In 2021, 1376 tornadoes were confirmed
Causing over a hundred fatalities, the most tornado related deaths we’ve seen in the US since 2011.
Though it turned out to be an above average year in touch downs,
A continuing deficit of photogenic tornadoes seemed to inflate the reverence for nebulous, weak and rain-wrapped funnels. For most of the storm chasers, the surplus of incredible storm structures, lightning and atmospheric colors made chasing in 2021 well worth all the challenges.
FREAK DECEMBER TORNADO OUTBREAKS of 2021
On the evening of December 10th and dark AM hours of the 11th a deadly tornado outbreak devastated portions of the Ohio and mid Mississippi river valleys. In horrifying darkness multiple strong to violent, long tracking tornadoes destroyed thousands of homes and businesses, some of which were completely leveled or swept from their foundations.
QUAD STATE TORNADO?
One long lived supercell produced two EF4 tornadoes where Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky borders are in close proximity. Several media outlets prematurely hyped these tornadoes as ONE “quad state tornado," inaccurately claiming the longest tornado ever recorded. The first EF4 from this storm tracked “81 miles (130.7 km) killing seven people. With top wind speeds estimated at 190 mph” (306 km/h) The second tracked 165 miles (266.7 km) killing over 50 people. By sunrise on December 11th, 88 people had lost their lives.
*Data preliminary and subject to change
DECEMBER 15th DERECHO
Four days later, a long-lived and fast moving, destructive wind storm
called a derecho spawned a swarm of tornadoes in the the Upper Midwest. The highest rated were only EF2s and no tornado related fatalities were reported. A freak December finished off 2021 with an additional 200 tornadoes. More than April and June combined.

It wouldn’t be a video of Hank’s without his befriending of random animals he finds in the roads. Thank you Hank!!! Love these videos!
And just look how calm this random wild snake is! Fascinating, every time.
Hank, I believe, is a biologist who changed careers into meteorology.

Hey you know Tim Samras
Yes 💯 agree!
There's only one thing wrong with this channel. After you've visit it, every other stormchasers channel seems like second class. Love your channel and keep the videos coming.
This is facts. 💯
True
I know!!
It's better than "Twister."
@@monkeechicken there are plenty of other amazing storm chasers😊 on RUclips but none of them come close to Hank, both educationally and visually. Pecos Hank is definitely top tier
Rest in peace Jody. You have had a life that most storm chasers dream of having. You will be missed.
May god bless her pure soul, fly high Jody🙏🏻🙏🏻
Whos Jody?
@@edwynn2966 I'm assuming the dog. Around 12:00
Edwynn it’s the dog at 12:30
May she chase storms in heaven.
It has always been this way, but I have to reiterate: Hank has the PERFECT music for his videos. They match the tone of the video so unbelievably well, it’s astounding.
Well put, I couldn't agree more!
Would you belive its his own music from his band
I could just listen to it all day
Best thing I've watched in a long time. Great filmmaking, photography and editing!
Don't forget good music and narrative.
Wait, PettyPranks?! I thought you were dead!
Hank I was in awe with how chill that Bull Snake behaved in your hands. I would have thought he had been your pet for years & not a wild animal you just picked up out of the grass for the first time moments before. I believe that's a testament to your chill attitude & skill in handling wild animals.
You can tell that someone is a good person by how they react to a snake. 😍

Ye
I absolutely love this channel. At first, I started watching for fear of tornadoes. Now, it just becomes a hobby to learn more about storms, and many times have I used your videos to educate people on tornadoes. The inspiration is real man!
I know right this channel so amazing!
Ayo homie how did you get over your fear of em? Cuz I'm still *pressed* over mild storms
@fine i am slowly losing pride in the christian community because of this

The more ya know the more you appricate 🤜🤛
Was not expecting to cry during a tornado video. Rest well Jody.
Hank you are a treasure to the human race for making such amazing videos.
I know. Right?
I agree totally.
Jody was a happy dog.
Happy chasing and stay as safe as you can Hank.
As soon as you see "Tornadoes of 20XX" in the title, you know it's gonna be an amazing video. Glad to see you upload, Hank!
💯
*me watching this over the superbowl*
@@virgoslayer Pecos Hank is more entertaining than the Superbowl 🤣
Been waiting for this one!
Yes!
I love how storm chasers are one big family, it's great how it's not a competition but you guys all work together
im happy its not like twister
Dude, you're not *just* a storm chaser, you're an artist! I mean that and know where-of I speak. The whole presentation of you channel: Educational, and not just about storms, lightening, and such, but how to photograph lightening (for one example); little bits of the storm-chaser culture; your humor; and you compose and record all (or almost all?) of your own music... not to mention video editing and telling interesting stories. Most people can't even do ONE thing well! LOL And here you are with a whole suite of things done superbly. BRAVO! (Edit spelling)
To right 👍
I agree 100%. One of the best youtube channels out there.
and some excellent wildlife too
There is no part of Hanks life that I'm not jealous of and that really sucks for me 😭
@@nothingsurprisesmeanymore don't ever compare yourself to others man. You do you! That being said, I know exactly what you mean! 😂
I’m 15, I’ve been obsessed with clouds and storms my whole life, and would like to someday become a meteorologist. Everyone in my life says I can never become a meteorologist since I have dyscalculia (like dyslexia but with maths) but your videos motivate me to study hard so I can do the job I love! Thanks pecos hank
(Edit: thanks for all the kind messages it really means a lot!! ☺️)
same i love tornadoes and i still do till this day
That just means you may have to work a little harder than most. If it's truly your dream, don't let anything stop you from trying to pursue it. Best of luck!
@@semaj_5022 Thankyou!
@@ssuupa don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do with your life. Math is a lot harder in school than in the real world because school doesn’t let you use programmable calculators. The only thing you need to remember is the formulas, and you can keep all those in a notebook or programmed into a calculator 😉
anyone who says you can't do something is full of crap. Follow your dreams
Hank’s contents are astonishing, they never disappoint. He’s the primary reason why I’m so interested in weather. Look forward to seeing you hit one million subs soon, Hank! You deserve all the love!
I've been interested in the Weather since i was just a kid. My parents always tell me how I'd amaze people with how much i knew of nature and weather at around the age of 4. I don't remember much from then, only a little. But, Hank makes me wanna go out there and chase crazy storms that i have yet to experience myself 😅
I saw the video upload, and right away, I watched it.
@fine Do you really need to do this _here?_ Do it somewhere else please.
@@sierra4actual evidently he does.
But what DOES disappoint me is that Jodie passed. :(
Your content is just jaw-droppingly good. Many chasers on RUclips have great, vlog style chase content with lots of technical detail, but your ability to go from a hyperlapse LP supercell with gorgeous structure to a tornado to mammatus clouds to red sprites and green ghosts, all topped off with these chill, ethereal instrumentals is unmatched.
And don’t forget his immediate transition to discussing the wild animals he encounters.
Or the little editing touches like how the windshield wiper wipes away the title at 22:41…
Agreed. Hank is the man!
Well said. Ditto if I may.
It's like Christmas morning logging into RUclips every year and seeing the annual "Torandoes of..." video. Amazing video as always, Hank! Thanks to you and your storm chasing pals for your dedication to storm chasing, science, and quality content
Your story about thinking a horny toad was a dinosaur reminded me of an infamous moment in my family history.
My family came to the southern USA from Russia, and one of the family's favorite stories to tell at every gathering was about the time my uncle was a little kid playing outside and came running inside to tell my grandma he had seen a dinosaur, my grandma went outside with him to see what he was talking about, and by God she saw the dinosaur too. She ran back home and put all of her children in her wagon and rode to the sheriff's office to report the dinosaur. The sheriff followed my grandma back to her farm and upon seeing the dinosaur he politely informed her that the dino was, in fact, an armadillo.
"Horny toad" 💀
Can't blame your uncle and grandma. As an asian, that armadillo would easily become a dinner for us 🤣
No matter how many tornadoes Jody saw, she still was a hyperactive dog. She will be missed.
i agree, 50 tornadoes, 13 years of chasing.
We all know Jody is chasing the best storms we can imagine up there she's such a beautiful soul! Absolutely loved the video hank and everything you do! Wishing you the best for your chases in 2022!
It was a beautiful memory of a lovely animal in an amazing video
Well, Jody isn’t a storm chaser, she is a AMAZING Storm chaser.
Rest In Peace.
How did she die
@@Cr-xw1ms well she's been around for a long time for dogs so she probably die of old age
I had so many emotions, watching this video. Elation that Pecos Hank released a new video, engaged entertainment in watching him and his crew's 2021 antics, and a growing knot in my stomach as I knew what was coming by the end of the video; the coverage of the quad-state supercell. Watching the news was awful that night. The storm that killed on in Defiance, MO missed my best friend by only a handful of miles. RIP to all who lost their lives that night in Illlinois, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
My sister and her dad live in Defiance. We were visiting our new-born nephew that week, and my sister was getting frantic messages from her friends. Her dad was missed by not even a mile.
I hear ya bud :)
@@MissusO Glad they all made it through ok!
I am HIGHLY impressed on the recall of those dogs! Love that ya’ll bring them along. I bet Jody is watching them with you from across the Rainbow Bridge
This is a sweet comment.
I was interested in chasing since I was around 12. When Twister came out, I was hooked! Then a I became a geologist, but this is still a passion I live vicariously through others like you. Your videos are beautiful, educational, entertaining, and the music is relaxing and perfectly fitting for your style of videos. Many props to you Hank!
Woah glad to see there's another exactly like me haha
He makes the music too
Aren't some chasers taking people with them for a chase? Might be worth checking out.
I was in a tornado on December 11th. It wasn’t the same one that hit Mayfield, Ky. Our town was hit with an f-2. Scary to get a weather alert at 2:30am in the morning. Luckily there was no fatalities in my hometown. Thank you for including Mayfield in your video. 💜
Glad to hear everyone in your community made it through! That was a really scary night.
i live in georgia and i genuinely can’t remember a time where we had tornado warnings during the day 🥲 we’ll get tornado watches during the day but not tornado warnings
Glad you dodged that bullet. Cheers Casey.
@@misseselise3864 i agree with what your saying. most outbreaks in Georgia and the south I've watched were nighttime...
Confirmed again for 2021, Hank is still the coolest guy on RUclips. Always love your work. I can imagine how educational and just outright fun it would be to chase with you.
2022*
Your videos are so well produced. I don’t feel like I’m watching RUclips. It feels like something I’d see on the travel channel or something like that. Excellent!!
Better than that tbh
I have seen major motion pictures, Hollywood movies that do NOT have the camera shots, expertise, or clear cut views that this guy produces!! I don't know his background, but he SHOULD be a big time movie maker with his work here on RUclips alone. I know of no other channel on any subject or genre that has such good camera work!
well, a lot of his footage is on TV weather channels and I think Nat Geo. Pecos is a pro, we are just blessed he's willing to put footage on YT.
Excellent video as always, Hank! It was definitely a challenging season, but you found some golden moments out there. Hope to see you in 2022!
Yes 😊
E
Ye
He's basically a celebrity in our household. My 2 year old Loves his videos. He says "More tomatoes"! Wish we could get an autograph!!
Rip Jodi. :(
Really loving the work you do Hank. I'm new to the storm chasing videos and your backlog has been a joy to watch. Now I'm obsessed with storms.
"Testing my new drone and the big city signal interference." I lost it at the old-school plane crash sound effect and the 'stand of disappoint' after. Way to go, Hank!
I've been missing my favorite childhood show, Storm Chasers, a lot recently and it's so much fun to see new, well-filmed content without all the team vs team drama that show had. I love your editing, commentary, and getting to see all the friends you find along the way, human or not!
Reed timmer has a RUclips channel
That was a good show
Greetings from Czech Republic Hank! Let me do a honorable mention for tornado that passed through Moravia on the evening of 24th of June, which ended up being one of the most powerful tornadoes of 2021, ending the lives of 6 people and injuring more than 200. Mind you, this was the first significant tornado in Czechia since 2004 and first confirmed tornado since 2018, so that thing really came out of nowhere. Funny thing is, the evening before, I was preparing for an exam and saw in the news that a supercell is forming in Austria, and was thinking that maybe, just maybe, we could see a tornado. Hopefully we won't see anything like this in a long time, the videos from that day still gives me chills..
Thanks for contributing that information Jan.
The summer here in central europe really had some dangerous potential for tornadoes, we got more lucky here in Germany than Czechia though.
Great video. Really sorry about Jody, just because they had an incredible life full of fun and adventures doesn't make the loss any easier. So wonderful that you included him in your travels. Rest well Jody....
I was watching the storms on radar that evening on Dec 10 and sending screenshots to my friend who lives relatively close to where all those storms were. I was so far removed from the danger since I'm up in Canada that I didn't know how bad the situation really was and when I watched a cell pass over a town, I never really made the connection in my mind that I had watched a tornado hit that town so I was really surprised when I saw the aftermath in this video. Also, good job man!
I also have screenshots and I was close enough I heard two of them
Dec 10th was a scary night for my family and i ill never forget
It was the quad state tornado right?
It was a little too close for comfort for my kids living in Warren county. My son said, he could hear the "train" going overhead
@@aaamogusthespiderever2566 i dont think so i think that might be two close tornadoes idk for sure tho
Hank, I used to think the best job in the world was being a presenter of Top Gear, getting to travel to exotic places and drive exotic cars. This video changed all of that for me. Your photography is staggeringly beautiful man. And you also discovered and named an atmospheric phenomenon, so there’s that.
I’m always so sad when his videos end knowing that I won’t get this sense of thrill and exploration for another month or two when Hank drops his next video
that’s when u rewatch it 😌
@@heyitsnotmars for some reason they never get old!
@@Gekiko7167 i could watch them for hours i wish i could join him on a storm chase 🥺
yup thats when i start rewatching his videos lol
@@heyitsnotmars yas
Pecos Hank never disappoints. The calm, yet amazing ambiance of his videos is so much better than the usual screaming and chaos of other chasers. #gethankto1millionsubs
Floppa
Isn't "never fails to disappoint" negative? Wouldn't it be "never fails to satisfy" or smth?
"Never fails to disappoint" lmao
he always fails to disappoint
Lol wrong term but I feel like we get what you mean! You can edit comments if you'd like!
You popped up and I couldn't "not" see what you've been up to. You never disappoint! Familiar faces and their doggies. Condolences on the loss of your Jody.
Awesome video!
😍👍🏻
I pray for those who have passed every November. I pray for Jody. Also thank you Hank for being YOU! Love your videos!
Beautiful footage, Hank - whether storm or creature. You choked me up over Jody. Those of us chained to 8-5 jobs are jealous of her adventurous life! Thanks for the upload.
Between the badass storm imagery, the childlike glee and passion for the work, and your adoration and respect for earth's creatures, I look forward to these videos every single year!
Living down here in southern Kentucky and still seeing the damage everyday, it’s so interesting to see how powerful and terrifying, yet stunningly beautiful these monsters are. Thanks for sharing, Hank! Hope for some good catches this year!
Didn't northern Kentucky got hit with a power tornado a few months back? I donated $500 and some food/water/clothes to the victims of that tornado.. I could have been thinking about southern tornado, but I was thinking it was around Owensboro but not sure..
Still remains in Tennessee from March 3rd 2020
@@kingofkings69ner Much of Kentucky was impacted, but mostly southwestern Kentucky. But other states were also impacted almost as bad. You are a good person for donating
Kentucky :)
Texas Oklahoma Kansas get tornado
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you’ve helped me so much over the years! I have had a fear of high winds, tornados and storms since I was a kid. Once I was older I traveled a lot on my own and would come across some intense storms and such. Your videos helped me be more educated and prepared when traveling, it also opened the world of storms to me and made me less fearful when I’d get caught in one. ❤️
I get so much joy watching your videos. I really appreciate the time and care you put in to each one. I get as excited about seeing the animals as the tornadoes lol. Seriously, one of the most genuine people I have ever watched.
Thanks Christi. Cheers from Texas.
@@PecosHank Hope you got to see the Quad State tornado. It really devastated Mayfield. I'm upset how this tornado came without any warning. Good luck on your next tornado, Hank. Cheers from KY.
@@PecosHank when are you posting again it is tornado season
i've been watching you since 2017 and have never commented. i was there when the mayfield tornadoes happened, the closest one to my town dying out at rough river. so glad im still here watching the newest edition of 'tornadoes of' in 2022. thank you for making up part of my life!
Glad you're here too Kelsey. Thanks for watching all these years.
Same here Kelsey Im near Mayfield and my sirens went off and none of us woke up luckily no tornado hit us
As someone who lives in a place that is lucky to get three thunder-days a year this is amazing. Beautifully presented Hank. Thank you.
I absolutely love when you do the guitar strokes to compliment the sprites shooting up in the sky, beautiful editing and such a good video. Always look forward to Pecos Hank videos
I just wanna say I truly appreciate what you and all other storm chasers do. You risk your safety to bring us these incredible footages of storms, and not only that but you educate us and also stop to help animals along the way. Truly, truly amazing work, thank you for what you do!
It was only 26 minutes, but it felt like an hour. It's always a good day when you upload Hank! Thanks for the great content!
I know he’s the best
I didn’t want it to end!
I love Hank! but I was not thrilled with the first 26 minutes so I fast-forwarded LOL
I wish it was longer lol. It was over before i knew it
Living in Daviess County, Kentucky during the December tornado outbreak, I have to say it's a scary thing, I have no idea how you and other storm chasers manage to go out there and activley seek this dangerous force of nature, massive respect to you and all others in your field
I'm in the flight school at Liberty University and in our weather class my professor would show some of your videos to illustrate thunderstorms. You have some helpful stuff!
Yo my brother went to college there lol
Ever since I was young, I’ve had immense fear of storms (mostly tornadoes) and after finding this channel, my fears have eased away because I understand how the storms work now, so thanks a lot for all the help
Same
I love how you pull so much footage together and add narration to both inform and entertain. I always look forward to your videos.
Well said. Ditto if I may.
You make everything better. This should be nationally televised. Great content. Nothing this great should be unnoticed.
ahhh yes the annual tornados of the year is a must watch no matter who you are.
thank you pecos hank for being you and sharing your adventure with everyone.
Hands down the best weather channel on RUclips, even with low amounts of photogenic tornados. I love how you focus on lightning, too. A lot of storm chasers seem to ignore it.
Hank, your videos have pushed me to start studying meteorology and I couldn't thank you enough. I've been watching your videos for years now and now that I've finally gotten into college studying Meteorology is finally within my grasp. Thank you Hank for all of your hard work, you stay safe out there.
What’s it like studying meteorology in college? I’ve been fascinated in weather since I was n pre k loll
As a divorced dad missing my daughters (with their mom) Thankyou for giving amazing content to the world , content thst with the ambiance , the music and images, wind and rain puts my mind at ease enough to sleep , I appreciate it! Beautiful!
Hope your doing better a month later
I love your channel and your content Hank. I'm terrified of storms but for some reason you make me want to go out and chase them myself. It's like getting hunted in your own home vs just watching them in the Savannah where there's relatively zero risk
i remember being in 2nd grade and wanting to be a "tornado chaser". still want to. love your videos, hank!
Same
I wanted to be a storm chaser as well in 2nd grade, I guess everyone goes through a tornado phase!
Same. Although for me it'd involve going to the other side of the world.
I used to brag in 3rd grade because I knew what a meteorologist was lol
0:53 That sound effect in conjunction with drone just sliiiding off the roof and Hank's reaction just absolutely cracks me up. Hope the drone was okay
I love that Pecos usually has animals in his storm chasing videos! He's either bringing one along or helping out a wild animal; this is beautiful to see. 💗
Hank, I appreciate the things you've done to really bring the community together. Watching your videos for over 8 years has set me to be a storm chaser here in a few years and the coverage of the damage from the December 10-11 outbreak really shows a lot to what storms can do. When my hometown of Mayfield, KY was hit by the tornado, I went there 20 minutes after it went through and helped people where I could. Like honestly, you showing footage is one thing, but living through the nightmare and seeing the devastation firsthand really separated the bonds of cinema and reality to make people more aware of what the country is going through. God bless you and I can't wait to maybe one day meet you while I kick back on days off and watch your mesmerizing videos.
Hank, you have inspired me to go to college for meteorology. You've been my biggest influence when it comes to my future career, and for that, I can never thank you enough. Keep doing what you're doing and stay safe! I always look forward to your uploads. So thank you Hank, happy trails!
Cheers Circleboi. Enjoy all that math. :D
@@PecosHank lol Math is why I didn't try to go for a meteorology degree. Physics and calculus type stuff...NOPE! 😅
@@PecosHank Mmmmmmm..... Math.......... yum yum yum. And a side of physics! With a little chemistry for desert!
Between this channel and RyanHallYall, my fear of storms is slowly diminishing. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful content and education!
I'm working on diminishing that same fear, Pecos Hank and Storm Chaser Daniel have awesome videos to help with that, I tried with Red Timmer but he's WAY too high energy for me right now
Hank, I just wanted to say how much you've inspired me as a person and as an artist. I rewatch your videos every time i need to focus, or just when I need a laugh or to hear your voice. Every time a tiny storm comes over where I'm at, I always pop outside and think of your videos. Even though I'm still fairly young, you've solidified something in my mind about storms. The weather, and the unknown.
Thank you so much for the joy and laughs you've brought to this community, and to me personally.
Hank I just want you to know that you are an inspiration to me and you have inspired me to do a meteorology class in university, and do storm chasing part time, soon full time hopefully. My family didn’t want me to do this but because of you and your videos I am still doing it. I live in Canada and there aren’t much tornadoes here, most of them EF0, but there was an EF4 in a town near me a few years ago, so hopefully I find more of those. However, I am considering taking a vacation to texas and Oklahoma this spring, and hopefully we can see some tornadoes together. Thank you Mr. Hank. Love and support from Canada
Good luck, friend! Tornado Alley will have plenty to show you. Be safe and happy chasing!
@@daorignaldumbucket thank you so so much bro
Good luck Abraham. Stay safe.
@@PecosHank thank your sir.
I was near the TN, Kentucky, etc. outbreak. That was terrifying tbh. Great storm chasing to you!
I was in Arkansas, we got hit with the tail-end of the storm, and just that was bad. Can’t imagine what it was like closer to the center of the storm.
I was in Kentucky
We had just set up a storm shelter prior, but couldn’t go in it yet as it hadn’t been set up for someone who is disabled in our household, and we just went with a no man left behind stand point. We had to stay up till 6am. One of the EF1s was in my same county but I don’t think it hit us, the wind was pretty bad, so it might’ve grazed us. It was too dark to really see if any were there, that’s what makes severe weather at night so much worse.
@@scarletfox7080 Yes - I hate night storms/tornado watches. I want to see what’s coming! I used to live in Georgia and they always seemed to hit at might. I’ve been in Florida for 2 years now and have only had 2 tornado watches that I could tell weren’t going to produce anything. I can feel the pressure drop that comes with a tornado because of arthritis. Now, I just have to listen for hurricanes coming!
@@amymeyers9682 Ur the second comment I've read about Nighttime Georgia tornadoes and can confirm any outbreaks i can remember happened at night.. most of the tornado outbreaks down in dixie alley happened at night !.
This footage is clearly edited perfectly and your storytelling masterfully done. You are an impressive young man! My grandson and I love watching these together. God bless you, keep you safe and happy.
I’m Chief Blackfeather and you are amazing and one of the kindest people on the road out there. Proud to follow and watch you.
Your videos truly are something else. I find your way calmness so refreshing after the always over-the-top screamfests you usually see in tornado chasing videos.
Usually it's 95% screaming, car shots, and confusion, and then like 1 minute of a tornado from some weird angle.
WIth you it's exclusively fantastic footage, with some nice quiet moments with cute animals mixed in.
This is legit the only channel I have enabled notifications for. Hank always makes amazing videos.
I love how you educate and get excited about everything you show, but you always remain respectful of the power the storms have, its never really blown out to be more than it is. A lot of shows I've seen do that for the drama and the views but I love how relaxed you are in your tellings, even with the big storms its still a very respectful, "relaxed" atmosphere which makes it easy to learn from
Never thought a weather video could be so AMAZING, and an emotional rollercoaster, from Jody to Dino....and those sprites - never ever knew those existed. VERY COOL VIDEO. Fan for sure.
Hank should have his own show on tv where he talks about his adventures and stories either if it's recent or years back. You're a legend hank! Keep up the good work and I wish you luck for the 2022 tornado season
Absolutly!!
Agreed!
Hank I would’ve never gotten into storm chasing without your videos! When I’m older and on my own I want to go storm chasing and paint the weather as I go. Thank you for the amazing videos and inspiration!
These yearly round-ups deserve so much more YT love and support... excellent photography, music and editing with a perfectly toned narration. :)
This man deserved 1 mil subs a long time ago it’s gonna happen soon but he should have 5 mil by now the footage Hank gets for us to see is incredible! Been subbed since 200k keep up the good work! ❤️
Yeah, the end of the year's storms were devastating, I was in between two tornados, the closest one leveling the downtown area of a nearby town, it doesn't really feel real until you slowly go by the destruction, hoping everyone made it out okay. It was especially sad because it was close to Christmas, and spirits were high, and some people had everything torn away from them. Then, the very start of the year had my county with two tornado warnings, the eerie silence coupled with the tornado sirens outside after the New Year had begun made it feel like a horror movie..
My birth mother says she still can't watch tornado footage without feeling and hearing the one that ripped over her house as s child. The wind and freight train sounds. They moved out of Ohio a few months later to a non tornado prone area
Yeah, they are very traumatizing, where I used to live one almost hit our house and I still remember the sound of it until this day.
@@Alphawolfsnowy0 she lived through an ef 4/5. They aren't sure if it downgrade before or after her house. It was in 1985 and she definitely has ptsd. I remember a tornado warning as a kid and her putting us in the bathtub with mattress over us. And nothing ever happened.
I have no idea what level the one that almost hit my house when I was younger, but I remember a tornado warning as well and my parents stuffing us in the closet with a portable radio
@@Alphawolfsnowy0 I'm glad you are okay.
Holy moly, I missed ya last year hank!
Hope chasing was fun!
Hank, you've honestly become one of my favorite channels. I turn on a video and just get lost in the gorgeous cinematography and awesome power of the tornadoes you and you colleagues film. Thank you for the years of amazing content! Also love to see you visit Arkansas at some point.
RUclips captions never fail me. Burrito is the definitely the new word for tornado. A wind burrito.
End of year recaps from you are the one thing I look forward to during this part of the year. A nice respite during in my opinion, the hardest stretch of school. Thanks very much Hank!
Love your content hank. Keep it going never stop chasing
This was so great to watch, I loved every aspect of it. The filming and pictures are spectacular! But the narration, the people behind the storm chasers, the animals and the beautiful landscape made it into so much more, like I got a glimpse into the whole sensation of being there, even though Im about 9.000km away, watching on a laptop in a country that barely even knows the phenomenon.
Thats a masterpiece you got there and I I wouldnt be surprised if some bigger company might notice and make an offer for a documentation like this. Thank you for sharing your work, its deeply appreciated!
2:21 he says they’re ruining the shot but honestly I think they make for a very instantly iconic shot, so classic just having a bunch of cows with a burrito in the background
I live in southern Missouri, about 5 minutes away from one of the tornadoes in that December outbreak
Was curious to see what you had to say about it.
Amazing footage as usual!
Love your videos 💕
I’ve always been fascinated by storms, so being able to watch your adventures and everything you get to experience is something I am truly grateful for!
We had to hide in a gas station freezer in Steele, Mo while on the way to Memphis in the storm. Good times lol
Good stuff like usual.
Wanted to ask - rewatched your “Top 10 Tornadoes.” Have there been any you’ve caught since then (late 2016) that would replace any of the tors you included on that list?
Hey Ethan. Tipton Kansas in 2019 and Madill OK in 2020 for sure.
@@PecosHank yeah, those were some amazing catches. Best of luck in 2022, here’s hoping for more photogenic storms this year (& more precip out here in the West. Done with this drought)
This has become a sort of yearly ritual, crack open a beer, and watch amazing cinematography with a hilarious undertone! Thank you for the consistent efforts, it's a true joy watching your videos!
I wasn't expecting to cry watching this video. Fly high sweet Jody.
Love Hank’s yearly tornado wrap up videos! The editing and voiceover tell a story of scary atmospheric events accompanied by images of heart pounding meteorological phenomena! Nice job as always👊🏼
Truly one of my favorite RUclipsrs. I find it difficult to find people who can balance education, entertainment, and quality, but Hank can do all of these. Winning personality and an incredibly talented.
Good stuff as always Hank! Those back-to-back systems in December won't be forgotten. It was tough watching that supercell track for so long through town after town. Here in MN, the same system dumped 20" of snow in places. All of it was gone after a foggy 50+ degree day on the 15th, and MN went from 0 recorded tornadoes in history in the month of December to 22. Dec 15 was also the most tornadoes in one day for 2021. Here's to an equally wild (but less deadly) 2022!
the part where he said '' it wasent me '' was so funny. Keep it up Hank you are AWSOMEE btw ty for all the videos i really enjoy them
*In honor of the Unites States, Jody is and will be recognized as the national symbol for loyalty. R.I.P to Jody, who left us all too soon, she was a great companion to all the stormchasers, and she will be forevermore missed. Although she's gone, she's forever in our hearts and minds. Sleep well, Jody, and thank you for your service! And also thank you to all the stormchasers who help save thousands of lives by educating us and sharing this valuable information with the news!*
While I hate the destruction they cause… it’s unbelievably amazing to watch these videos.
I found you in 2018 and I’ve learned so much and had so much fun watching your videos, thank you Hank
R.i.p Jodi may you forever chase tornados in heaven bb ❤️
I'm so so happy to see you back again Hank!! Can't wait for more content also heyo red sprites! Also hope everyone in the tornado that went through Kentucky is OK I dodged a bullet while visiting family there. I flew out less than a week before it hit I'm glad to say all my family is alright nest wishes to everyone else
?
I was not prepared to cry! So beautifully done. Thank you for all the effort and time you spend making these videos!
I've lived in Tornado Alley my whole life and always thought they were the most terrifying things ever, but I never realized just how beautiful they could be until a funnel cloud about a week ago in my county (I didn't actually see it. I just remember that a bunch of other people in my neighborhood did) peaked my interest and I started watching tornado videos. Now I realize just how much majesty there is to these insane forces of nature. They're still terrifying, of course (I almost lost my grandma in the December 10th EF4s. It barely missed her, but leveled three houses across the street from her. Her house was still damaged from the wind, though, and she still hasn't been able to repair her house completely), and I don't think I could ever have the guts to be a storm chaser and try to get that close to one, but I have a new respect for tornadoes. That first low precipitation supercell you showed was absolutely gorgeous. You definitely succeeded in getting some very photogenic tornadoes. And I had never heard of sprites before. What in the world are those? They're so beautiful!
Also, I absolutely love your respect for animals. The way to handle them makes me see that you are truly a man who appreciates nature. In regards to both storms and animals.
Between the photography, red sprites, lightening storms, doogos, wildlife and overall presentation, you are an artist.
I've only been watching you only for about a year, but now your one of my favorite channels to watch and follow. Ever since middle school I've had a fascination towards tornadoes and your only helping fuel that fascination. Stay safe and God bless, Hank.
Always a great day when you upload! Also nearing on the big 1 million subs mark and you 100% deserve it for the effort you put into the vids. Been watching since 2013, keep up the great work!
That rainbow 🌈 tornado 🌪 shot is absolutely amazing… I didn’t know that was even possible !!! Stunning 🤩 beautiful 😍 phenomenal 😍
