Storm chaser, narrator, video editor, animal savior, musician, cool like an old western movie hero. Having lived through hurricanes and tornadoes your videos and commentary aren't just entertaining it's an experience. Appreciate all your hard work Hank.
I absolutely agree but would like to add weather & tornado scientist & teacher, & post-tornado provider of assistance & comfort to those traumatized physically, mentally, emotionally , or fiscally by the storms & tornados effects. Pecos Hank’s been my hero ever since I discovered him storm chasing on TH-cam when he was not much more than a teenager & I hadn’t received my first Social Security check. It’s great to know that even after I’ve been rewarded w/ a Walker, IV standard to haul behind me, & a C-PAP machine, I can still go Storm Chasing w/ Pecos Hank. Thank you for being you & using your many gifts to inform & teach others!!!
The only bad thing about watching a Pecos Hank video, is when it comes to an end. You make the best videos hands down. Your editing skills and adding your own personal music just makes it so damn smooth. You sir are a gift to this world. I love the educational stuff you do as well. Thank you Hank. Stay safe out there, chasing the storms of a lifetime.
I was just about to leave a comment saying the only bad thing about his videos were that they weren't long enough, because I could watch HOURS of this amazing footage
I agree. You make the most entertaining and chill science content. Your content has contributed to a number of my students' interest in tornados to and weather, as well as underscored the coolness of sprites, which my oldest has been enamored with since he was 3. Looking forward to more of the 2022 season, but hoping the storms steer clear of people and critters. Much love from dry California! 💜🌎🌪️🌌✌️😎🍀
Hank your ability to confidently discern which tornadoes are safe to be within 100 yards of and which to stay 2 miles away from never ceases to amaze me. I've lived in Texas most my life and if I was that close to one in person I'd lose my marbles. Keep up the phenomenal work we all truly appreciate it.
@@PecosHank My son and I love your work and the videos you share with us Hank, you're awesome brother! One of the most endearing qualities you possess besides your super chill calm manner in obviously super stressful dangerous situations is your clear love and admiration for all the critters you encounter....shows how pure your heart is and that's why we all love ya buddy! Please stay safe out there!
@@sizzlean9459 As terrible as it would be for Hank to get a ride from a tornado if he lived to tell the tale I’m sure we’d have a video about it. Would make for great content at the very least. Windbreaker might not be too happy about it though.
I have no idea how he gets such good footage while also monitoring the radar and watching out for second tornados coming down on him. He's so skilled and his. Footage always looks perfect
I love this guy for his laid back, but very professional approach to his chosen vocation. I love his empathy with the local wild life and his concerns for the impact of these storms on not just the local population, but also the local infrastructure and I would have loved to have been on a storm chase with him. Unfortunately I’m a bit creaky for that now but I still have the love of observing wild weather, having spent most of my working life in the Merchant Navy I have experienced much of what is on offer out there, from China Sea Typhoons, Caribbean Hurricanes, Winter round Cape Horn, any old time round Cape of Good Hope, North Pacific Winter and not forgetting the close to home North Sea in Winter. However Tornadoes are so dynamic and dramatic they are visually and viscerally something else entirely. More power to your elbow Hank. Keep on tracking and following your life philosophy.
@@PecosHank I discovered your work two years ago and the way that you use your various skills to best advantage in your videos is one step away from witchcraft. Your professionalism and your love of what you are doing are self evident and admirable
you will never disappoint me with your content, as an autistic person with tornadoes (well, meteorology in general) as my special interest, your videos bring me so much joy. i always get so excited when i get a notification from you. thank you so much!!!
I have to say that Pecos Hank has re-kindled my childhood fascination in the weather and storms in particular. Have you heard of Tim Samaras? You MUST read the book THE MAN WHO CAUGHT THE STORM-- it is a beautiful account of tornadoes and Tim Samaras' obsession with teasing them to reveal their secrets.
Hank, many times throughout the year, even when it’s not tornado season, I’ll go back to these videos to attain wonder and peace. Blessings to you and yours always.
Whenever I'm stressed, I know I can decompress with friendly, fantastic and humorous Hank. The only stable and reliable programming left on the planet!😍😁
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I always thought you had music that tells the story of the tornadoes you experienced. Now I know why. Truly in Peco Hank style!
I'm yet another one of those people struggling with severe mental health issues who turns to these videos to help cope during bad episodes. There is something about calmly watching a rampaging monster to quiet guitar music that soothes the soul. Thanks for giving me something to project my despair onto so I can hunker down while it takes its course and finally ropes itself out.
I love playing guitar. I started playing in '67' when I was just a 10 year old kid . It's as much part of me as the air I breathe. That's one of the things about your videos that I admire , the fact that you incorporate your music into your productions. It's part of the Pecos Hank mystiek . The fact that you pull it off so well. Your music is an important part of your videos. A BIG Thank you from all of us who watch and enjoy your videos.😎🌪️👍
Hey hank I just want to say thank you, you’re one of the reasons I’ve fallen in love with everything weather, and now I’m off to my dream school as an atmospheric science major this fall. Not sure if I would be able to say that without your vids.
I hope you have the money to complete it. The college I went to said I'd be able to take my base classes at their local campus, and then transfer to a main campus when I fulfilled my credit needs. What they didn't tell me, is that I wouldn't be able to afford to do so, 2 years into the degree. And so now I'm a class A driver roaming the countryside, always on the hunt for nader's.
You scored and performed the music for this video so beautifully and so perfectly, Hank!! Fantastic tornado captures, too! You must be the king of multitasking. At one point I could see the reflection, in your windshield, of three different screens. How you keep track of your driving while watching radar maps and the skies is beyond me! You're awesome.
That piano? part that kicks in around 7:00 is killer! I love how he puts it in there quietly it sound so gentle yet ominous. Hank has such a unique talent musically along with everything else. Love it.
I love how I can now pick out the different parts of a tornado’s anatomy now thanks to watching your content for so many years now. Terms like “inflow jet”, “antivorticularity”, and “rear flank downdraft” have transcended mere words and evolved into concepts that I can envision. Much like you, I exist somewhere on the border of art and science with an insatiable curiosity, but ADHD and the fact that the kids want to eat, like, every single day makes it incredibly difficult. I’m hoping that I may be able to find a voice of my own some day. In the meantime I appreciate all the inspiration you’ve been giving year after year. From snakes and critters to violently rotating columns of air and lightning phenomena, your videos and sublime composition never fail to increase my thirst for knowledge. Thank you
Hank never gets old of saving turtles in the road and the same for storm chasing, I’ve been a fan since 2014 and his voice sounds the same I think I’m hallucinating
Whenever I see a big dark cloud looming towards me I get so scared, but this shows how in the right situation tornadoes can be beautiful. Been a fan since 2018 and it’s great to see you at a million! You deserve 10 times that
I've been watching Pecos Hank for 2 years now, and I gotta say, he has to be the first (And Best) Storm Chaser! He documents Tornado's and other storms in a very cool and in a unique way, he's also inspired me to learn more about weather, and storm chasing! Keep up the amazing work Pecos Hank! :)
I just want to say that your content brings out the little storm chaser in me that i once wanted to be when i was about 6-7. I lost that feeling and storms made me anxious, but ever since I found your content, when a storm hits, im watching the whole thing. Thank you for what you do, keep up the incredible work!! And stay safe!!
I come from a really difficult period and seeing such a beautiful soul in the world, makes me so happy and peaceful. This is my hearthfelt opinion. You spread a lot of love with your actions, like being so kind even with turtles. You're the type of person who we need the most right now. This is how the world is a beautiful place. God bless you.
From the UK, I really appreciate your videos. You truly are the bob ross of giant storms, I had no idea the guitar you put over portions of your videos was your own self playing! Well done Hank!
Before you even made the comment, I was just thinking "wow, those turbines are taking a direct hit from a tornado like a champ." I also found the safety fact about them shutting off completely at 50+ wind speeds interesting. Nice shots, Hank! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
That’s normal actually that windpower plants shutdown when the windspeed exceeds a definied limit. This mainly due to constrains in physics like centrifugal force acting on blade hub (blades get ripped apart and flung away). There are some videos on yt where one can see what happens when a turbine overspends.
4:27 that tornado really wanted to be rebellious and break the “no trespassing” rule. 😂 Thanks as always for the amazing content, Hank! Hope you have a great rest of your week. 😊
I needed this! ❤️ I'm having serious withdrawals from thunderstorms. I live in small suburb in Ohio where you never know what you're getting until you're in it. Thank you and as always, be safe!
@@sleuth2077 Something about the topography near Xenia…didn’t the native Americans call it ‘land of the bad winds’ or something? Was working downtown Dayton when the ‘74 tornado devastated Xenia.
@@SusanKay- 😬 true. "Storms" Saturday and Sunday for my area. But for some reason, they play hop scotch right over my complex and hammer the north or east cities instead 😔. Almost every time.
There is something so soothing about that guitar music over the video of those magnificent tornadoes. I love the feel of your videos. Thanks for making these for our enjoyment.
Ever since seeing Twister as a kid, I've always had tornado chasing on my bucket list but being from the UK that's a very difficult task. It seems like there has to be a lot of understanding of them and weather before just driving around hoping to see one. Great videos, love the channel!
Yeah same here! I remember seeing the El Reno on RTÉ and immediately thinking "wow! I want that to be my career!" But being from Ireland it is extremely difficult (the last tornado was in January) but that doesn't stop my dreams!
Hank, it's seriously impressive how you remain so cool right next to these things. Tornados are some cosmic horror type creatures, almost like they're sentient. Love the channel dude.
In a way you saving the critters might be my favorite part of your videos….lol. Between you and Oblinski I’m truly amazed. Mike has incredible time lapse as do you Hank. But it’s the journey you take us on and the story you tell that makes your content A1. Thank you man.
Story telling, great footage, hes hushed so u can hear the car and roar, hes nice to animals, always is safe and makes his own music to add for background music… great channel!!
Of all my TH-cam subscriptions, I never miss any of Hanks videos. Atmospheric, artistic and personable ….. and a friend to animals. You are good people Hank.
My goodness! I click immediately every video of yours I see. Something about the calm, but excited way you talk, how sincere you are, and your heart for the wildlife and compassion to keep them safe when possible always just soothes me when I'm having a rough day. Thank you for always making stellar content and putting together the perfect blend of beauty and danger in these vids
@@keitaro373 Hank has a talent for getting his incidental music and his narration to SUPPORT his video and he has done it consistently well over the years.
I’ve been watching your videos for four years now. The way you make your videos have that one feeling that leaves on the edge of your seat, is amazing. The music in the background makes it even better to watch! Keep up the work and safe out there. God bless.
Hey Hank, thanks for uploading. After my city in northern Germany was directly hit by an EF2 yesterday (May 20th) videos like this feel differently. The Tornado passed 2km from where I live, I'm fine but my beautiful city was badly damaged. Many people were injured about 10 severely. Please stay safe out there. Happy trails
Tornados are just such a fascinating thing to me. There is still so much we don’t understand about them but somehow they are like a living creature that has a mind of its own
I’ve been a proud watcher of this channel since 2012. Seeing over a decade of your chasing videos has inspired me over the years and it always makes me smile to see your videos. Stay safe out there and if you ever need a tornado chasing intern I’ll gladly volunteer!
Hank I just want to send this message to you because of how Phenomenal your content is. I’ve been watching you since I was about ten and I’m going to college for meteorology next fall and I just want to say thank you because I don’t think I would be as interested in weather if it weren’t for you showing how beautiful it is. Keep up the great work and no one better deserves 1 million subs.
Every time I see a storm that develops a tornado here in Texas, I always think about you chasing it! Keeps me sane while huddled in my closet. Keep up the great work!
I wanted to teach my 4 year old about tornados a while back and we quickly found your videos. They're very wholesome and now the whole family watches when you release them! Thanks so much.
Pecos Hank you are FAR AND AWAY my favorite source for anything tornado! You sir are a gift! I’m praying for your safety as well as for God to continue to open up the beautiful wonders of the sky to you!
Great cutaway to the scoring at the end. Not only is your content stellar, as it has been for years, but the fact that all of the music is yours in some way or another just puts you on a whole other level. Can't wait for the next one!
Seeing the big brown dust cloud, the "bottom" of the tornado, towering so high above you puts this into scale so well. Whenever I see footage of tornados in the distance it's hard to appreciate just how big they are. This footage is awesome
I've been rewatching a lot of your videos lately, and was super happy to get the notification for this video! you have a way with words, it sounds like you are writing poetry with your narration and the cadence of your voice combined with the mesmerising background music and stunning visuals always makes it an absolutely wonderful experience to watch your videos. I watch these when I need to relax, and it works like a charm each time! the videos always feel shorter than they actually are, but satisfy all the same! I also really appreciate how you explain things, I always feel like I'm learning something from your videos, whether its about the weather or about the animals! thank you so much for creating and sharing these videos with us Hank!
always so stoked for your vids. not even just the marvel of the tornadoes. The music is so good and the quality commentary. Cant wait for the next one!
Haha the editing is so deep! The V-I chord change over “tornado right there” at 6:41, matching the music to your comments in the car while chasing. a great detail man.
The latest from Pecos Hank , Our favorite Vortex-chaser . Hank is a artist and delivers on every outing . His visuals are stunning . He does his own editing and even performs the background music , all the while doing the best color commentary narration of any chaser in the bidness ! . . Hank is wide-open on the road , but does occasionally put on the brakes . No , not for hallucinations , but for turtles crossing the road
Love the image quality. Love your respect for animals and nature in general. Love the no screaming (like most storm chasers do) and your calm voice-overs. Love your own music, which sets the tone so nicely. Stay awesome Hank. Thanks!
The way that tornado at 5:46 looks like it doubled back is what makes me extremely nervous when I watch some of these other storm chasers on youtube, who seem to disregard just how dangerous and unpredictable these things can be. I love how you always respect the beauty & danger and keep your distance. That one that formed close to you in the field, had me going"Hank, start the car, start the car" at my computer, lol, so was glad when you decided to roll on out and give it its space. Be safe out there.
@@2dheethbar The El Reno tornado in 2013 that killed Tim Samaras and his team started out moving southeast and then slowly made a turn until it ended up moving northeast. So, yeah, it was sort of a "U" shape. Actually, more of a "V" shape, I guess.
@@dhornjr1 My apologies, I remembered the year and tornado path incorrectly. I meant the tornado in Earlsboro, Oklahoma earlier this May(2022). Apparently, the tornado made a loop-da-loop path, which naturally intrigued many. 🍃
He's also learned a thing or two about getting too close to them, too. I think it was the Dodge City, Kansas tornadoes that had twins then triplets that he got too close to one day. Just the sound alone of those tornadoes was absolutely hypnotic. I think that was May 24, 2016.
There is a lot to love about Pecos Hank. As already mentioned his style of story telling, he has a big heart ❤️, always on the look out for anyone injured by the tornado he just chased. He loves all kinds of critters, Turtles 🐢, Frogs 🐸 and even snakes🐍. He's funny, kind & a good storm chaser. I should mention he's pretty good at playing guitar, what more could anyone ask for?, Pecos Hank is the Best!
This video shows the beautiful natures of tornadoes all the way. The ones shown here are absolutely gorgeous and photogenic, helped by the red dust kicked up by the wind. The storm patterns were mesmerizing too. 10/10 watching experience, will watch this again.
Man, been watching you for couple of years, you never fail to give us this amazing up close content, hardly any music just you Narrating, and the hellacious sounds of the tornados, it's thrilling.
Hey! I’ve been watching your stuff for at least 3 years now, and have set my eyes on being a storm chaser. You’ve inspired me a lot, and this weekend I finally saw my first tornado, a fairly rain-wrapped EF3. Thanks for inspiring me, and happy chasing!
Combined with your beautiful music and narration, these mesmerising storms are absolutely BREATHTAKING. EDIT: Your videos convey a very distinct sense of a materializing spectre and nowhere else do I experience that.
Your shot of the direct hit on the turbine followed by a lightning strike is one of my all time favs. Thanks for yet another amazing video Hank. Stay safe out there please!
Always great to see you again, Pecos Hank. Hunting Tornadoes, saving animals & creatures & singing on the road. Love the quality content. Stay safe, strong & sound out there!
Once again, Hank has come through with a great piece of work. I cannot thank you enough for what you do, Hank. It’s is truly awesome what you can capture and what nature can make. Thanks again, and, as you always say, happy trails.
Hands down the greatest tornado/storm chasing channel on TH-cam. It sure beats the constant, non-stop over-acted screaming and hollering of Reed Timmer. This guy DEFINES cool, and he’s got the PERFECT narrator’s voice along with creating absolutely KILLER music for his own videos! I just wish there were more frequent videos that also lasted longer!
I love your channel. You remain so calm & chill in the midst of these monster storms. Plus you always help little creatures along the way 🐢🦎🦔 You deserve a show on the weather channel ❤
In the yellow city here, Amarillo. This happened south east of us almost not even in the Panhandle any more. It was a wild day of storms, lots of dust, and the occasional scary looking cloud. Was watching a livestream through Ryanhallyall and saw a black car pass the watcher and thought to myself...wonder if that's Hank?
Absolutely stunning footage, as usual. I've been following you for several years and you've always had the best content. Thank you so much for what you do.

Hank never gets old of saving turtles in the road and the same for storm chasing, I’ve been a fan since 2014 and his voice sounds the same I think I’m hallucinating
Whenever I see a big dark cloud looming towards me I get so scared, but this shows how in the right situation tornadoes can be beautiful. Been a fan since 2018 and it’s great to see you at a million! You deserve 10 times that
I've been watching Pecos Hank for 2 years now, and I gotta say, he has to be the first (And Best) Storm Chaser! He documents Tornado's and other storms in a very cool and in a unique way, he's also inspired me to learn more about weather, and storm chasing! Keep up the amazing work Pecos Hank! :)
is a flat car good for that?
I wouldn't say he was the first one
A 13:41 minute video showing beautiful tornadoes from one of my favorite youtubers?! IT'S A GREAT DAY! love you hank!!
@Guys look👇🅥 th-cam.com/video/GOG5cQV-Z7E/w-d-xo.html Finally its here
I just want to say that your content brings out the little storm chaser in me that i once wanted to be when i was about 6-7. I lost that feeling and storms made me anxious, but ever since I found your content, when a storm hits, im watching the whole thing. Thank you for what you do, keep up the incredible work!! And stay safe!!
Let's try to hold on to some of those 6-7 dreams. It sure can be fun. Thanks Madeline.
Tornadoes used to make me super scared but Hank has taught me lots about them while being entertaining, so now I'm interested in them from his videos
I come from a really difficult period and seeing such a beautiful soul in the world, makes me so happy and peaceful. This is my hearthfelt opinion. You spread a lot of love with your actions, like being so kind even with turtles. You're the type of person who we need the most right now. This is how the world is a beautiful place. God bless you.
From the UK, I really appreciate your videos. You truly are the bob ross of giant storms, I had no idea the guitar you put over portions of your videos was your own self playing!
Well done Hank!
Before you even made the comment, I was just thinking "wow, those turbines are taking a direct hit from a tornado like a champ." I also found the safety fact about them shutting off completely at 50+ wind speeds interesting. Nice shots, Hank! Keep up the good work and stay safe!
That’s normal actually that windpower plants shutdown when the windspeed exceeds a definied limit. This mainly due to constrains in physics like centrifugal force acting on blade hub (blades get ripped apart and flung away). There are some videos on yt where one can see what happens when a turbine overspends.
also, the video showing that turbine stopping so quick left me in awe.
@@MattyJ7316 those brakes will definitely be quite hot after that stop :)
4:27 that tornado really wanted to be rebellious and break the “no trespassing” rule. 😂 Thanks as always for the amazing content, Hank! Hope you have a great rest of your week. 😊
Can we prosecute tornadoes? Cheers Kim!
LOL! YOU GOT ME LAUGHING OUT LOUD! how are the kids, did you pick them up from soccer lawrence?
I needed this! ❤️ I'm having serious withdrawals from thunderstorms. I live in small suburb in Ohio where you never know what you're getting until you're in it.
Thank you and as always, be safe!
Same here outside of Allentown, PA. All trees and hills. "What's coming?" Don't know until it's on you.
I live in Xenia and our tornado sirens usually go off at least once a season. This place is a magnet for supercells. Lol
Same here, Nalani. I'm north of Dayton a ways and we haven't had much action so far. Hoping for something soon, just not like Memorial Day 2019 lol.
@@sleuth2077 Something about the topography near Xenia…didn’t the native Americans call it ‘land of the bad winds’ or something? Was working downtown Dayton when the ‘74 tornado devastated Xenia.
@@SusanKay- 😬 true. "Storms" Saturday and Sunday for my area. But for some reason, they play hop scotch right over my complex and hammer the north or east cities instead 😔. Almost every time.
There is something so soothing about that guitar music over the video of those magnificent tornadoes. I love the feel of your videos. Thanks for making these for our enjoyment.
The moment at 8:59 when the tornado hits the dusty field is just so mesmerizing to see and even more when it graces past Hank.
Ever since seeing Twister as a kid, I've always had tornado chasing on my bucket list but being from the UK that's a very difficult task. It seems like there has to be a lot of understanding of them and weather before just driving around hoping to see one. Great videos, love the channel!
I have the same problem it's on my bucket list aswell but im from the Netherlands.
Really wanna see a Tornado in my life😅
Perhaps hop on a tour. Though this tornado almost killed a group as it took out all the van windows :D
@@PecosHank well I guess that comes with the territory of wanting to chase a natural monster 😅
@@PecosHank it's a risk im willing to take😅
Yeah same here!
I remember seeing the El Reno on RTÉ and immediately thinking "wow! I want that to be my career!"
But being from Ireland it is extremely difficult (the last tornado was in January) but that doesn't stop my dreams!
Hank, it's seriously impressive how you remain so cool right next to these things. Tornados are some cosmic horror type creatures, almost like they're sentient. Love the channel dude.
Good thing we can't record smells :D Cheers Michael.
In a way you saving the critters might be my favorite part of your videos….lol. Between you and Oblinski I’m truly amazed. Mike has incredible time lapse as do you Hank. But it’s the journey you take us on and the story you tell that makes your content A1. Thank you man.
Let's get Hank to 1 mil! He completely deserves it with the amount of quality and dedication in his videos!
Story telling, great footage, hes hushed so u can hear the car and roar, hes nice to animals, always is safe and makes his own music to add for background music… great channel!!
Of all my TH-cam subscriptions, I never miss any of Hanks videos. Atmospheric, artistic and personable ….. and a friend to animals. You are good people Hank.
My goodness! I click immediately every video of yours I see. Something about the calm, but excited way you talk, how sincere you are, and your heart for the wildlife and compassion to keep them safe when possible always just soothes me when I'm having a rough day. Thank you for always making stellar content and putting together the perfect blend of beauty and danger in these vids
Not to mention the brilliant guitar accompanying it all
I Luvas this comment :D
@@keitaro373 Hank has a talent for getting his incidental music and his narration to SUPPORT his video and he has done it consistently well over the years.
I love the eerie and beautiful aesthetic you've created when making your tornado documentaries
I’ve been watching your videos for four years now. The way you make your videos have that one feeling that leaves on the edge of your seat, is amazing. The music in the background makes it even better to watch! Keep up the work and safe out there. God bless.
Hey Hank, thanks for uploading. After my city in northern Germany was directly hit by an EF2 yesterday (May 20th) videos like this feel differently. The Tornado passed 2km from where I live, I'm fine but my beautiful city was badly damaged. Many people were injured about 10 severely.
Please stay safe out there.
Happy trails
Hope all is well now ♥
From an EF2?? Was the city made out of sheet metal?
@@screwblackwell ef2 tornadoes can be strong. the biggest tornado ever recorded was only an ef3.
I love that you just automatically answer the natural questions that would arise from the wind turbines Please don't ever stop doing what you're doing
Tornados are just such a fascinating thing to me. There is still so much we don’t understand about them but somehow they are like a living creature that has a mind of its own
I’ve been a proud watcher of this channel since 2012. Seeing over a decade of your chasing videos has inspired me over the years and it always makes me smile to see your videos. Stay safe out there and if you ever need a tornado chasing intern I’ll gladly volunteer!
Your videos are so peaceful. I could literally fall asleep watching this
The footage at 5:28 along with your guitar work was hauntingly beautiful. Loved it so much!
Hank I just want to send this message to you because of how Phenomenal your content is. I’ve been watching you since I was about ten and I’m going to college for meteorology next fall and I just want to say thank you because I don’t think I would be as interested in weather if it weren’t for you showing how beautiful it is. Keep up the great work and no one better deserves 1 million subs.
That's awesome Jock. I wouldn't be surprised if our paths cross one day soon.
Every time I see a storm that develops a tornado here in Texas, I always think about you chasing it! Keeps me sane while huddled in my closet. Keep up the great work!
I wanted to teach my 4 year old about tornados a while back and we quickly found your videos. They're very wholesome and now the whole family watches when you release them! Thanks so much.
Bro I love this 😭🥺
This is the best
Pecos Hank you are FAR AND AWAY my favorite source for anything tornado! You sir are a gift! I’m praying for your safety as well as for God to continue to open up the beautiful wonders of the sky to you!
Great cutaway to the scoring at the end. Not only is your content stellar, as it has been for years, but the fact that all of the music is yours in some way or another just puts you on a whole other level. Can't wait for the next one!
Seeing the big brown dust cloud, the "bottom" of the tornado, towering so high above you puts this into scale so well. Whenever I see footage of tornados in the distance it's hard to appreciate just how big they are. This footage is awesome
I've been rewatching a lot of your videos lately, and was super happy to get the notification for this video! you have a way with words, it sounds like you are writing poetry with your narration and the cadence of your voice combined with the mesmerising background music and stunning visuals always makes it an absolutely wonderful experience to watch your videos. I watch these when I need to relax, and it works like a charm each time! the videos always feel shorter than they actually are, but satisfy all the same! I also really appreciate how you explain things, I always feel like I'm learning something from your videos, whether its about the weather or about the animals! thank you so much for creating and sharing these videos with us Hank!
Mission accomplished then. Thanks for taking the time to feedback Nina. It's very encouraging to keep on. Best!
always so stoked for your vids. not even just the marvel of the tornadoes. The music is so good and the quality commentary. Cant wait for the next one!
There is nothing as creepy as the music/sound effect you use for the sneaky twisters. It is a classic!
Haha the editing is so deep! The V-I chord change over “tornado right there” at 6:41, matching the music to your comments in the car while chasing. a great detail man.
Late to the party but never disappointed. Your own music truly enhances the already "electric" atmosphere in your videos. A gem you are.
The latest from Pecos Hank , Our favorite Vortex-chaser . Hank is a artist and delivers on every outing . His visuals are stunning . He does his own editing and even performs the background music , all the while doing the best color commentary narration of any chaser in the bidness ! . . Hank is wide-open on the road , but does occasionally put on the brakes . No , not for hallucinations , but for turtles crossing the road
That could be my bio. Cheers Tom!
It's always a good day when Pecos Hank posts a new video.
Love the image quality. Love your respect for animals and nature in general. Love the no screaming (like most storm chasers do) and your calm voice-overs. Love your own music, which sets the tone so nicely. Stay awesome Hank. Thanks!
Always love seeing anything by Pecos Hank - Thank you Sir! 🌪💕
Truly one of the greatest channels on TH-cam. Great work brother, happy trails.
The way that tornado at 5:46 looks like it doubled back is what makes me extremely nervous when I watch some of these other storm chasers on youtube, who seem to disregard just how dangerous and unpredictable these things can be. I love how you always respect the beauty & danger and keep your distance. That one that formed close to you in the field, had me going"Hank, start the car, start the car" at my computer, lol, so was glad when you decided to roll on out and give it its space. Be safe out there.
I forget what city and state this other one was in, but wasn't there a tornado that recently moved in a U shape?
@@2dheethbar The El Reno tornado in 2013 that killed Tim Samaras and his team started out moving southeast and then slowly made a turn until it ended up moving northeast. So, yeah, it was sort of a "U" shape. Actually, more of a "V" shape, I guess.
@@dhornjr1
My apologies, I remembered the year and tornado path incorrectly. I meant the tornado in Earlsboro, Oklahoma earlier this May(2022). Apparently, the tornado made a loop-da-loop path, which naturally intrigued many. 🍃
He's also learned a thing or two about getting too close to them, too. I think it was the Dodge City, Kansas tornadoes that had twins then triplets that he got too close to one day. Just the sound alone of those tornadoes was absolutely hypnotic. I think that was May 24, 2016.
Was really having a bad day, so thank you very much for posting. Always makes my day better! Be safe out there.
Hope your day gets better!
nothing like watching people die to brighten up my day
@@tall7and7 thanks, that is very kind of you!! :)
@Don't Read My Profile Photo no
With your music on your video's, it sends chills down my spin. I absolutely love your video's. Keep up the amazing work and stay safe God bless you.
There is a lot to love about Pecos Hank. As already mentioned his style of story telling, he has a big heart ❤️, always on the look out for anyone injured by the tornado he just chased. He loves all kinds of critters, Turtles 🐢, Frogs 🐸 and even snakes🐍. He's funny, kind & a good storm chaser. I should mention he's pretty good at playing guitar, what more could anyone ask for?, Pecos Hank is the Best!
Pecos Hank has just become my new number one channel to go too.
Great job Hank.
Always a great day when you post Hank, thanks for this video
You’re literally the king of quality over quantity my man
This video shows the beautiful natures of tornadoes all the way. The ones shown here are absolutely gorgeous and photogenic, helped by the red dust kicked up by the wind. The storm patterns were mesmerizing too. 10/10 watching experience, will watch this again.
Man, been watching you for couple of years, you never fail to give us this amazing up close content, hardly any music just you Narrating, and the hellacious sounds of the tornados, it's thrilling.
Hey! I’ve been watching your stuff for at least 3 years now, and have set my eyes on being a storm chaser. You’ve inspired me a lot, and this weekend I finally saw my first tornado, a fairly rain-wrapped EF3. Thanks for inspiring me, and happy chasing!
Thanks for all the education and entertainment Hank, you're hands down the best on TH-cam!
Awesome. Ur the best Pecos
Combined with your beautiful music and narration, these mesmerising storms are absolutely BREATHTAKING.
EDIT: Your videos convey a very distinct sense of a materializing spectre and nowhere else do I experience that.
Oh man, it's been too long! Glad to see another upload, Hank!
Your shot of the direct hit on the turbine followed by a lightning strike is one of my all time favs. Thanks for yet another amazing video Hank. Stay safe out there please!
I love it when I find videos from Pecos and hear his voice. It's the highlight of my day.
Love that you let the storms do the talking in this video. So hypnotic
I also wanted to say I love the music in your videos!
Only 10 seconds in and it's already stunning!
9:00 really shows the size of tornado's and how they are usually thought to be farther away than they are.
I can watch your videos on repeat, that's how good they are and this is no exception. Thanks, Hank!
Best naders, soothing voice and music, always! Always a great day when Pecos Hank drops a video. 👍
Always great to see you again, Pecos Hank. Hunting Tornadoes, saving animals & creatures & singing on the road. Love the quality content. Stay safe, strong & sound out there!
Once again, Hank has come through with a great piece of work. I cannot thank you enough for what you do, Hank. It’s is truly awesome what you can capture and what nature can make. Thanks again, and, as you always say, happy trails.
@ска bot
Hands down the greatest tornado/storm chasing channel on TH-cam. It sure beats the constant, non-stop over-acted screaming and hollering of Reed Timmer. This guy DEFINES cool, and he’s got the PERFECT narrator’s voice along with creating absolutely KILLER music for his own videos! I just wish there were more frequent videos that also lasted longer!
Your music just makes this video ten times better. You really capture the eeriness and enchantment of these incredible storms.
I love your channel. You remain so calm & chill in the midst of these monster storms. Plus you always help little creatures along the way 🐢🦎🦔
You deserve a show on the weather channel ❤
Your videos are mesmerizing! See these beautiful monsters up close must give you mixed feelings of fright and amazement.
In the yellow city here, Amarillo. This happened south east of us almost not even in the Panhandle any more. It was a wild day of storms, lots of dust, and the occasional scary looking cloud. Was watching a livestream through Ryanhallyall and saw a black car pass the watcher and thought to myself...wonder if that's Hank?
Hank is a tornado whisperer and a national treasure.
Smooth as always! Love the combination of the video, music, sounds, commentary and conversations with yourself.
It’s a good day when you post!
Ahhh it’s always a good day when Pecos Hank blessed us with a new video.
Pecos is the best. I love his narrations and quality footages. He really takes a lot of time to edit and put these videos together and it shows.
This channel never fails to give me chills, amazing work as always Hank!
An absolute artist, every shot and strum is so intentional and intuitive. It's always such an honor to witness your work!
Absolutely stunning footage, as usual. I've been following you for several years and you've always had the best content. Thank you so much for what you do.
May we have a few more years. Thanks Kate.
