Tornado in 1997 and in 1990 (near Ft Worth) sought shelter in a storage closet in our daycare that sustained damage from a small tornado that went just by us. The chacos and beauty mixed together make for an intoxicating cocktail that lures you in like a fly to bug zapper.
I literally love all of your videos. Never know if I’m going to get a tornado montage, or a lightning show, or a therapy session with animals. You NEED your own tv show. I’d pay for cable again to watch that show 👌🏻
I was living in Garden City, KS at the time. We saw a good-looking storm, had time on our hands and gas was cheap, so we hopped in the car and drove an hour to Leoti. We, along with every other storm chaser, watched it head north. It WAS beautiful! Love your footage.
Hank you are an incredible person, I have been watching your channel for a long time and am utterly obsessed with tornadoes (since I was a kid) I love your videos and you are my favorite go to tornado channel because your videos are always top quality, informative, funny and filled with little snippets of your chase time especially helping animals. I would love to one day tag along chasing with you and I wish you a safe 2017. Finally getting around to watch this video on my birthday was well worth it :)
The imagery here was stunning as usual but the most beautiful part was that dedication to your Mom. ❤️ I don’t know how I could have missed this one because it feels like I’ve seen all of them at least twice.
I'm going to say this now, I really don't get tornadoes but I saw this funnel yesterday....was huge, but it went away in five minutes and I was relived.

I absolutely love this channel. Each video is so interesting and keeps my attention. The narration is great too. Very friendly sounding and entertaining. My whole life I have been interested in Tornadoes. The way they move, why they form, and just how incredible they are to be made by nature. I have never seen one in person before because of where I live. But soon I would like to attempt to see one myself.
It's always good to see you here Craig... and on Facebook. I had to compress several of the scenes twice just to get my MBP to spit out the final export.... No big 4K edits til' after the peak season in July.
Pecos Hank I still can't get over the wind speed at the surface on the Wynnewood, OK tornado. That thing was a grinder when it hit that house and sucked the roof in the vortex!
Your videos are some of the best tornado/storm chasing out there (TH-cam or TV). Truly a combination of science and art making these! Stay safe on the road, good luck, and have fun this chase season!
I wasn’t expecting to cry on any of your videos, but the dedication to your mom was so sweet. Also, I gasped out loud at the young man who survived the tornado clinging to the commode. WoW
Here in Brazil, this phenomenon is starting to become popular, I mean in the sense that they are starting to happen one after the other. What a fantastic job you produced
I love your storm chasing videos! You really deserve more subs, and more support. You're awesome! You inspire me to be a storm chaser in a few years! Thank you, bro :D
Can we please take a moment to thank Hank for not repeatedly screaming “oh my god” and generally acting like it’s a TV drama? Not only is the quality amazing, your calmness and narration is amazing as well

I know I'm a bit late but I just want to say that your mother sounds amazing! And if you are as good of a person as you appear to be here on TH-cam, she did a great job raising you! :) All the best to you and your family from Switzerland, where we mainly have mountains instead of tornadoes ;)
Same here from the same country; what you got in tornadoes, we got in avalanches and hailstorms. Also, my most heartfelt respect towards your mom; I wish someday I might become such a great and devoted person, too.
Hey Hank, I am just working my way through your catalog, and I have to say, your photography is simply gorgeous. Framing, lighting, editing, the perfect blend of science, art, and being a daredevil. Thank you for bringing these beautiful and terrifying images and videos to the public.
Tornado:Yay I am gonna destroy the world
Siren:*Sounds*
Tornado: ._.
I HAVE BIN DISCOVERED
*Tornado: Oh hell no*
Enemy spotted
_Minnnty_ DNA_ *A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED*
Wow that's is a pretty short story
Your Mom did good ! I truly enjoy watching your productions- whether they be tornadoes or music or critters. Your photography/video and editing skills are world class. I think that one stovepipe stunned everyone who saw it... just sat there and bragged on it... what a sight. What a year. Thanks for taking the time and effort to package this video for us. Really good stuff.
Glad there's people out there that appreciate it Rick. Take care!
@@PecosHank hello
I'm wondering how many windshields you go through in average in a season.
TTex11 probably 3-7
Enough to keep Juan in business. 😂 #JuanIsTheMan!
19388328199373737733
I wonder why they haven't invented some sort of deflector to raise over at least the front windshield to prevent hail damage. Something welded or less permanently attached to the top that be extended and retracted automatically.
12:00 “I’d turn back if I were you” *hmm intensifies*
My favourite storm chaser, I'm so glad for this video. It's like the best documentary - ever! Music that goes in the background is so cool, perfectly flowing with picture. Awesome work, as always. Keep it up Hank, and stay safe.
Huge thanks!
I was whating for this vdio
He sounds like a great person to have a beer with.
You're certainly right about parentage; a lifelong commitment to protect and nurture. That said your dedication to storm chasing in all it's guises certainly shows in the quality of every single upload. You capture the America I love in your segue shots; the pickup truck & wooden outhouse, the humorous signs -
"BEWARE OF
WELL... JUST BEWARE"
I would imagine you qualify for a substantial discount at Juans Windshields seeing as you're such a frequent customer 😂
To summarise; a fantastic review of the 2016 season, visuals, commentary, music and humour on piont as always Hank. Keep bringing us the content we yearn throughout 2017 and above all *stay safe brother*
Not everyone relates. Glad you dig it friend.
your channel is the best,Hank
Only Hank could save a snake in the middle of the road during a tornado lol nice vid as always Hank.
Thanks for watching Daniel.
What kind of snake was that, BTW? Another bull snake? It obviously wasn't venomous given how you walked right up on it with no concern about getting bitten.
Pecos Hank your amazing
Upcycle Shoes there are small headed venomous snakes!
What a beautiful tribute at the end
I teared up alittle at the end,you're a great man and you absolutely are very brave whether you belive it or not.
I love the sign at 5:05.
eric moss lol
eric moss me too
I want that sign
me 3 lol
i need 1...lol
I've never watched a tornado video before. I admit they scare me BUT who would have know they could be so beautiful!! The sky after one passes..just incredible!! You have by far the best video and still shots!
You need to check out some more storm vids Erika :D
I have a serious phobia of tornadoes and volcanoes (natural disasters in general mesmerise and terrify me). Your channel helps to expose me to my fear in a safe way. Your voice is so soothing, I love the music and the footage you capture is incredible. Thank you so much for what you do. It's a bucket list item for me to be a passenger on a storm chase with someone like you, and tackle my fear once and for all and change it to a healthy respect.
“I don’t like danger” isn’t a phobia, it is an instinctual response.
Why u scared of me tash
@@NorthGermanConf Oh you know... death, destruction, unstoppable force of nature, terrifying roar. You be scary tornado
11:03 *_Those sirens are beautifully haunting. A sign of the impending doom of a tornado to bringeth upon fury and destruction cometh._*
“I see it cow” 😂
COW: But... MOO-OO-OO!! 🐄
HIM: Don't worry. It's not going to suck you up... Yet.
COW: Moo-wait wut?! 😲

Damn Hank every time you upload a new video it always tops your other ones. From the great photography to the kick ass music your videos are never a letdown. I raised a bowl of cornflakes in your honor for an awesome 2016 tornado season. I wish for the best in 2017 and hope you get another great year!
Not many people know how to celebrate with a good ol bowl of cornflakes. Life is Good!
"Never in my whole life.. never seen something worse that 2016" xd welcome to 2020
AMEN TO THAT
It wasn't even remotely as bad, seeing the 2020 video recap, these tornadoes blew 2020 out
All those tornadoes were just pissed that the cubs won the world series
NERDY6000 Clash of Clans and Clash Royale ... Heck no. Ever heard of Chicago being the Windy City? They were just celebrating with their Windy cousins
Ok I think I just stumbled upon a still salty Indians fan
I'm a Indians fan and sometimes I get mad when my team loses I get a little salty but not like this.
no the tornados were sad they won but they were happy for their windy cousins/friends. (this is coming from a cardinals fan😳😂)
Never tire of seeing the Katie footage. First of all you got me in it (albeit a small yellow blob amongst the trees) but that was my first Tornado I witnessed and I got to see it from birth to death. Now I will have to make do with your videos for this year.
I know right? Glad you got to see it Vinsta.
Pecos Hank, I want to express to you, my gratitude, for making these videos. For your humor, your childlike gleefulness, the research you do, compassion you show, your perspective, amazing cinematography, and most of all....your soundtracks! Best storm videos on the web, hands down. From a fan in North Alabama: keep doing what you do, and doing it your way brother. Aight den....late!
Dude I’ve watched every best of the year videos. It being 2023 at the time of this post. This one. This one right here dude sucked me in emotional I was scared, I was in awe, I was lonely, I was sad, I was thankful to have loved and have been loved. You know how to bring the emotions out of your content. That’s a rare thing. THANK YOU
People in Tornado Alley: *literally just do nothing and go on with our day*
Mother Nature: HEY OKLAHOMA, HERE'S A FREAKING TORNADO, BLIZZARD, EARTHQUAKE, FLASH FLOOD, AND JUST FOR FUN, A WILD FIRE!!!
People in Oklahoma: *insert surprised Pikachu meme*
Lol
Sums it up pretty well
Oklahomans don’t get surprised by it anymore :/
@@whatsupfuckers4078 holy s**t
@@whatsupfuckers4078holy s**t is that
The speech at the end about how Parenthood is the truly courageous thing to do was beautiful. I wish I could like a video more than once.
You sir, can make me laugh like few others.
"A good hailstone can leave you with bad karma. After a small offering to Juan and a 45-minute penance in his waiting room. your good to go again."
Just priceless!.
Finally! A good channel with tornados without the super loud music and his voice is real. Subscribed
You are an amazing person. Mu son and I watch your tornado videos and he finds them super cool! My husband and I have a daughter on the way soon (Due the 29th of March) even now she kicks at the tornado videos we watch on your channel. I'm gonna have 2 storm chasers on my hands. Thank you for making me feel wonderful for being a parent. I hope you have a wonderful 2017 full of amazing Tornadoes! We will all be watching :)
Please tell your son and husband Pecos Hank says Howdy.
I will do so. Hopefully you have some more videos up by the time my daughter is born ao I have something to do during labor lol. Thanks for responding! ♡
P.s My son and Husband say hello back
Allison Hamala you better be ready everyday, you could be early like a month(like me) or late
My son was 4 days late but breech. This one I get to have a normal delivery and I'm cleared to go any day my daughter wants her birthday according to my doctor. Im 34 weeks tomorrow! I cant wait to meet her ♡
I'm going to Juans! I don't even care if it's a 2000 mile drive from my house!
Yes please!
Eddie Latko I’m going to open a business named Juan’s auto detailing maybe I’ll get more business.
I love how he stops and takes up his own time to get animals that are completely exposed and gets them to shelter
Been binge watching your videos for a few hours now. I'm impressed. Good footage with minimal swearing (means I can watch with my storm loving kids) and fun animal cameos. Subscribed!

"for the first couple of hours, this supercell lacked the ingredients to drop *tomatoes*"

If you see, some times it's potatoes
lol
That is one of my favourites.
@@vickymoreira1260 I've seen burrito's too
Thanks for the recap Hank! This year's storms were some of my favourite and I can't wait to see what you'll experience in the 2017 season.
You're welcome Amanda. It might be awhile before we something like last year... AND only 17 deaths all year.
Hey Hank, thanks for all your awesome video's! Man, you sure have the best severe weather shots available on the internet!! I love severe weather and all it's phenomena! In 2013 I was driving to Oklahoma when that deadly EF5 struck Moore. What a drama. I didn't get to see this tornado, but I did see the supercell that spawned it develop right in front of me. Spending the night in a hotel in Oklahoma, I talked to 2 little brothers who were in the elementary school that got hit and who lost their home to the tornado. Their story was mind boggling! The next day, driving back to Dallas, I did see the aftermath as well. Unreal! This event, despite being horrific off course, left such a big impression on me that it totally got me into stormchasing. So in June 2016 I came back to the USA, all the way from Holland, for 2 weeks of solo chasing. Allthough June was a pretty quiet month and i didn't get to see an actual tornado, the severe weather I witnessed was mesmerizing and made the 7000 miles driving so worth it! I made a video of my chase and I am pretty proud of it. It's most Gopro and Iphone footage because my Sony camera let me down, but nevertheless I got some great shots. Can you tell me what you think of my video and can you please help me get it some more views maybe? Or maybe you've got some advise for more views? It took me so much effort and I would love to show it to more people. Anyway, your feedback would be highly appreciated!! Please keep in mind that I am an amateur who's pretty new to the game. I hope to be back in the USA in may 2018 for more chasing. Keep up your great work and keep your awesome viedeos coming! Cheers from Holland, Guy

And this is the video from my improvised chase on may 20th, 2016:
th-cam.com/video/a289e0SUmCo/w-d-xo.html
I discovered this channel a week ago, and wow is it good! Hank's cool composure and humour combined with the amazinggggg visuals that he records just makes for the most breahtaking TH-cam videos ever. I love it!
Also I'd love to point out how fast this channel is growing!!! I subbed a week ago, and he had 863k subs. 7 days later, as I write this, he has 903k subs!? So glad that the TH-cam algorithm is doing what it should be doing. love to see it.
The editing, visual content, and music make this channel one of the best on TH-cam. Certainly the best in the storm chaser category.
That cow must have seen the movie Twister. lol I love your vids, keep up the good work! I'm living vicariously through you.
Rachel P that was it's audition tape for a sequel or remake to twister lol
Rachel P
I love that movie
@@misterb9833 nobody asked.
@@mb72mb72 for you to exist
Twister is depressing but interesting. Cool too.
Juan had a profitable year.
He's starting to price gauge a bit too.
I wonder if safelight windshield repair works out there?..hear they come to you,bet they wouldn't if they know what you do...hehehe
Truely TIMELESS Hank, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve watched these videos. You sparked my interest in tornadoes almost a decade ago.
''Thank you, Mr Tornado. It's been a pleasure"
Well that's courteous of you. :-)
Maybe that tornado will repay its “thank you” to hank in the future for some amazing footage.
@Anna Dorozynski Juan's autoglass will be rich in no time
Pecos, this video was breathtaking. The quality was excellent. Keep doing what you do best! We will be here, cheering you on!
Appreciate it Lemonlime.
7:59 turn on the captions: For the first couple hours this supercell lacked the ingredients to drop tomatoes. So after the lights went out...
XD
This is so he doesn't get demonetized. If the autogenerated captions detects words that are blacklisted, there's a chance the video will be demonetized.
@CockroachTheFoul i dont understand wot u men-
Lol
@@CockroachTheFoul but why tornadoes? It either says potatoes or tomatoes in the captions. Why censor tornadoes? Its weather.
at 11:08 the sirens sound musical, and it goes perfectly with the epic weather scene.
Pecos Hank has the best tornado/weather videos and this specific video by far is the best of the best. Catching the dreamlike tornadoes, saving the animals and a shout out to his mother. PH's narration and witt compare to none and the quality, editing and timing of the video sets the bar so high, it will probably never be reached by others.
Since moving to Texas at the age of 3, I have always had a morbid fascination with tornadoes. I have heard tornado sirens and sought legitimate shelter multiple times but never seen one. I was only 10 miles away from the F5 Jarrell Tornado in 1997 and in 1990 (near Ft Worth) sought shelter in a storage closet in our daycare that sustained damage from a small tornado that went just by us. The chacos and beauty mixed together make for an intoxicating cocktail that lures you in like a fly to bug zapper.
I love seeing Hank rescue animals.
"snek...SNEK COME ON WE DONT GOT TIME FOR THIS"
I literally love all of your videos. Never know if I’m going to get a tornado montage, or a lightning show, or a therapy session with animals. You NEED your own tv show. I’d pay for cable again to watch that show 👌🏻
Be better on a streaming channel I bet
I was living in Garden City, KS at the time. We saw a good-looking storm, had time on our hands and gas was cheap, so we hopped in the car and drove an hour to Leoti. We, along with every other storm chaser, watched it head north. It WAS beautiful! Love your footage.
Hank you are an incredible person, I have been watching your channel for a long time and am utterly obsessed with tornadoes (since I was a kid) I love your videos and you are my favorite go to tornado channel because your videos are always top quality, informative, funny and filled with little snippets of your chase time especially helping animals. I would love to one day tag along chasing with you and I wish you a safe 2017.
Finally getting around to watch this video on my birthday was well worth it :)
Appreciate you hanging around and taking the time to comment. Best to ya in 2017!
Thank you Hank!
Amazing. I didn't expect to be hit in the feels at the end there.
I like the mysterious backround music :). It makes it so much more enjoyable!
most of time its actually town Toronado sirens
The imagery here was stunning as usual but the most beautiful part was that dedication to your Mom. ❤️
I don’t know how I could have missed this one because it feels like I’ve seen all of them at least twice.
Thanks for all these amazing videos despite the risks. You're doing what I dream of accomplishing one day.
The way you do your videos are almost like mini documentaries!
Great video, thank you for what you do!
this makes me think:
you never know when someone across your country could be in a life-threatening moment right now.
Yeah the dude that survived in the bathroom has a hell of a tale from that tornado
CoinBoing Butterfly effect.
I'm going to say this now, I really don't get tornadoes but I saw this funnel yesterday....was huge, but it went away in five minutes and I was relived.

I absolutely love this channel. Each video is so interesting and keeps my attention. The narration is great too. Very friendly sounding and entertaining. My whole life I have been interested in Tornadoes. The way they move, why they form, and just how incredible they are to be made by nature. I have never seen one in person before because of where I live. But soon I would like to attempt to see one myself.
Good luck Kaitlyn. I appreciate the feedback.
Kaitlyn Milliken Agreed!!
Wow, what a year and you are so right about parents, they are the courageous ones. Thanks for sharing Hank!
It's always good to see you here Craig... and on Facebook. I had to compress several of the scenes twice just to get my MBP to spit out the final export.... No big 4K edits til' after the peak season in July.
Pecos Hank I still can't get over the wind speed at the surface on the Wynnewood, OK tornado. That thing was a grinder when it hit that house and sucked the roof in the vortex!
Legends know that the speech at the end was more valuable than just tornadoes. Awesome Hank. Keep up the good work, mate!
11:17 thats totally the sound i want to hear before i die to a cloud
Your videos are some of the best tornado/storm chasing out there (TH-cam or TV). Truly a combination of science and art making these! Stay safe on the road, good luck, and have fun this chase season!

You truly have a talent. Not just storm chasing, but documenting it. The narration, cinematography and score are all so captivating.

I wasn’t expecting to cry on any of your videos, but the dedication to your mom was so sweet.
Also, I gasped out loud at the young man who survived the tornado clinging to the commode. WoW

Here in Brazil, this phenomenon is starting to become popular, I mean in the sense that they are starting to happen one after the other. What a fantastic job you produced
I love your storm chasing videos! You really deserve more subs, and more support. You're awesome! You inspire me to be a storm chaser in a few years! Thank you, bro :D
Absolutely beautiful photography man ,,, there are photographers and there are artist ,,you are definitely the latter ,,,,,,good luck and God speed .
