MAY 6, 2015 TORNADO OUTBREAK STORY:
At 1:25 PM a tornado watch was issued and by 2:50 PM, a small isolated thunderstorm was already producing several funnel clouds 60 miles southwest of Oklahoma City.
Powerful positive lightning activity was increasing near a classic merry-go-round base and a tight tornado briefly twisted to the ground. The storm was intensifying and the broader picture revealed a loaded gun scenario with Oklahoma City in its cross heirs.
RFD SURGE : SUPERCELL GETTING STRONGER AND STRONGER
The tornado cyclone circumference was expanding and funnels were writhing inside its curtains like a cage full of snakes
The RFD or Rear Flank Downdraft is a key mechanism in the formation of tornadoes in supercells and may include intense wind, rain and hail surging from the backside of the storm.
When storm chasers see strong wind and rain recirculating back into a developing tornado, they know it means trouble.
In this video a classic scenario of a powerful rear flank downdraft obscures an intensifying tornado in seconds. Unfortunately many people drive through RFD walls of rain only to meet their demise on the other side.
Strong RFD's can blow out windows and overturn vehicles. Large tornadoes can and often do change direction so driving through a powerful, blinding Rear flank Downdraft is a highly dangerous gamble even for veteran storm chasers.
MILE WIDE EF3
A mile wide tornado causing EF3 damage struck Bridge Creek Oklahoma, a small suburb less than 15 miles from heavily populated Norman.
Another unrated tornado developed near New Castle Oklahoma and remained stationary for several minutes before quickly dissipating, then the parent storm moved into Norman. The police were shut down streets and interstates while the city prepared for the worst.
NORMAN TRAFFIC
A confirmed EF1 tornado damaged west Norman. This storm would drop a couple more weak tornadoes in the Oklahoma City Metro area before transitioning into a high precipitation mess causing flooding. The Bridge Creek EF3 tornado tracked over 10 miles before stalling prior to entering a heavily populated area. Oklahoma City Metro dodged another bullet and could exhale in relief... but not for long... A new tornadic supercell would fire to the southwest and train over the previous storms path. It would enter Oklahoma City after dark and drop a destructive EF3 tornado injuring 12 people.
If I ever wanna watch cool weather videos. I go to Pecos hank
Yup same
SAME
I got a tornado warning OMG 😱😫
Lisa Agoodie where?
And that’s on period luv😗‼️😭
“Driving through an RFD is basically the worst idea ever.”

@@RazorStormInc AHHAHHHAHGAYTDAGRSFE
You know what RFD stands for? Really Fucking Dangerous
@@ProdEssJay 😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍
yes
Meeting hank would be cool but at the same time I wouldn't want to see him in my town.
"Oh look its Pecos hank the storm chaser! Wait SHIT THATS HANK THE STORM CHASER-"
HAHA MOOD
ikr
Right
It depends what he's doing. Coming in to the diner to get coffee? Cool. Driving full speed down the main road? Mayyyybe we should do the same.
@@Ealsante its a joke
Be careful, Hank, you're not invincible. Wishing you safety, my friend.
Forreal idk if you'll see these comments but be safe.
@@dressy421 are you a 2 year old?
His more modern videos seem to be safer positioning. He seems to be in less problematic spots but also it has been an off time for tornados the last couple years so hopefully that is not the reason. :)
Mother of tornado at the same time: "Be careful my little twisters. Avoid Pecos Hank's trajectory if it possible"
@@alexanderklychkov6716 Traje- Trarj- Trajectory
My sister was in this tornado. She was at a camp in Oklahoma and I was in Texas as soon as they got there a tornado watch was issued then a tornado warning. My dad was there and all of her friends and her friends dads everyone survived it almost hit there camp but missed it. They are so lucky and I am so happy to still have my dad and my sister ❤️
Glad they lived
Lady Luck loves you
^o^ im happy for u
oml
I think we drove thru a tornado last summer it pretty much got really windy looking and terrible visibility for a little while nothing happned tho
That's some exceptional footage. May Pecos Hank's reverse gear always run true.
Iain Clark haha! Cheers Lain!
6:16 jesus, it formed outta no where. Literally didnt see that coming. If that isnt straight out of a nightmare then idk what is. True horror.
True lol
High speed driving in reverse is a true art form. Nerves of steel.
Oh my god and at first I thought it was gunna stay split!! That’s horrifying
I love how you show radar and describe what different structures of the storm means. People don't realize how dangerous RFD: REAR FLANK DOWNDRAFTS ARE!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE WRAPPING BACK INTO A TORNADO ADDING FUEL TOO THE FIRE...
Grew up on Okla-Tex border [ Red river ]. I've seen a number of tornados, some closer than others. As a tornado and severe storm video junkie, I have to say Pecos Hank, your vids are as good as they get. You know what I mean when I say, may your vehicle never fail you when you need it the most!
Right on Tom!
+Pecos Hank what vehicle do you use?? regular unmodified vehicle? or something like TIV?
Pecos Hank whats the stronges tornado
Pecos Hank Some chasers seem to have quirky personalities. I guess chasing violent weather you might be different from the average person. But who wants average? You have great instincts, a steady hand, and some of the best dialogue of any videos. Couple that with your concern for animals, and your love of gas station food and it's little wonder why you are the man
A F5 tornado and it has winds over 300 mph
The Tornado appears to be humming a Scarry dark melody.
B
@John Halstead how is any of that relevant
Steven Reed Correct. Tornadoes hum a melody depending on their mode. This is about the same as humans listening to music while working out. It’s all to get the adrenaline going
A tornado destroyed like half my dad’s neighborhood when he was young and he said it sounded like a freight train
But noooowwwwww iiiiittttttssssss tttiiiiiiimmmmmmeeeee tooooooi saaaaaayyyyyy gooooodddbbbyyyyeeeee goooooodbyeeeeeee gooooooooooooooooooooodbyeeeeeeeee
"Why can't you just go northeast like you're supposed to" 😂😂😂😂
Because, I'm a tornado and I just do what I do!
Mostly looking for a trailer park.
THEY ARE FUN!!
damm
Timestamp
Because he has big ass balls
I’m so glad it didn’t. If it had I would have lost everything. There were lots of neighborhoods to the northeast
Hank: “cant you just go northeast like youre supposed to”
🌪: LOL no
Pecos: come on, car, go!!
Also Pecos: *getting out of the car*
6:22 Tornado was like "Peek-a-boo. I see you!" and turns around and comes after you.
dracothedrangonful Lol
true
dracothedrangonful it was
Omg that rhyms!
"Peek a boo."
"I see you!"
*turns around and comes for you *
heres a fact a amog us imposter is like this "Peek-a-boo I"M GOING TO GET YOU :)
"Like a cage full of snakes." Damn that's a good line
When you're trying to figure out if that's music playing or if it's the Roar of the tornado and then you slowly figure out it's music
yeah but it gives the footage so much
i'm curious how the raw footage sounds like
@@samuel3807 me too! I've never seen one in person...yet!🌪
@@steverudder3321 same but my country is safe it was very windy yesterday and i was hoping for a tornado at school
HOPING for a tornado?! Jeez my least favorite saeson is spring because i live in Oklahoma and we get about 100 tornadoes each year!
@@nobodyimportant2357 its just who i am lmao
Dude, you are one hell of a videographer. Great job.

What's your setup if you don't mind me asking?

BACKING UP...! Backing up...! Backing up.... Backing up... backing up.
Hank’s calm demeanor & linguistic creativity make him one of the best storm chasers alive today. Much love brother keep the amazing videos coming. Your content is a lot of fun for me and my 8 year old to watch together. She loves your stuff and she laughs at your commentary a lot🎉❤
You would make a great Documenterer.
simplyyayshia would? He IS a documenter
he should be a PROFESSIONAL documenter. yknow, with his own show or smth
Documentarian is the job title for those wondering
Kevlar Burrito
Thank you. Much obliged.
I would say he is already a professional documentary maker... He has way more views than most of them out there.
Love all your videos Hank. I live in south Louisiana so don't have many tornados here and I never seen one live, but I'm a bit of a junkie when it comes to tornado and lightning videos. Your calm demeanor and educational story telling commentary makes your videos unique and a pleasure to watch. Just one thing I wish I could be there to experience it live. It has to be amazingly awesome. May God always protect you and you fellow chasers. Please keep up the awesome work.
Your videos are so fascinating! Is it bad to say I want to be a storm chaser?
No, I have the same feelings man :p
Devosaurus Rex Naw, It's not bad. Thanks Rex.
i want to be one
No man. I wanna be one too .-.
Devosaurus Rex why would it be bad?
This should be shown to every school studying tornadoes. The only thing I would lay back on, is maybe the curse words. Keep up the great work!
This is the best tornado channel on TH-cam PERIOD. I am absolutely in love with you.
Not gonna lie, I'm binging this channel like crazy! I'm from Australia and we don't get tornado's like this. Absolutely fascinating!
the sound on the background?
6:28 is it the tornado? does a tornado make such a roaring sound?
+Liquicitizen Joey Yes. Most people who have been near a Tornado claim that the sound is akin to the sound a freight train makes.
Damn scary tho
Yep. They sound like trains. If you are in a cellar NO NOT cover your ears. You will go deaf.
TheWienerDogVlog You speak a unspoken truth sir
Yes My grandma went though a EF3 and she said it sounded like a freight train and roaring noise
"Don't ever drive into an RFD.."
Does that mean I can roller skate into one? XD
KatozRippla that's even worse! You'd get blown off your feet even quicker than if you walked through one because there's less traction on a rollerskate's wheels than the soles of most shoes
Yes
Caroline Johnson it was a joke no need to be serious...
@@karisavage3022 tornado's are no joke lady, people actually die, people lose everything in a few minutes, their homes destroyed, their lives ripped apart, i've witnessed the aftermath of an EF-5 strength tornado & saw people dead inside cars, crumpled up like a coke can, i've seen cats & dogs with their leashes wrapped around their broken bodies, i've seen kids & men & women broken in half & smashed to death by their own houses... It is no joke.
@@charlieharjo5268 So the notion of rollerskating through the backdraught of a tornado was all serious?
Thank you for the experiences you share with us. Be careful out there. We don't need another tragedy, like the "El Reno" one, that took the lives of well-known storm chasers.
My experience with tornadoes has been brief. I was in a hospital in Topeka, Kansas, when, in the middle of the night, all of the patients were taken into the basement of that hospital. I can still remember the fear as I sat there on the floor of a hallway in that basement. Being from California, I had never experienced a tornado before, along with seeing, the days before, "Tornado Watch" bulletins on the TV. Fortunately, the hospital was not hit, but I had heard stories about a previous time when Topeka, Kansas was not so lucky. Decades later, I experienced a TORNADO WARNING in CALIFORNIA. I am an itinerant speech/language pathologist, who usually travelled to more than one school during the work day. On one day, I left one school and I was heading towards another school. It was really strange, because I was on a road, and to my left the sky was black, and to my right the sky was blue. I had never seen such a contrast, as that, in the skies before. Then I got to Hwy. 4, and I turned to the right, heading towards my next school site. The sky behind me was black and the sky in front of me was blue. I had NO IDEA what was following me (and later, I joked about bringing the bad weather with me). I was in my room with a preschooler, who had been brought to the school to see me for therapy, when I saw a "stream" of students going past my door. They were all heading for the cafeteria, because a tornado was seen coming towards the school. The preschool child and I joined them. School was just about to be dismissed, but the principal and secretary were in the office calling all of the parents to tell them to stay away. (This is a little country school, ten miles from the nearest town, so parents frequently take their children to and from this school, even though bus service is available to all students.) We were sitting in that cafeteria waiting a long time for the warning to be lifted. That was an extremely unusual thing to have happen in California. I recalled that Topeka, Kansas, experience as I sat there waiting for us to be out of danger. (Btw, we were not hit by it.)
Dude you videos are great! You deserve way more subs! But anyways keep up the great work!
+James Stewart ikr
This video was awesome. Your videos are the best I have seen on tornadoes so far, and I specially appreciate that you add radar images and maps, and so much information. The images you capture are very impressive. I have watched so many of your videos today, sick at home with a fever, that I think I'm bound to have dreams about tornadoes tonight (lol! I hope so!). Thanks for sharing all this material.
+Andrea Soilander Happy holidays Andrea!
Pecos Hank Thank you! Happy holidays to you too!
At 2:42 in the video, the reason the footage slowed down was to take A view of A street vendor sellin' umbrellas for ten bucks.
3:32 IS THAT DOROTHY I CAN HERE!?!?
Haha that really does sound like it!
Thank you Pecos Hank this video gives me a good idea what to look for and what a supercell might look like. I live in Texas, Rowlett specifically, and I know what one sounds like, but this video gives good visuals. And thanks for being calm and professional. Your camera work is great!
Amazingly calm voice with Kaos all around. Pecos Hank also has a great camera/video instinct with alot of patience.
Hank,
You have one of the best if not the best chasing channels on TH-cam.
I don’t just say this to be flattering.
I truly mean it. When I’m watching your videos you speak calmly, succinctly. No bullshid, no glossing Over anything.
Just the correct information for that moment.
Every other channel has people videoing but they also ruin their own videos by constantly saying OMG, Uhh, Ohh, OhhhhMYGod, cursing like sailors and other weird sounds that aren’t needed. You are professional and a loving human being. You are the best of us all.
I got tense watching the part where you were stalking the tornado, I rarely ever get tense over things like this. But this was honestly something different. This was as real as if I was there with you. I've been binge watching your vids for about 3 days now, and you're one of the most professional storm chasers I have ever seen!
you know... tornadoes are one of those things that are terrifying, but beautiful at the same time
Incredible video!!! 🌪
1:40
Well, that’s a scary thought
This is the reason SpongeBob went so fast to take out the trash
i’m always ripping dabs while watching these videos and get so high i don’t remember what happened when i watch again
Around the 5:07 time mark, that Tornado looks like a jumper. Kinda like what I saw in the movie Twister (1996). It was the Tornado that they went after, after they'd stopped at Aunt Meg's house for lunch. That thing was so unpredictable! It'd develop, touch down and start dancing around all over the place, then retreat back up into the Wall Cloud Structure. It had no clear, definitive path...and the two main characters were lucky that it didn't drop straight down on their heads, and kill them!
Amazing! Missed your tornado videos!
Your videos make Storm Chasers, look like a stroll in the park! Dude! My blood-pressure is off the charts!
I watch many of these chaser videos. Some are bad, some decent enough, some are really good. Only Pecos Hank is outstanding...by far the best!
Just found this channel, and all I can say is new subscriber. Your camera skills, and commentary are top notch. Excellent material, take care and stay as safe as possible.
I have never had a favorite storm chaser till now! No stupid screaming, and an appreciation for the majestiv=cness of the storm.
you guys help me learn about all this and it keeps me going in what I want to do for a job as a weather woman
I’m petrified of tornadoes I get nightmares like everyday about them yet I love watching these kinds of videos
This is like a horror film. I would watch something like this in theaters if I could
What beautiful footage and excellent dialogue, it keeps me on the edge of my seat.
I want to be a meteorologist when I grow up, you are so helpful! 😊😊
6:46 why can't you just go were you are supposed to...
Either you edit it out, or you are much safer and calmer than some of the other chasers. I always come back to your channel
Gives me Chills
Can't imagine what's it's like in person 😬
like always love the music :)
Can't wait for the follow up video, like always amazing !!
Rudy T. Thanks Rudy. I just added the link on the "watch" tag.
Thanks Hank, will get to it :)
+Pecos Hank when was this
Bryce Bolt May 6, 2015.
I lived in Oklahoma in 1980 to 1982 working wireline logging and perforating in the oil industry. On several occasions I sat in a big truck and watched similar storm activity. On one occasion in the shop a fellow worker had a stack of 8 tracks on the window sill. The window was open when a storm hit and those 8 tracks flew off that window sill like playing cards from a deck.
My uncle missed this tornado by only a block away. He had a really good sheltered tornado, but at the time he could feel the pull of it pulling him towards it.
at 4:00 I love green street lights
Mercury Vapor Light is my favorite as well
Pecos Hank, you have the best tornado videos. I love watching them. Keep up the great work and please stay safe. You're the best.
My great grandma was in a tornado one time and she didn’t know anything about it, she was in her kitchen cooking food while seconds later the tornado hit her house head on the tornado went right over her head and lifted her off the ground about a minute later the tornado put her back on the ground and the hole roof of the house was gone and some of the walls she had a bible and a cross that never even got scratched and on top of that cross was the pan that she was cooking with that was never damaged either. This just proves God always watches over us❤️
This video is creepy as hell
love the ominous music-sounds that the tornado makes when you're closeby
The power of mother nature unleashes a serious tornado my God hell powerful this thing is
This stuff is art and history combined 👌🏼
My soul delights in this channel!!!
great job on the subtle "spooky" music-soundscape!
05:52 Just one more hill. And another.. And...
The first week i watched pecos hank, would listen while i did schoolwork. The sunday of that week a sudden tornado smacked doen right next to my church. I had slight peace of mind because of God, and Pecos hanks lessons 👌🏻😂
This man said funnels were riding in its curtains like a cage full of snake's!
THATS GOLDEN
The things you go through to get a shot is awesome!!! Love the spirit and the tornadoes!! How do you get such amazing shots?!?!? Is it intuition or some kind of freaky tornado ESP?
Ooo, look at that! Be careful this year, there's already been a tornado that hit the South last December. I can't remember where but it was big and a killer.
We don't get tornadoes here in Australia, we do get cyclones in the N.T Q.L.D but not in Victoria, this is absolutely Horrifying, the poor Animals and people. The shear force of nature is Beautiful yet terrifying at the same time. I just wonder if living in these tornadoe areas if it's compulsory you have a basement shelter? I'm addicted to this channel now. I feel so sorry for all those affected by these events. Be careful guy's scary stuff. 🇦🇺🇺🇸🌪😢
God I hate those tornadoes that come after dark. I’ve almost had my house hit by a couple of those and that’s the reason I’m afraid of night storms now.
Hi Jane, God will guild and protect us all from the tribulations. Hope you are doing okay? ❤️🌹🥰 I’m Eric, live in Texas
My mom and brother almost did this. They were driving through a band of rain during a tornado warning. If they hadn’t stopped for gas they would’ve driven right into it. Granted it was only and EF 0 but still scary.
I love how the guy expresses the way of the tornados like “a cage with something snakes In it.”
I hope that everyone in the path if the tornado is ok and I love tornadoes videos
For your next birthday, you should ask for a medium weight electric chain saw for those tree-blocked roads.
Also, does a tornado add speed when the funnel actually touches down?
So the RFD is what my wife, 2 girls and I experienced racing a squall line in GA last year. Went from Waynesboro to Albany, had to continuously rush due south and even east, trying to avoid rotating storms within the squall line pushing east. Warnings everywhere from Dublin to Macon to rural areas along our path. Warnings died down around Fitzgerald so I cut West to bust through the line and gunned it. Just west of Fitzgerald, we had a warning pop up on our phones and instantly started getting blasted by debris and clay colored rain moving horizontally. About 1/8 mile to our southeast, I could see a funnel where all the debris and rain was being sucked into. I have done a lot of amateur research on tornadoes, I knew water being pulled from the ground and debris moving horizontally meant we were in a bad spot and close. Tahoe was being pushed across the road as well. Didnt last but about a minute and we hit "normal rainfall." I hate trying to pattern rotating storms and tracks in squall lines here in the Southeast. Add in a bunch of trees, it's a nightmare to try and spot them before you're too close.
6:40 That wail is haunting.
The music is haunting and perfect.
Hey Sr I’m a really fan of your videos I always enjoy how you describe everything that’s why I was wondering if you could upload a full video of the last tornado which enter Oklahoma City at night, that one looks particularly interesting since it seemed like multiple tornadoes were trying to touch down which makes me thinks it was a storm similar ti the one in Iowa a few days after this one, in which you said there were tornadoes everywhere! I’m really curious about those storms!
Awesome up here in northern Minnesota we don’t see weather like this often
Pecos, what ominous sound effects did you use when the tension started to build? It's freaky good!
I love the tornado music playing in the background
Our home was destroyed when I was 10. North little rock Arkansas
It has taken me years to get to the point where I can breathe during a storm.
Bro this was 7 years ago that’s crazy, I’ve been waging sence like 2017
"Oklahoma, where the wind comes rushing down the plain." Pure Adrenalin.
You’re my favorite channel! Informative and intriguing. So glad I stumbled upon this channel 🌪🌈
How the hell do you do this? It's terrifying!!!!
God will guild and protect us all from the tribulations. Hope you are doing okay? ❤️🌹🥰 I’m Eric, live in Texas
One thing some don’t mention is how awesome this video is with the music 🎶, youre so gifted dude. Plus there aren’t squawking passengers to distract you and the mood you set in these videos.
Ima Cat 🐱 on nip ✨
"...funnel clouds behind the curtain writhing like a cage full of snakes". Love it!
You know, it used to be a joke when I did not live near Moore that anytime there was a tornado it always seemed to be in Moore. Now that I live very VERY close to Moore, it's kind of scary
Tornados are so mesmerizing to look at but yet so deadly
Yhe sound of the rain walls on the windshield is oddly satisfying
No one: drives into tornado
Hank: Kiddie land!
I drove through a tornado before. It was scary and fun at the same time. I had no where to go on the high way and didn't see it coming. I saw the rain going in circles all around me while I my car felt like riding the boss from Six flags. I was like OMG, Lord you don't have to show how powerful you are, I believe you. get me out of this. But on the other hand, I was like, hell yes. The worst time not to have your cell phone. I finally made it to Drury INN, Almost lost my car door and few off.
I love how you hunt these things like they are giant monsters.
That was some intense footage Hank!
I have LOTS of tornado dreams.. I’m hoping this fuels another one for me tonight!
