      I don't think Hank would want it to end any other way, seems like a poetic end to such a legendary story, much like Erwin had. If you die while doing what you love, you die happy. And in the end, is that not what we all hope for? It's one think to be reckless about it and getting caught, but Hank (similar to Erwin) does it in a way that is mature, respectable, and yet amazes us all. Makes me want to chase but I know I'd be one of those dumb people who gets caught with my feet in the mud.

    Hank, I've promised myself since I was a kid that one day I have to travel to the US (I'm Aussie) and witness one (preferably a few) of these magnificent beasts in-person. I love tracking/chasing our tropical cyclones when I'm lucky enough to have one come near me in FNQ but as far as I'm concerned cyclones/hurricanes don't even come close to the feeling of epic-ness that I get from just watching your footage. It'd be an absolute dream come true to one day cross your path and shake your hand during season in the US when I make the trip!

      Please be careful! Tornado chasing and storm chasing in general is extremely dangerous and you need to know what you are doing. There are a few programs where storm chasers take you with them when they chase, so you could probably do that for experience. Hank has been doing this for a long time and he's always been extra careful.
      They are beautiful, yes, but also extremely deadly and can be very unpredictable. Stay safe!

Your camera work is insanely phenomenal, as is your editing. The chilling ambience of the music and the distant sound of sirens in the final shot was mesmerizing. Your calm demeanor is truly comforting- as someone who has had a life long deathly fear of tornadoes, I've learned a lot from your videos about what to do and how to better compose myself in the event of a disaster like this.

Quite frankly i was stunned at how well the video turned out considering the situations in which you had to capture it in. You got captured the dreams of some filmmakers/animators with the detail and the sheer gloriousness of the ripples in the clouds of dirt and dust combined with the quality and clearness of the video itself.

    December 16, 2019 me and my 16 year old twin sister where home alone in central Louisiana. My parents where at the Dallas airport picking up a friend. I knew there was a chance of tornadoes I didn't pay attention very much until my dog got scared ( she has been scared of storms ever since last summer when she got hurt) she started shaking and laying in the hallway. I knew something wasn't right so I checked the weather and I couldn't get it to work. This is at about noon now. A few minutes after I tried to check the weather my mom called from Texas asking if we knew we had a tornado warning at that it was on the ground near us. I told her no and immediately started getting in the hallway. I turned on the TV to watch the weather and immediately lost signal due to heavy rain and just as it got signal again the power went out. I eventually got the local weather station live feed on my phone and found out the tornado warning had been upgraded to a tornado emergency and that it was just a few miles from us. We were still in the hallway with all the dogs and I heard a loud noise it almost sounded like hard rain but it was kind of faint. So I asked my sister who was next to me to open the door to the bedroom nearest us and look out the window and see if it was raining really hard and she said no so I asked if it was wind and she no that there was only a very light wind not enough for the noise we where hearing. That is when I realized it was the iconic tornado sound and that it was getting closer. From the time I first heard the noise it was about 15-20 miles away and it got within 4 miles if you measure by road. After about an hour in the hallway with no A/C and no windows to create a good a air flow it was getting very hot especially because had pillows and blankets on top of us and big dogs. The tornado warning was lifted and we could finally leave the very hot hallway. The temperature had gone up about 20 degrees outside and was in the low 80's. At this point we found out a large tornado had gone through town just a few miles away and that it destroyed a school that was in session (it was part of a church also). Luckily the school had a plan but the teachers felt that it was unsafe for whatever reason and went in to the foyer of the church at the other end of the building. And a daycare next door decided they were unsafe and decided that they would disregard their plan and also head to the church. The two buildings they left were destroyed and the one they went into had some major damage but all kids and teachers walked away without a scratch and all three buildings have since been torn down. No one was killed in our town just caused a lot of damage. I found out being prepared is important but if your gut is telling you to do something like listen to a dog or disregard pre-approved plans it might just be worth it.
    I thought this we be a good place to share this. I have heard that tornado rumble since then and as mesmerizing as it is I don't want to hear it knowing that someone is probably being hurt by it
    PS: the power was out for 28 hours luckily we had a good set of propane burners and a love for off grid camping so the heat wasn't a problem.

I served on a disaster relief team back in April 2011 when a massive tornado ripped through Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Man stopped by our feeding spot, he was Army National Guard who lived in town in between Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, he said as they flew to Tuscaloosa they could see the tornado’s path. It ripped through Tuscaloosa, picked itself up (sparing his town) and dropped back down to then rip through Birmingham.

Not to hijack Hanks content because his work and narration are somehow comforting even when he's getting pelted with debris; but I think the overwhelming majority of people just driving nonchalantly with a tornado in plain view proves my point. It's like they don't even know it's there.
