bro needs to change his name to "Life Risk Chris"💀
HELP 😭
😂
Lmfao
Fr 💀
Definitely lol
Regarding yr comment at 7:32 - I completely agree. Long shots of tornado formation gives you the chance to see the entire storm structure and how air currents put the whole thing together. One of the most frustrating things about the El Reno footage is that almost no chaser was back far enough (except one person) to film the storm from top of the sky to earth. One person did, and it was jaw-dropping to see.
Is that angle of El Reno available on TH-cam? Sounds interesting
Would love to see it as it sounds amazing & interesting
Wasn't it Pecos Hank

“I almost died twice tornado chasing this year”
My brother in Christ, I think that is a sign to chill tf out.
Boooring

Bro almost died you think he's gonna be chill
I’ve been watching tornado videos for many years. You have some the most stunning footage I’ve ever seen. And this isn’t a “best of” lifetime reel, it’s just 2023! I’m glad you survived both near death experiences. Be so careful.
Thanks, 2023 was an incredible year

That was really foul 😭😭
@@gem6880 Hilarious* you mean hilarious.
At least it didn't have you frying😂😂😂
You know what, 34.9k subs and you're producing amazing content like this? You need more! Subbed!
I can't believe these storms almost killed you twice now! You're a lucky guy, clearly meant to be here for a reason. As Reed Timmer always says, Never stop chasing! Your editing is phenomenal and you're clearly showing some of the best parts about life!
🙏
Love your videos man, keep it up. I've actually had lightning strike a car I was in, it hit the radio antenna and the pure heat that radiated through the car was nuts. My car shut off and I pulled off, luckily it still drove just fine, but the radio antenna really didn't like to work anymore. My 1st experience almost being stuck was actually at home when it struck the alley way and scorched the pavement. I knew to get down as my hair stood up. I couldn't see for a solid few minutes and the heat was so bad I thought I died as I was only 11 years old. Anyways stay safe man and keep chasing because I'll definitely keep watching and cheering you on.
From what I've been told, cars are pretty good at protecting their occupants from lightning due to their metal frame absorbing the discharge and directing it away.
Certainly redeemed yourself from that April 4th incident with Chugwater on June 23rd and Yuma on August 8th!
Fantastic vid dude. Glad to have shared the adventure with you. Can’t wait for 2024.
How does one get involved with storm chasing? How did you learn?
@@CricketRodeo lots of research and experience driving around in bad conditions then I started chasing storms close to home and progressively got further and further from home as your understanding improves. That’s kinda the path I went down at least.
Awesome - thanks for replying. I’m up in Ontario Canada where we don’t get a ton of tornados. I guess I’ll start with research & see if I can get in on a chase sometime! :) all the best and hope you guys stay safe out there!
@@CricketRodeo Ontario does get them especially in the late spring and summer months. Southern Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba are a lot better to chase them though.
@@CeltonHenderson yeah for sure - we do get the odd one around here...usually hear about it after the fact but I'm looking into getting a decent weather radio and learning how to "find" the possible tornados to get there in time. Need to do more research on how to chase first so I don't do something unsafe. All the best! :)
i love your editing, it's both beautiful and captivating with the perfect sprinkle of humour
Merry Christmas everyone!
BTW HRC, never quit! I had to quit for health reasons back in the early 2000s and it’s killed me ever since. So, I live the chase thru you guys. Oh, and BTW, I got dibs on #26.
Glad I can help you get your storm fix!

@@ItWontLetMePutMyName259what does that have to do with this (NO OFFENSE)
if he really did die without being saved he could've gone to hell..@@Anything_Kellen

There's some sick footage in here! Love the mammatus backed tornado and the lightning in the tornado. Great chase man!
Thanks Lori
"This bird-fart tornado was a piece of crap"...You certainly have your own style, bro! 😂
I can’t with the fact that your pfp is a photo of you with a tornado in the background. your a true legend for that 😭😭
Dude what an incredible life!!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful weather. Stay safe brother!
Greetings from the UK
Thank you derelictCHEESEBURGER
You’re incredibly talented with that camera lens sir! You definitely have a gift for setting up shots and all that. You remind me so much of Hank, in all the ways that make him amazing! These storms are absolutely beautiful! I’m so glad you’re safe, now keep it that way! 😂
7:43 I have NEVER seen such a miraculous and beautiful tornado like that. Great catch on that one.
Happy Christmas Eve, Chris!
I'm so glad to see this video, and of you talking about all the monsters you saw till now for this year.
Never stop chasing damn it! And always follow your passions.
Youre one of my favourite channels on the platform! Love the content and im never missing an upload!
Rest and peace old car 0:16
Dude, your footage is incredible. This might be the best video with the most lightning. Testifying as a meteorologist by degree, and husband of a professional photographer. Nice work
I really like your vids, Chris. The little bits of humor are a great balance to the seriousness of the tornadoes lol.
I remember going to see the blue super moon and I was south of Denver. We found a good spot that had a good view of a big part of Colorado I remember seeing the red sprites in southern Wyoming which was insaine
Aww at your interactions with the cows! So cute!
Right on! June 27th birthday buddy! Awesome footage - the lightning bolt was terrifying.
You are GREAT at what you do!!! Absolutely superb!! stay safe out there!
*perfectly normal cumulus*
Chris: "THEY'RE THE BESTEST MOST BEAUTIFULEST CUMULUSES I'VE EVER SEEN"
Brilliant footage, great music and commentary. New subscriber from New Zealand.
Good video. Doing this in a quiet style similar to that of legend Pecos Hank was a good move for you. Loved the lightning shots and red sprites. Will have to watch again in better lighting conditions to see the green ghost. Thank God you weren’t hit by that lightning bolt.
No, your safety is definitely a factor in viewership, you did it buddy!
The storm at 10:19 looks like it has a face that’s creepy
Yeah
thanks for sharing your year with us , you got some magnificent shots ! cheers from Canada
Tornado really said "Run you better you better outrun my gun." 😂
😂
Watching this while being scared of storms and being in a storm right now. Love ya content ❤😂
1:49 Saw your footage on that day I was at my Grandmas house I have pictures of one the mesocyclones that was in one of these storms. The location is only 15 miles from where I live
Bro has still not learned his lesson from the last video he almost died
This is how storm chasing works
Bro what's more important the fame or your life
@@KeonGarrett-zu2gp life of course. I don't care about the fame. If I see a tornado I would literally risk my life to chase it
Hey I have a question if you were being paid a billion dollars would you trace I know this on tornado ranking doesn't exist but would you chase an ef6 for a billion dollars that quadruple which is 4 * 4 and bigger than the El Reno tornado would you do it just a question that's all
@@KeonGarrett-zu2gp that's a good question. But of course I would chase it. Reed timmer would do it cuz he's a crazy man
Seeing the Dominator brings back the good ol days from Discovery channel... miss that Series ngl
The tone in your narrating voice tells me everything I need to know.
Nice to see a fellow Coloradan. Luckily I was not affected by any tornadoes. However I did have multiple severe thunderstorms go through. Two on July 3rd and 4th. One in early August while I was on vacation on Oregon. And one more on September 14th
Edit: I live 20 minutes north of Denver
I gotta say, I'm glad you survived that nasty hit and are still alive to share your experiences with us. Here's looking forward to 2024!
This guy is so underrrated with content like this! He needs more subs
8:22 bro has more friends than me 😭
Your work is absolutely stunning! You have my dream job/hobby...hoping in the next couple years i will get to experience this!
good job! merry christmas
Great film work! Just came across ur videos tonight and quickly became a fan and it’s good to see that u seemed to have learned from past mistakes and not getting ur self in the middle of the tornados path. But if u do get up close and personal with them I hope u have some people to help u navigate, film, drive etc. Be safe out there!
4:41 why it so cute
8:15 - We're twins! 6/27 is my birthday too!
The sprites then the lightning and the amazing footage i subscribed immediately 😀
The fact you got the red sprites is insane. I didn’t think they were a thing until this year and my wife is really big into weather.
Yeah, seeing the tornado from a peaceful vantage shows the whole storm, not just the ground dustball that I'm sick of looking at.
"you look tasty number 26"💀
I just saw the Grand Canyon today for the first time. Pictures do not do it justice, it is absolutely something that must be seen in person
I'm a weather nut but haven't seen a tornado in-person...yet! I _almost_ got to see the Jarrell EF5 in 1997. My wife & I were in Sam's in Waco & heard a weatherman on a radio say, "there's a tornado south of Waco next to I-35!" My wife looked at me & got tears in her eyes since she _knew_ I wanted to drive south & try to see it, which terrified her. I couldn't do it! I love her!
Question, do chasers look for & buy cars with scratches & dents so y'all don't have to worry too much about getting more, like through hail damage?
You said lightning striking your car was a "near death experience," but I've always thought you were safe in a car? So, can it be dangerous/deadly for lightning to strike a car? Thanks for such an awe-inspiring video!
Wow. The Jarrell F5 was an extremely historic tornado, but I understand not wanting to get close, it was also extremely dangerous.
What camera do you use
Edit:chris:what is wrong with me? Celton:everything
I use a lot, Sony A7SIII, Panasonic G9, and the ista 360 oneX2
@@highriskchris This is my dream job and you taught me a lot thank you for sharing your story about tornadoes
Your videos are amazing
Yooo you have the same birthday as me and my name is also Chris but Criss, but your footage is absolutely amazing. I loved this video, keep up the work man! Never stop chasing.
Woah
Great video can't wait for 2024! Big fan btw!
At 9:15 minutes in the car you see infront of him is my teacher lol
Quite an eventful year for tornadoes
Fr
Dude, you really are High Risk Chris! This is so surreal! Also, glad you’re still alive, God has been protecting you. 👍🌪️
You got some beautiful shots. All that lightning is incredible!
So glad you're okay, and still chasing. :)
Lol all of the tornados are the most beautiful I've ever seen!!!!😂 🌪
Excellent videography and editing That is a skill all to itself . Very nice montage sir...
8:08 aww ice /hail:)
You make banger content bud, love your videos. Ive watched at least 4 videos all the way through. Definitely locked in
🙏
Woooow so many incredible things happened in this video! 10/10 subscribed
Love your videos! And agreed on the long shots being spectacular. It puts the tornado into perspective and gives us a sense of grandeur. :) In fact, it feels more like art than watching a video. This is more like a documentary and appreciation for nature, than trying to get us sitting on the edge of our seat wondering how the cameraman survived their encounter with the tornado.
I like both types of tornado videos, but this is so calming. Sans lightning, anyway. XD
We got the same birthday!
Highest quality video man!
Thanks birthday buddy haha
1:48 NO WAY! I chased that tornado that day. It was my first tornado chase ever.
Thank for sharing your storm experiences. Very entertaining, and educational.
Nebraska put on a show this past year 😍 glad my hometown gave you the most beautiful tornado you’ve seen!! Scottsbluff for the win💪
I see a lot of the similarities of storms & waves. 🌊 I surf and always think how every wave is unique and there will never ever be another wave identical to the one I just rode (or watched). Storms are like that - no matter how many funnel clouds or “similar” storms you see, they truly are one of a kind. Like the sunrise or sunset. It’s as if God has painted the sky for our enjoyment ❤
Never say Never. Even pilots use the odds table after they’ve had close calls...and my father stopped flying when too many signs started showing! (Including his best t friend dying in a suspicious crash in one of the planes Dad flew often.
Solid video man! Good seeing ya out there a few times. Hopefully see you out there in the near future!
This is some of the best footage I've ever seen, the time lapses are beautiful.
The Yuma F3 tornado was one of the most shifting one, since after 3 perfect loops it change to dusty, to a cone and finally a wedge nearly missing Yuta and was about to do a big circle after all of that loops
And actually it fascinated me after seeing the documentary on the trail map
Love the car graphic!
I was in that neighborhood right next to the highlands ranch tornado which was what got me into weather. I'm watching the video and I'm like I know where that is I live 3 mins from there
What a great video, thanks for sharing! I think when tornadoes hit, they hit hard or fade away quickly if the inflow isn't good enough, they turn mesocyclones into both wedge and cone tornadoes, when the supercells turn stronger and coast into a monster storm. Its fascinating that moderate risk and low risk aren't as high risk as high risk when the depth of the storm changes from funnel clouds into a stovepipe form interestingly enough, do you agree? Those sprites hit hard with lemon lime.
10:48 the lightning kinda looks like a stick figure :)
It sounds like you've had some intense and adventurous experiences! Near-death experiences, tornadoes, lightning, and goofy moments with friends can certainly make for memorable and unique stories. Remember to stay safe and take precautions in extreme weather situations. If you have any specific questions or if there's anything you'd like to share or discuss, feel free to let me know!
Bro this is so obvious its chatgpt
@@vo1dz_ yea
11:49 honestly I feel the same way... there's something so special about it. And honestly it reminds me of the ones I used to see on the 1990's VHS tornado tapes. Used to watch those all of the time as a kid~
“You look tasty #26.” 😂😂😂 I’m going to hell for laughing. Poor thing.
Omg those lightning time lapses were absolutely gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩🌩️🌪️⛈️⚡️⚡️⚡️
I live in north bend ne so I was scared when that tornado hit 5 miles away from me
"I Am Risk Chris" would be a great name you deserve it.🌪
Arizona has tornadoes btw, but it's very rare
We not gonna talk about how he said you look tasty number 26 😂
in the beginning of july, you had a possible massive missed opportunity to come up to Didsbury, Ab, Canada to watch a mile wide EF4 that I managed to watch in person
PAY-cos Hank. :P AMAZING Sprite and Ghosts brother! Glad you're okay despite them close calls!
This dude is such a thrillseeker, Not quitting after almost dying Twice? in the same year? Credits to you man. really Incredible
High Risk Chris. you should probably add a Low Risk Chris Channel and seek great footage from better view distance than right up in it. put two channels now then still do more close stuff if you want to do because its your life your choice then do the other less dangerous shots. that way you play a better lottery of odds of death by not always seeking the super up close shots. insane footage man great edits never stop doing what you love just put parameters in place to be able to do the most of it you can
Love the shots of tall tornado with sunset and the one with lightning down the side. Big weather indeed!
0:46 i love how clearly you can see the rear flank down draft form the mesocyclone
I live
Great sun up of the 2023 season Chris, epic video! More in 24 please 🙏👌
Yup twice HOW U ALIVE THIS IS PLANE LUCK
The FEZ music is a great touch 👌 11:35
Bro I swear you are so lucky, others are so unfortunate and all you get is close calls. GOD must’ve gave you unlimited life support I swear😂🙏
I’ve been watching Hank Peco’s for a long time and love how he jumps out of his car to save like deadly ❤
I swear I have a gut feeling that 2024 is guaranteed to have EF5s
Yeah I believe someone else will be sending those ones.
What's your gut feeling on lottery numbers? Won the mega millions yet lol?
@@Enjoyer.762 nah cause every decade or so ef5 tornadoes occur last one was in 2013
