CYCLONIC AND ANTICYCLONIC MEANING:
98 percent or more of the world’s tornadoes rotate the same direction as Earth. When atmospheric motion rotates the same direction as the planet,
we refer to the rotation as being cyclonic. Thats counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere but clockwise in the southern hemisphere. Thus, these typical tornadoes are referred to as being cyclonic. But Every now and then a tornado spins the other way. We refer to these deviant tornadoes as anticyclonic.
ANTICYCLONIC TORNADOES:
Most of the anticyclonic tornadoes I’ve observed were companions of a cyclonic tornado or rotation in a supercell. These rare tornadoes are often not anticipated and can sneak up on observers fixated on the more business end of the storm. Some anticyclonic tornadoes develop as smaller satellites orbiting around a parent tornado. Sometimes they manifest as landspouts in non-supercellular storms. Most of the cases I’ve observed developed in a predictable region of a right-moving supercell. But because of their infrequency, even trained observers may not anticipate these anticyclonic threats and thus may get caught off guard. In most cases the anticyclone threat is small, but not always. Recognizing the cloud patterns in this video may help a spotter anticipate anticyclonic tornado development.
SIMLA COLORADO ANTICYCLONIC TORNADOES:
On June 5, 2015, Dr Anton Seimon & Dr. Tracie Seimon documented an extremely photogenic family of tornadoes near Simla Colorado, several of which were strongly anticyclonic. A huge thanks goes out to Anton and Tracie for allowing me to showcase their never-before-seen, beautiful captures.
STRONGEST ANTICYCLONIC TORNADO:
Several anticyclonic F3’s have been documented on the original Fujita scale and on April 4, 1981, shortly after midnight, A violet anticyclonic tornado terrorized West Bend, Wisconsin. It injuring 53 people and ended the lives of three. This rare nightmare would earn an F4 rating. The most powerful anticyclonic tornado ever recorded.

Thanks again Joel Ewing for returning the dog to its home.
That Joel Ewing should be honored with the Nobel Prize for /animal / humanitarian kindness...blah blah blah ha ha just kidding! Hey Hank, this is Joel Ewing! Geez....thanks much for putting my little cameo appearance in your vid....I had no idea! Yeah, that poor pup...this finally had a happy ending, but very literally the in-vehicle distraction he initiated almost caused us (trusty storm chase partner / cousin Doren Berge) and I to get killed when that BIG, long lived tornado that wasn't shown in this vid that was following us in this video (I had forgotten it was behind us) caused our vehicle to begin bouncing wildly up and down and back and forth sideways from it's violent inflow (dude....it was SO close for real) At this point we truly could not see the road in front of us to drive, and that big tornado just kept creeping up closer and closer to us. The hail and heavy precip had gotten the best of me, and I had to poke along with the driver's door open in pouring precip and insanely fast pitched big hail to try to keep us on the muddy road by watching the ditches on the road's sides. We thought we were goners.....it's the closest I have come to death by chasing in 35 plus years of doing this. That little mutt stray dog had initially come up to us whimpering and crying with abject fright. He was soaked, cold and the hail terrified him. I never saw him, but began feeling something groveling on top of my feet, and by instinct as a dog guy myself, I scooped the muddy little dude up without a thought and tossed him into my driver's seat. When we stopped filming the anti-cyclonic tornadoes, we went from farm house to farm house....nobody knew this dog at all. FINALLY....a long distance from where we scooped him up....we found the frantic farm owner who owned this pup and a happy ending was had by all. I DID give that farmer a gentle little scolding for NOT having a collar on his pup, and I meant it. My poor chase partner Doren just holds his breath now any time we happen to drive by any critter that looks like a stray animal as we blast around the alley. We've picked them up in Texas, Nebraska and other locales before, and have had happy endings each time, thank God. Hank...Anton....I KNOW you guys would do the same for any poor, stray animal....I just happened to beat you two to the puppy-grab this time! Thanks for putting me in your vid, Hank. I'm honored. joel ewing / tucson
Hey Joel, Dr. Tracie and Dr. Anton made sharing a slice of your story possible. Thanks for sharing more of your account here. Glad you guys and the pup survived. I was across the border in Kansas this day. Every report that trickled in from Simla made my stomach knot and added insult to injury, the Simla anvil overspread my target, killing my storm. See you under the meso soon!
I was glad to see the pup heroics!
Absolutely amazing. Chasing atits finest 🤌
DAMN YOU TALK YOU MUCH
@@PecosHank what happend to your cousin.!?
"Every now and then, a burrito spins the wrong way." Thank you auto-generated captions, I haven't laughed that hard in months.
Turned subs on to catch that. That was pretty funny.
"We refer to these deviant burritos as anticyclonic" 😂
ya i noticed that too , caught me off guard lol
I could use a deviant burrito right about now. With some hot sauce, and a soda. Yeah, that should take the edge off.
If you can get your stomach to generate a counterspin to counteract the burrito spin direction, then you might not end up having to go to the toilet 🚽 afterwards 😉
Because of Hank, I've discovered a genuine passion in severe weather, and am looking into studying it in college. Thanks for everything!
@Lotus oh god the bots are here now too
Awesome, I hope you enjoy it
Definitely brush up on your math skills, you'd have lots of courses requiring them! Good luck!
Still ways away from college, but I'm definitely going somewhere down that path of meteorology. All of it is so fascinating!
@@lime1602 same here man. i’ve loved weather since i was a kid and i still love it to this day.
Pecos Hank, 4 years ago I commented on your best tornadoes of 2016 video asking you what I should name my very first Ball Python. You told me that it if was a boy that I should name it Hank, and he was indeed a boy. To this day my ball python Hank is doing well and I still get super excited when you drop a new video. Thank you, and happy trails.
Pecos Hank doesn't seem to be interested in your Balls or your Python 😐
Ndndndjj❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

@@robertpapichNAH💀💀💀
It’s so cool how the tornado just switched colors so fast because it kicked up all that dirt. That was mesmerizing to see ✨
I honestly rewatched that part about 7 times myself, so amazing
It's like a metaphor for the demographic trends in the US
@@TapOnX Why did you feel the need to say that?
@TapOnX what blud waffling about
Hank: “Cyclonic, Anticyclonic, Mesocyclone, RFD Surge, Supercell, etc.”
Also Hank: “Swirlies.”
Shows that hanks a real person too!
Isn’t a swirly when you stick someone’s head in the toilet while flushing it at the same time? 😆
@@charlielucas3386 yeah it is
Well, they do sometimes say one of the safest areas of your home-- other than a storm shelter-- is the bathroom, or so I have heard. Still, an F3 swirlie can't be too much fun.
If I were to write "Hank uses the scientific terms Cyclonic, Anticyclonic, Mesocyclone, RFD Surge, Supercell, etc and also sometimes calls them Swirlies", it would get zero likes.
The perfect blend of visual awe and scientific fact is back once again!
…and music, don’t forget the cool music he shares!
@@josephwirtz8352 always the music!
@@TerrificRallyMaestro ... just about to add about the music. Isn't the planet flat again now though? Sure I read that somewhere.
I can't agree more;
Hank has long since mastered the art of being authoritative without being pedantic, and never mind how his music never
competes with his storytelling.
Couldn't say it better myself
I'm absolutely obsessed with meteorology, but I'm definitely fearful of tornadoes. Watching your videos has the same feeling to me as watching a scary movie!
Spring of '91 Andover KS- we noticed a strong storm coming in, my parents were roofing the house that day and only had ½ of the roof on when the sirens started to cry, my dad had a first hand look at the funnel cloud forming to the west as he was hurrying to tarp the roof. He yelled for all of us to get into the closet and mom to open the windows in the house (at that time we thought that would equalize the pressure in the house) My dad grabbed the matress off of my bed and we huddled in the hall closet under it. We heard what I could only describe as the loudest wind I've ever heard, so loud it sounded like a freight train!
We emerged from the closet thankfully safe, and with only vehicle and sidding damage! That tornado claimed the lives of 21 people and was an EF5!
I know I’m late to the party, but that sounds horrifying. I’m glad y’all were all safe and with so little damage to your home! I remember being about 7 or so years old growing up in Arkansas, and there was a night that we had to make a run for the storm shelter. There was a tornado in the field behind my grandparents’ house with golf ball sized hail. We had to run in the direction of the ‘nader to get to the storm shelter, and as a small child, running TOWARDS it was traumatizing for me. I know when I’m under a lot of stress in my adult life when I start having nightmares about tornadoes. I can’t imagine experiencing something like what you went through!
Face your fears! 😅
Oh I just read your whole comment, you kind of did. 🙏
I don’t know if you were chasing a few nights ago in the mid west. But I hope you are safe. That was an incredibly scary outbreak.
It absolutely was, I lived about 4 ish miles away from Bremen, KY. Saw the tornado that hurt all those people. I have a video but it's super shitty and can hardly see it.
@@Me-gy7cp Ah, I hope the everyone you know and the communities impacted are safe.
My house got hit directly, everyone survived but we weren't able to grab my two cats in time. We found one alive but the other is missing.
It didnt affect WI or MN did it?
@@twastheyearof1997 Damn.. :(
As soon as I saw the post I had to click I’ve wanted to chase tornadoes since I was 4 and haven’t chased but ended up getting blindsided by a very weak tornado on a road trip last year and that got me even more hooked
Was it shaking its hips?
A tornado touched down about 5 and a half miles from me last Tuesday. Really cool, but also scary, birthday.
I have also always wanted to chase for forever
Never wanted to storm chase before but last year i slept through the iowa derecho and woke up to 2 days of no power and swore i would stay awake to see the next one. Been obsessed with weather ever since
Same I want to be a meteorologist
I think we all can agree everyone’s day lights up when we see a pecos hank upload
True
For Real
Absolutely
🇾 🇪 🇸
Oh absolutely
Hank! I’m not sure what area you’re exactly in but I hope you’re alright after yesterdays storms. Thinking of you and all the people affected by this record breaking event.
He has posted on twitter as of yesterday with a disaster relief link for the Kentucky Tornadoes.
Pretty sure he's in Houston Texas

Hank I’ve been watching you for years now and you’re almost at 1,000,000 followers it’s almost like watching a kid grow up even though I’m 13 and don’t know what it feels like. Just know I’m thankful for all you taught your followers and me about weather.
As a meteorologist who teaches others about weather daily, today I got the privilege of learning from you :)
I just want to say your humble comment made my day and is a mark of great character. May you be blessed in all you do!
@@dougmcguire3159 You too sir!
😭😭😭
he is totally awesome
Where do you predict weather?
Fascinating! I did not know about anticyclonic tornadoes until now. Great footage too. That dusty brown tornado really was beautiful.
@Kristin That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Philip Hutchinson
@Tammy Beverly Yeah,I met Philip Hutchinson last year for the first time at a conference in New York City, I invested €24,000 and traded in one month making close to €200,000.

@Nicole Judy Yeah some people have that as an excuse,Why not trade with Expert Mr Philip Hutchinson trading platform? I can say they're the most reliable broker I've ever seen
kinda worried about you after the recent storms/disasters. they were awful. please let us know you're okay hank !!
He posted on his Twitter 5 days ago
I came here to make sure he was okay
My home State of KY was just hit with possibly the worst Tornado in the States History. Several towns are completely destroyed. Weather Service is saying the Tornado was on the ground for at least 200 miles. Mayfield,Ky and Dawson's Springs are two of the worst hit. Over 7p deaths reported so far. Absolutely horrible. Especially this time of year
I’ve learned more on this channel than I ever would in school. Thank you Hank!
I think they should teach this in schools where tornadoes happen
@@harmonymartinez2954 Agreed! Would 100% raise awareness
fr hahahaha
@@harmonymartinez2954 Tell me about it...
Hank never fails to provide new, intriguing information on weather and tornadoes. With his camerawork, editing, and genuine love for his audience, hank is undisputedly the best person on youtube.
And his music is pretty lit also.
Yeah, but is he chasing anymore? His uploads are few and far between these days...
@@stillnotwoke I think he puts up a lot more on Patreon.
Him and Anton Petrov in my opinion, can't get enough o being called a wondeful person
Turn on the captions instead of tornado it says burrito lol
Hoping you covered the Kentucky incident. Would love to see your break down of the whole event
Same
Yeah, also the one near where I live. It was about 30 minutes away. Luckily it didn’t come near us. It went north but a different way north.
Yes sir Cody. The tornado was less then 10 miles from me.. mayfield and many other parts of my state got hit bad
He should talk about it in the tornadoes of the year video.
It wasn’t even 20 mins away from where I live and we didn’t even get a warning that’s the crazy thing to me, all those people lost their homes and some their lives and I was watching tv and eating junk food
I wonder if you were able to cover the ef4 maybe even 5 that demolished the town of mayfield Kentucky very close to my home
Hank's music really adds to the creepy-but-beautiful nature of these videos.
The overall aesthetic of his videos is top notch.
@@SssshirazzzZ I've wanted Netflix to pick him up for so long. Imagine hank with a huge budget to make a yearly storm movie. Showcasing his friends works as well and they'd be getting paid from the features, people would really want to share things.
@@fluG4M3 My only fear is they would want something more Tim Reed like and less chill. Hank's persona and demeanor really helps the videos imo.
I would to see him (and others) get a a healthy yearly storm chasing budget though.
@@Mr___f yeah I honestly wouldn't want anything to change except the production value. Granted it's amazing as it is and hard to think of anything better. I think it'd help his music too. But I see what you're saying, Netflix would definitely change too many things and it wouldn't necessarily be a Pecos hank video anymore. End of the day you're probably right.
You may enjoy this @Ben. Listen to the whole soundtrack if you wish :) th-cam.com/video/nBduHE6sDkc/w-d-xo.html (Not rickroll)
The legend himself has bestowed upon us another masterpiece
yep yep he has
Yeah, but is he chasing anymore? Maybe he's playing too much guitar or into more teaching now... 🙃
Very true
Praying hard for all the people touch by the violent tornados in Kentucky, Ilinois, and Arkansas, may rest in peace for the 83 victimes who lost their life and their families.
Please tell me you got those tornados in Kentucky
I live close to mayfield and my neighborhood is almost absolutely devastated. My house is the most intact in the neighborhood. It’s insane
@@evansaccount1548 damn bro, praying for y’all 🙏🏽
I was just about to ask myself, word for word
@@thomas435able thanks, we are cooking food for the first responders at my dads cafe
1:24 knocked me out so bad just as i was thinking about how annoying it must be for vehicles to get in the shot he came back to apologize
Bahaha
I love the dry ice visual representation! Very cool and fun way to learn about tornado rotation.
That really was super cool.
I want to try it at my next party
@@christinamann3640 Exactly! Looks like an awesome thing to do with some friends at a party.
@@joeshmoe9978 Ha! Literally (since it’s dry ice)! … sorry lmao.
I know, that was really interesting to watch
That one at 5:15 was absolutely beautiful! The way the dust allowed us to see it so defined!
Maybe hank can make a video about the one that hit Kentucky and other states it was pretty bad at least 50 dead
*Czech viewer's perspective and story:*
I've been following your channel for a couple of years as I've always been fascinated by tornadoes. I never considered them a real danger in my country (in the middle of Europe), tornadoes were "the big ones happen only in America" kind of a thing, but I always took interest in your videos explaining how they form, the structure of storms, accompanying weather phenomena etc. I live and work in Prague, but my family lives in the region of South Moravia, Hodonin district. This summer we'd had some severe thunderstorms. On the 24th ofJune I was looking at an online rain forecast, planning my evening activities. The radar showed a huge incoming complex of strong storms spanning across our whole country. I told to myself "damn, this looks nasty", because they looked like real supercells and a thought "if I'd live in the US, I would be afraid that there could be a tornado" actually did cross my mind. That evening, I called my mum, to chat about how my family was doing. My mum told me that a huge storm was coming. That the air "felt weird", that she had never experienced anything like that before a storm. They have also seen some "strange clouds" and she described mammatus clouds to me. I could hear thunder rumbling over the phone. Then I heard my father come over to my mum and tell her with a grave voice that a strong tornado had just completely levelled a nearby village to the ground. My father is a retired firefighter, so he got the news immediately, probably when the tornado was still on the ground. It reached the strength of EF4, destroyed 5 villages and killed 6 people, its path was 26 kilometres long and at some stages it reached a width of 500 metres. It stopped 15 km from the village where my family lives. If you'd climb the hill behind our house, you could actually see it. Some of my father's former coworkers lost their homes or were injured. Most of the people had no clue what was coming, because no one thought such a strong tornado could happen in our country. We don't have any tornado warning system, no tornado shelters. So you can find some crazy footage on youtube from people who shot "a strong storm" on their phones from their balconies, not knowing they are staring at an EF4 tornado coming right at them, not knowing that they should hide... I can tell you, expecting a storm won't ever be the same here!
Thank you for your great content, Hank! I told my family everything I could about possible warning signs and what to do if they see them. Since then, they've actually felt the weird air once more before a strong storm and thought they'd seen a rotating wall cloud forming.... well, we hope South Moravia won't become a European tornado alley, but one can never know.
Holy shit, that sounds terrifying! Minnesotan here, I've always been afraid of tornados since I was a child. Very interesting to hear your perspective on the other side of the world.
How terrifying! I'm glad you and your family are okay. Love from England.
Yes, I live in Czech Republic too, and knowing there was a tornado in my country like 50 km from me was terrifying... When i saw the first images right after the tornado I was like "holy s*it this can't be in Czech Republic, this must be somethink from the USA"
Storms in this summer were crazy, hope it doesn't happen again..
(Sorry for mistakes, my english is not very good)
Blessings to you family, and many thanks for their safety!
It is always wise to listen to your senses when "something does not feel right."
The Czech tornado was absolutely scary to see. I don't think anyone expected to see that here in the middle of Europe.
Pozdrowienia z Polski!
Really gutted to hear about all those people 50+ in Kentucky, who have lost their lives in a tornado 10.12.21. Scary stuff😞
100% Some of the best, wholesome content on TH-cam. Thank you for being you, Hank.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that this is the best channel on TH-cam where we can actually enjoy severe Weather.....💙
I can. So glad I stumbled over him just a month ago
Having studied fluid mechanics, the massive real world phenomena of tornadoes is so cool! It never occurred to me that anticyclonic tornadoes existed but it makes so much sense now that I see it! Keep up the good work and be safe!
I wonder if a tornado has ever been spotted right on the equator, and in which rotational direction?
@@chriskennedy2846 Of course, and the rotational direction is everywhere random so to say. I mean, in the USA the wind from the gulf and the second from West have mostly the same angle, so the tornado has mostly the same rotation direction. But in Europe as an ecample, the could twist right or left. Its not like Hurricans, they dont exist on the equator and have always the the same direction.
In reallity, anticyclone is something completely different. The red spot (or how it calles in english) on jupiter is an anticlone. Hurricanes or Tyfoons are cyclones, in its center is low air pressure, in the center of an anticyclone is a highly pressure area (on earth anticlones are not really impressive)
We’re you there in Kentucky? Cuz that might’ve been one of the worst storms in history
You should make a video about the tornado out break today
As a truck driver your channel has definitely helped me understand tornadoes alot more and what to look out for when I'm out here on the open roads 💯
It's good that it's helping to keep you safe!
I have seen so many videos of unsuspecting truck drivers heading directly into the path of tornadoes, anything that helps educate them is a good thing!
@@timnewman1172 I had a close encounter with a tornado situation last week. It was night time though so I couldn't see or hear anything. I just had wind patterns and radar to go off of along with warnings going to my phone. The best thing I did though was keep moving because I thought about stopping but if I did according to the NWS alerts I would've been directly in the path it was moving
I’ve always wondered what do truck drivers do when a tornado is in their vicinity? You cannot just turn around easily and go in a different direction. Do you just hope for the best? Damn frightening.
@@josephj6521 at least now when the weather band goes off. They'll tell you approximately where the tornado should cross the highway. When I started driving they didn't. I've been close to several tornadoes. Most all of them at night. On was in St Joseph MO. Mid 2000s on a Friday afternoon. sky went Yellow no rain I had just gotten to the truck yard pretriped and left. Got to the Truckstop ati35 and us 36. My fuel stop. The fuel attendant came running out said a tornado had skipped across the Ryder shop that was my terminal. ripped a roof off a bar across the street and knocked a house off it's foundation. The went back up.
Hank is slowwwly becoming one of the more important science communicators out there. The reason being, this stuff is right on the very cutting edge of atmospheric research…what’s more important than our atmosphere when it comes to survival? Not much, when you REALLY think about it. On top of that, he’s got a knack for breaking this stuff down for a general audience.
When I first got into this stuff as a kid back in the 90s, we knew almost none of what you hear nowadays on extreme weather channels. We heard about converging air masses, updrafts and little more. The wealth of data that’s been shared in the last 20 years is almost mind boggling…
i like cheese
Hanks' vids are among the best. Skip Talbot has made some good vids, particularly about El Reno and storm chasing safety tips.
Will there be a video on the recent tornado outbreak and Kentucky tornadoes?
I hope you have some info on the devastating tornadoes in KY last night, could be 100 plus fatalities
Hank, I hope you know I'm going to be pursuing a career in meteorology, and you've been a big reason for that. Both my best friend and I love your content so much
Man, I remember having an irrationally high level of stress related to tornados when I was a kid. Though, since I was, and still am, in an area where it rarely ever occurs, it seems a bit silly now. Basically on the same level as the concern about quicksand and acid rain I got from movies.
Thankfully it has developed into a deep fascination for these wind devils. It's a shame I don't see these in survival/open world games enough.
I do know that gmod has some tornado chasing maps and addons.
The maps arent massive, and it can get a bit boring, but when I played on the maps I had some fun
Me too, I remember I would come back home from school for lunch and be totally fascinated watching Storm Chasers.
I now have such an intense desire to see one for myself, and also to experience the adventure of the 'States and the wide open plains.
Ofc I want to study metorology at least casually before I round up some money and take a stab at it.
Lol same I used to be terrified of them. I live in a part of the US where tornadoes almost never happen but I was somehow convinced I’d get hit with one any time a storm popped up
This has left me wondering if there are any storm chasing games and turns out there are currently two in development:
Storm Chasers (on Steam)
OUTBRK (also on Steam)
I didn't have a fear of tornadoes. But I'm interested in them to the point where a talking tornado followed me around the city without doing any damage. In a dream.
hey there!! i’m obsessed with your vids but did you get any shots of the kentucky tornado today? it would be so much more insightful than the 2 videos shown on the news..
i pray for those who lost their lives on this day…
Any chance of you covering the tornadoes that ripped through Kentucky these past few days? It was crazy.
I'm Joel Ewing's chase partner. I remember that day well.. we have nearly identical footage of the full event. And that damn dog nearly got us killed!.. The owner was quite happy when we returned him safely home so it was worth it for the chase karma. What a day... Another great video. Love your channel.
Thank you. For the dog
I'm watching all these because we had a warning and some stuff go on rain spin light hail dog baking at the sky in circles
And ours looks exactly like when it started. I live in a valley down a hill near foot hills. You could hear the sirens but it wasn't scary until the rain was spinning
But yeah the dog was out so 4 houses ignored it to try and get her home till it got bad then it was just me and the owner but I'm on the opposite direction where it was blowing and it hit me so hard
AMAZING work, Hank, and the Drs. Seimon! RFD intensity and atmospheric volatility will continue to produce greater, more powerful companion storms and resultant multi-vortex disasters. Thank you, all in the stormchasing and research community for the incredible work you do! It will become critical to survival in the very near future.
Hank I hope you covered the Mayfield, Kentucky tornado that happened recently. The damage that thing caused man..
Hank… I can’t believe you’re at 2.6M views on this video already. I anxiously wait for you to post and have been watching your videos for a long time now. Your work is superb and it’s nice to see you do so well on this video. Love you mane.
Post4meeeeeeeeeeeeeee pl0x
I am a 43 year old father. i have always been fascinated with severe weather. I always want to chase storms like Hank does. And now after watching Hanks channel my 11 year old daughter getting interested and passionate like i was in my youth. Maybe she will start chasing or go to school for meteorology. Thank You Hank!!!!
From a first responder that has been involved in the aftermath of tornadoes, please don’t start chasing tornadoes. The last thing we need is more people getting in the way and blocking roads. There is enough to do when strong storms and tornadoes hit, we don’t need any more potential victims to rescue. With TH-cam, we see so many more amateur storm chasers out there, leave it to the scientist.
@@mopar_dude9227 yea I’ll be going to school for it 😂
Pecos my man, you are a different breed of natural hunger for the unknown and the knowledge you have/obtain so you can apply this amazing gift in the form of a TH-cam video is even more amazing. Thank you! You keep making them and I'll keep coming to watch em!
A different bread, eh?
@@diamondsinsight 😂😄😁 I meant "breed" not bread like what you eat with a sandwich. Lol good catch
@@kingofhisworld1 dont worry i got your back
Plz make a vid about tornados in December
Please post soon!! All these tornados yesterday made me start rewatching your videos again. I'm sure I've seen each one 2-3 times at this point....help! XD
Is crazy I can watch your videos like im watching a movie easily
Damn, 2 Legends in one place 🙏
🐥
No cap! Crazy I ain’t the only Valorant player interested in this shit
I kept wondering why all the tornadoes picked up the same object in the same place...then I realized there was something on my screen.
i always find fps players on severe weather videos
Pecos Hank has fantastic sound design in his vids. I just love how he combines those gloomy guitar chords with the scary dark clouds, sending shivers down the spine. And even the timing of the lighter, mysterious chords whenever they were whirling up vortices in the dry ice vapor.
I love it as well. Reminds me of this artist. th-cam.com/video/nBduHE6sDkc/w-d-xo.html I promise you'll enjoy.
Yeah, made the hair on my arse stand up.
@@TristanVash38 Thanks for the tip! You were correct!
I can’t wait for your insight on the recent Kentucky tornados!
Last night there were 7 powerful tornado in usa
Always very happy when I get an upload notification from your channel! Thanks for the great video Hank!
Subtitles: "We refer to these deviant burritos, as anticyclonic"
Me: Ooooooh it’s burritos not tornadoes. Got it.
Better watch out 😂👌
"Deviant Burritos" needs to be a band name.
We have lived in FL for 40 years my son was born in 88 we were talking weather the other day and he said his top 2 things to do before he dies is to experience the eye and eye wall of a cat 5 hurricane and to chase tornadoes in the mid west with Pecos Hank. His hero until he retired from the hurricane center was Dr Bob Sheets. He's been a weather nut since he was 4, and dreamed of being a weatherman. He wanted to chase with Reed Timmer but he's not chil enough lol
Apparently 2021 season hasn’t ended yet considering what just happened across 6 states. Bizarre. Not only are night Tornados rare but this late in the season? 🌪
I always feel bad for all the wandering animals and pets who can sense the impending destruction coming but don't know where to go
Same
same it’s so sad :(
@@Clums_xx what are you wearing make from state farm?
A lot of times I can't find my cats before a bad storm. I'm worried that they'll get lost one day doing that :/
Well, Dan now has documentation to point at when CBP at the airport ask what his empoyment is:
"I'm a certified vapor-nado technician."
Was glad to see his Rav4 started right up for the current season.
You chase the Kentucky tornados?
I'm extremely surprised that you completely missed the Kentucky tornado on 12/10/2021. Such terrible devastation.
Hank’s weather videos transcend into art, he’s like the David Attenborough of supercells.
Hank is the embodiment of the "dads during a tornado" meme.
Hey hank have you heard of the outbreak tornado that happened at night time in December 11 2021
I dont know how else to communicate with you. Want to know if you are okay over last nighta tornados. Since you travel Im worried and want to know if you are okay :(
Literally nobody
Captions: "But every now and then a burrito spins the wrong way"
I almost spat out my water lmao
it called them a burrito a couple of times, im tempted to start calling them wind burritos now, or maybe debris burritos/debritos
@@christianlink4433 DEBRITOS OMG lmao
Pecos Hank does that sort of thing with his captions frequently. The primary purpose is to avoid triggering the algorithm for "violent content" IIRC, but it also provides good entertainment value.
"We refer to these deviant burritos as anticyclonic" 😂
The fact that you said "literally nobody" let me know it was a joke and I was supposed to laugh. How very brave and funny.
Based off of everything I know about how gas and liquids flow I have concluded that nature loves mushroom shapes
🤗❤️
Dude. EVERY vid you produce is a winner. Thanks for the education, the excitement and the storytelling style that is legendary. Cheers.
I have always been so captivated by tornadoes since I was a kid. I’m in Australia, and they are a very very rare sight here, if ever!
There is something so majestic and mesmerising about them. The one in this video was hypnotic. I feel like Tornado ASMR could be a thing.. 😂😍
Still the best videos on TH-cam. Period! Fellow Oklahoman here!
Boomer Sooner!
Tulsa babyyy!!!
Broken arrow bruh
Same. Go Tigers!
Oklahoma isn't real
Been following Dr. Orf's work for years... so amazing to finally see a really well edited video of his sims/work with their real-life examples in such high resolution video and audio detail. Thanks for all the work Hank, and obviously huge thanks to Dr. Orf for his incredible contributions to our understanding of these beasts.
As a flight instructor I guess I think of this like moving your flat hand through water and watching a whirlpool form behind where your hand was, then the equal and opposite reaction is the liquid spinning off in the other direction as a direct result. I notice this when watching the tide come in and out at the beach. I imagine air behaving exactly like water now when I fly and teach new students. Enough about me, I LOVE this channel. Such amazing content. I wish you could have seen the microburst I was in the middle of at Orlando Executive Airport yesterday. A student lost their life because the plane was flipped over. Thank you for showing people to respect mother nature.
Hank, will you be talking about the recent tornado that tore through Arkansas all the way to KY?
Wow, first I've heard of anticyclonic tornadoes. The one they filmed that had gathered up a lot of the dirt was gorgeous. It is strange to see the different rotation but it doesn't make it any less mesmerizing and frightening as a cyclonic tornado is. Just fascinating.
I've been obsessed with tornadoes and hurricanes since I was in elementary. I just love to watch the strength in severe weather and oddly love to be in it. During Hurricane Ike I stood outside in 140+ mph winds, so awesome.
Same my family were
storm chasers since 1998 they been chasing tornados and hurricanes they are cool to look at but really scary once you are in it but since I'm used to it I'm not really scared at them at all but chasing storms are Really Cool!
I just want to thank you for all of your amazing videos. You've Inspired me to start photographing storms here in Florida. You've filled your videos with so much valuable information all while making them fun to watch and share!
Thanks again Hank I admire you and salute you and your beautiful work. Keep em coming!!!!
Your vids are the best. A true highlight of my average day when I see a new vid from you… Hope to see more sometime soon.😁👍
On June 3, 1980, 3 anti-cyclonic tornadoes hit the city of Grand Island, NE from a stalling supercell. 2 of these were on the ground at once and one of those ended up getting an F-3 rating as it damaged a hospital and destroyed other buildings around it.
This was part of a larger outbreak that produced 7 tornadoes in and around the city.
In my opinion that was one of the most fascinating tornadic events that has ever happened in tornado alley. The picture on the internet of the sky the night of the event is just unreal.
That was an absolutely INSANE tornadic event!
Grand Island was the first place I thought of when I saw this video was about anticyclonic tornadoes.
You sir are the main reason I'm devoting my life just around weather and atmospheric science even if i'm only 12-
don't be snitching on yourself lmao, TH-cam can ban your account for being under 13

Do people use - instead of . To end their sentences??
@@ass4ssinang3l97 It’s to express his emotions ig
Number one on my bucket list is to see a tornado in person before I die. It is my dream. For now, I will live vicariously through you
I was just in a tornado and it was bad 1 dead 2 injured and house collapsed and Amazon warehouse hit pretty bad
Hank is literally the only TH-camr that I have the bell icon selected for. One, he doesn't upload too often. And, two: when he does, it's going to be worth watching.
He never misses with the quality of his videos, informative and super entertaining
This tornado is absolutely stunning, I've never seen anything like that, also it's heart worming to see that fellow storm chasers and friends who are as big hearted as hank is, i love it.
I watched most of your videos about a year ago when my grandpa died. For some reason it really helped me cope because it was like a visual for grief. My grandma died just a few days ago and I’m back here to find this weird comfort again. Grief is much like severe weather/tornados. In a weird way. I appreciate your videos
That dry ice demo nailed it for me. Now I understand! 🙏
While anticyclonic tornadoes can be weaker than some of the mammoth wedges and tubes that Hank has seen before, don't ever underestimate them. There's no such thing as a minor tornado if you're in one!
Towards the end of the video, Hank touched on the strongest anticyclonic tornado ever recorded - it hit my home state over by West Bend - it's believed to have been of F4 intensity and there was little to no warning (it also struck around midnight).
*There's no such thing as a minor tornado if you're in one!*
As someone who's had a low-end F1 come out of the night with no warning and score a direct hit on her in a pickup truck ... fully agreed. Tornadoes look a lot more awesome from the outside than the inside. (Hell, even a strong dust devil can be pretty scary.)
Some anticyclonic tornadoes have reached F4 strength
That anticyclonic tornado was just so beautiful. I can't be afraid of that thing. That's one of the prettiest tornadoes I've ever seen. It does look freaky though. It just feels wrong looking at them turning the wrong direction. Even though I don't know which direction they should normally spin.
An F4 anti cyclonic?!?! That is crazy! They are so rare to reach that strenght.
This man could make a documentary on paper clips and I’d find it amusing
They have an interestingly amusing history. Invented in Norway and later becoming the sign of resistance to the Nazi occupation of Norway in WWII.
Ikr! I would too
@@RussianSevereWeatherVideos I did not know that. Interesting!
@@DoiInthanon1897 Happy to help!
@@RussianSevereWeatherVideos how
I came back and revisited this video because I live in Clarksville, Tennessee and we almost got hit by two tornadoes Friday through Saturday morning and they ripped through 6 states. I mainly feel bad for the Kentucky governor because of all the deaths and damage. RIP to all the victims and all my prayers go out to their families and friends.
not 6 states, 4 states, over 220 miles, broke the tri-state tornado record, it also travelled in almost a completely straight path
@@ifminecrafthadfloods3659 5, it spawned a small ef1 that struck Limestone county Alabama and no injured or dead as it only destroyed a barn and major damage to a few homes near tanner
Ive been watching Pecos Hank for years and I'm still amazed at how I learn something new every video. Truly world class 👏👏👏
I remember seeing the storm that dropped the tornado in West Bend, Wi. Also remember the mess it left behind & the apartments, farm & college that got nailed. We had chipped in some clothes & canned food for the drive. That was something else!
What I enjoy a lot about Hank’s videos are the calming presentations of these unique tornadoes. He lets Mother Nature speak for herself without need of dramatic music or flashy cuts.
That’s one strong burrito
Omg the Tri state tornado was beaten last night as far as the longest running tornado ever. One tornado tracked over 235 miles last night through Ark, Tenn, Mississippi and Kentucky beating the tri state of 219 miles. It's the quad state tornado. Fortunately doesn't sound like the there were many deaths involved. But holy cow was last night intense. Thanks to you Hank I was able to identify certain things about the storm as it passed over. It was a HP storm mode but I was able to see enough to keep my family safe. Can't wait for your next video hank. Happy trails.
It hit close to me I’m 10 minutes from mayfield
We had it close too. I saw the tail cloud right before the heavy rain hit. It was less than 4 miles from my house just passed to the north.
OK - if we follow what Leigh Orf has been postulating for a while, then the conclusion is that the RFD is an EFFECT of a very strong updraft that produces the tornado, but not the CAUSE of the tornado’s appearance or strengthening. The anticyclonic tornado is another effect of that updraft and the subsequent/must-occur downdraft that follows it. The dry ice experiments show this rather well - you can’t have a strong updraft without a corresponding downdraft, and that happens BEHIND the storm that is producing the updraft - the anticyclonic rotation is observed commonly to the south of a right-moving tornadic supercell in the northern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect. Therefore, the RFD surge correlates with, but does not cause, tornadoes to drop or strengthen. What it really indicates is that the storm has just taken a big breath in the front - an inhalation! That includes inhaling the vorticity, in tornadic supercells. The RFD is the exhale - out the back. You get the human anatomical analogy. :-)
Some strong tornadoes have no RFD.
I really like Leigh’s theory here - it’s mostly about sucking up the vorticity ahead of the mesocyclone as the storm eats unstable air in front of it!
Hank - thanks so much. Why have you been so quiet lately?
Your last sentence is why I'm here in the comments section. Hope Hank and his fam are safe and healthy. I kept checking his channel all summer hoping for amazing storm videos but it's just been so quiet.
these videos are so much more entertaining with the closed captions turned on. Gotta love those demonic burritos!!!
Please never stop doing what you do. You are a national treasure! Thank you for all of the incredible videos and music.
I'm a college student going into construction engineering, but I've always been fascinated with weather, I love watching your videos.
