Hello and Greetings! I'm from Bangladesh, and we share a tragic history with both tornadoes and tropical cyclones. But, we are resilient, rebuilding and coming back stronger every time. 🌪🇺🇸🤝🇧🇩🌪
@summit_sayem, my heart goes out to you and your people. Can you tell me, have efforts been made in your country to establish early warning systems, like we have here in the U.S.?
@@ldcraig2006 Hello and thank you for your kind words. 🙏 The reported severe weather incidents with mass casualties occurred between the early 70s and late 80s, during a time when Bangladesh was devastated and still recovering from the aftermath of our gruesome 1971 war for independence. Our warning systems, civilian infrastructure and storm shelters were not adequate at that time to prevent such tragedies. Today, Bangladesh is fully equipped, comparable to advanced countries like the U.S. in managing severe weather. To provide some insight to your question, I can cite an example of how we handled "Cyclone Remal" recently in 2024, which became crowned as the costliest known tropical cyclone in our history. Tropical cyclones, particularly during cyclone season from May-April, are the most detrimental events and cause the most damage due to our geographical location. The U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) began tracking the cyclonic circulation system in the Bay of Bengal on 21st May 2024, and by 24th May, issued a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert (TCFA). On 26th May, the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) issued an advance distress signal code 10 for coastal districts. Around 8,000-9,000 shelters were readied and stocked in the nearby areas to house 800,000 evacuated people, and operations at Chittagong's largest sea port were suspended. The army, fire service, volunteers, and other government institutions were ready for post-storm rescue. Although the cyclone claimed 19 lives, nearly a million people were effectively evacuated to safety. Bangladesh has come a long way in building resilience against natural disasters, and while challenges remain, we continue to improve our response and preparedness to protect the people.

Not many people in America know about how many bad tornadoes have happened in Bangladesh, or even how meteorologically-supportive that area is for tornadogenesis. The Ganges River valley is like Tornado Alley's angry little brother. Fascinating how many tornado alleys there are in the world. Great vid
Bangladesh also has a tragic history of intense, super deadly cyclone/hurricanes. It is estimated that the Bhola Cyclone in 1970 killed over 500,000 people. 😔 Sadly, I think even with shelters and warnings, they would have a higher death toll per tornado simply because of the crazy population density and relatively poor construction. But yea, they gotta get some warning systems and shelters all the same! (I'm actually not sure how much that has or has not happened in recent years).
Unfortunately a big part of the problem Bangladesh has is not only the dense population but the fact that a good bit of said dense population lives in poverty. They can't afford to make well-built homes or shelters so they cobble together whatever they can with what little they have. It's less that all the tornadoes there are terrifyingly bad and more that a lot of people live in the equivalent of a US trailer park in the 1960s. No shelters, no warnings, nowhere to run. I can't imagine the absolute chaos and horror these storms cause when they occur.
Unfortunate fact - the deadliest tropical cyclone (hurricane) globally also hit Bangladesh - it’s estimated half a MILLION people died in 1970 from a tropical cyclone. Remarkable given the topography of the region. Still today, Bangladesh still has massive casualties from even weak tropical cyclones. What does Mother Nature have against this tiny country?
From what I've heard from another weather youtube video, the main reason it was as deadly as it was was because at the time Bangladesh was still a part of Pakistan, and the Pakistani leader felt they wouldn't vote for him so he made sure no warning was issued so that the cyclone would get rid of them, thus securing his win in the election (he lost because it was found out what he did, but he decided to stay in power anyway) Edit: no idea why it double posted
I really like the fact that people are talking about tornadoes in Bangladesh. Bangladesh (and by extension ALL of South Asia) has seen some of the most devastating weather events in modern history and yet no one is mentioning them. Really appreciate this video!
I guarantee a big part of why we don't hear as much about it here in the states is the language barrier and, related to that, getting footage from those areas.
Soooooo at 0:14 the automated captions say 'Despite the high burrito count, the death toll has been surprisingly low.' And I thought that was very funny.
0:57 I was on the same road as you looking at the damage a few days later... lucky from what i saw not too many houses were damaged were you were. Stay safe out there, and keep on chasing!
As an OK native, my wife won't watch your vids, but she LISTENS to all of them. I'm a Texan, but she prefers your accent to mine... Says she could listen to you read the phone book.
@@MichaelRei99 LMAO.... I wrote a whole reply until I "got it"... Ty, I like to think we're both great natives. She is still freaked out by tornado vids though. Me? I grew up in the Texas Hill Country. We didn't get as many there.
Bangladesh is scary with how densely populated they are, my heart goes out to everyone who lost their lives and family lives who were killed all across the world, not to mention Bangladesh’s population is getting worse as immigrants are coming in 😢
Oh wow, it seems that particular problem is happening to so many countries lately :( legal or illegal? I can't imagine wanting to go to Bangladesh. It says a lot that the government has either never cared to mandate that its population have better buildings and better defenses against these devastating tornados...either never cared to do it, or been financially unable to do it. The houses aren't built with tornado basement shelters - how hard can it be to dig out a basement if you're building even a low-quality basic house? Maybe I'm just too privileged here in America, used to houses with plenty of building codes and regulations involved in their construction; to understand how badly off they are...I don't know.
my great grsndma was a young mother at that point of the 1925 Tri State tornado. She survived, being lucky, but she never had a house without a storm cellar after that pointl
They can happen nearly anywhere, weather patterns permitting; some areas have geographies more conducive to forming these weather patterns than others. Patagonia, Bangladesh, and the Great Plains are the major tornado hot spots.
I’d heard about the 1989 tornado in Bangladesh before, but had no idea how many other notable ones there were in the country. Hopefully their warning systems are more up to date nowadays.
Probably not. It’s a poor country. I wish we could send the Peace Corps and some meteorologists to help them set up sirens and radars and computers with predictive capabilities.
Main reason of tornado in Bangladesh are so deadly because people in Bangladesh don't even know Bangladesh got tornadoes.And most time they occurs in rural but densely populated areas.That's why should give more warning and knowledge to people there about tornadoes.
From India . All I can say is , unlike in the US , there are no guaranteed seasonal patterns of Tornadoes here , unlike Cyclones ( Pre Monsoon cyclone season in May & Post Monsoon Cyclone season from October till December , with occasionally one or two strong cyclones in Arabian sea during monsoon season ) . Compared that to Tornado , they are like One or Two confirmed Tornadoes in Indian subcontinent alone anually . Maybe 5 or 6 if the local weather is strong .
@Qubic_ I was very worried for the Frisco/Mckinney area that night. It was bad enough Valley View got hit the worst. Thankfully it didn't intensify in that area.
even though my year is going terribly so far, you never fail to bring me smiles & informative content, thanks for being one of the little things i look forward to, hank
The vast majority of cars available in 1925 couldn't outrun the Tri-State Burrito, even on an actual paved road. Not only was there no escape, many observers said it just looked like a roiling cloud instead of a wedge or funnel. "That's a heck of a dust storm coming, Martha!"
Hello Hank! I’ve been a viewer since the pandemic and I just wanted to say you’re my favorite storm chaser and I love every one of your videos. Keep safe on your travels!!
pecos has such nice accent,good likable story telling and he even puts the effort in to convert things from emperial to metric. you dont see maby channels do that unfortunetly
awesome video, Hank, I knew the stats about poor Bangladesh before, and why it has such powerful Burritos too. Their Burrito season is very short, luckily, and they are very slowly working on improving the warning systems, and trying to improve infastructure so less people will die in the next, inevitable Burrito attack. What about those German Burritos, and the ones in Italy, especially that waterspout swarm that came ashore in Sicily in the 1500's? Deadly Burritos have been eating people for a long time, scary!
As soon as Hank uploads i finally recorded my first lightning of 2024. A distant storm over the North Sea. I originally thought they were sprites but ive got no way of confirming or denying without footage.
It's got to be fate. After work yesterday, wife and I went and saw Twisters. After work today, I get home to be treated to Pecos Hank. It's a beautiful thing.
@@evilsharkey8954 I had fun with it. To be fair, though, the original is immensely nostalgic for me since I used to watch it with my mom all the time when I was young. The new one gets pretty ridiculous at times, there's a heavy mix of really dumb nonsense with a sprinkling of references to the known science, but if you can turn off the brain for a bit then it's s fun time. And if you can't, then it's still fun to laugh at the silly things they got wrong or the full on Sci-Fi type stuff they made up. Fun either way IMO.
@@TheManBehindtheScreen If I could tolerate two people flapping in the wind of an EF-5 tornado without being shredded to a pulp, I can probably handle what this one has to offer. Twister is a popcorn flick.
@@evilsharkey8954 exactly, and Twisters is in the same vein. Way I see it, if you like the first one, you'll probably like the second, too, even though some of the stuff they do in it is objectively dumber.
Hello Hank, I wanted to say, thank you, you've always been one of my favorite chasers even as a toddler, and I'm glad you're still uploading today. Thanks for the brilliant content.
Hello Hank! I’ve been watching your videos for maybe about 8 years now. And i gotta say, you deserve a lot. Your videos are probably the only documentaries I watch, because the work you put into your documentaries never fails to amaze me. You put your life on risk just for us. Also, Greetings from Turkey! 🇹🇷
There had been a debate whether the Tri-State Tornado was actually a single continuous tornado, or was a family of tornadoes. Around 2010 the NWS did an extensive study on the Tri-State Tornado. They found that not only was it one continuous tornado, but that the path was about 7 miles longer than previously thought!
Not a single disllike. Keep doing awesome videos Pecos! Always love it having you pop in my feed. We never know in Kansas how things will shape up to be until the last minute..
Always a treat to watch Pecos Hank up load a video! Somewhat gruesome information, but informative and interesting to hear more on science of Tornadoes and other Coubtries experience with Tornadoes, Thank You Sir and much luck to you and your family. HAPPY TRAILS!
My grandfather was 5 years old and lived just a bit north of the Tri-State's path. He passed away in 2022 and I really regret not asking him about it...
Ah this makes my afternoon better. After having a pretty bad day I get a 15 break between Psych work and will spend it with a Pecos Hank video in that time!
0:14 "Despite the high burrito count, the death toll has been surprisingly low." Thank you closed captions that's exactly what Pecos Hank was talking about 🙏
It’s a miracle how far warnings have come for tornados. I just hope one day soon we can get to a point where even if an EF5 tornado goes through a populated area there are no deaths
I recently learned of how devastating tornadoes are in Bangladesh from watching Carly WX. However, I had no idea _that many_ human beings had been killed in that time frame there. And as Carly correctly reminds everyone, it isn’t _just_ the deaths, but the horrific, life-long injuries the survivors suffer that matters. Thank you for also bringing further attention to this, Hank.
Watching new Hank uploads is like experiencing a game you hadn’t played in a year after it received a ton of updates It’s always fresh and entertaining no matter how many times you watch him Edit: now that I think about it, it feels like I’ve seen this video already. Reupload possible? Edit2: nvm it’s just the tri state part that I’ve seen on one of his other videos
Hello, i'm a huge fan from South Brazil, i knew you went to Uruguay before, supercells aren't very common in South America. The last time a tornado crossed in my city's rural area was in 2017, it was an EF1 like tornado. I really love your work, hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Pecos Hank thank you so much for being not only my number one favorite tornado chaser but you’re a teacher, a mentor and a friend. Your videos captivate everything from fascination to grief, heart-wrenching moments and wisdom that the public can learn from. I sincerely congratulate you. Greetings from Houston, Texas. -Maximiliano Krays- 🇻🇪
Love your videos, you were the one who always made me intrested in going outside during a storm just to look at clouds or lightning and one time I actually saw a funnel forming just above my house, it was a pretty big one but it didn’t completely form
Who else remembers the day of the Nebraska twins?! I sure do! That outbreak in 2014 was insane. We haven't had any incredible tornadoes like that in 10 years. And with the way storms come and go in Nebraska, we're overdue for a tornado like that again. I haven't seen one up close since 2009, (the Aurora Nebraska, 2009 EF3 tornado.) That one was right in my backyard.
0:50 that storm scared me because it tracked closer to Melissa Texas which is where I live, and I didn’t know if it was on the ground or not I couldn’t chase it, had to go in for work. Anyways. The only photo that was taken was near the Buccees in melissa had a very low wall cloud, so I was scared..
Living there and storms like these being a reality of your life, what scares you most about them? Nighttime storm catching you off guard? Being in an unfamiliar place when a storm occurs? Or just the threat of a powerful storm in your area?
@@HarrisonHollers cause there was a potential tornado on ground from a storm that had produced a violent/long track one an hour because it was close to my house as I had to go into work near same time.

Man it's been years I have been watching you amazing videos!🤩
awesome video, Hank, I knew the stats about poor Bangladesh before, and why it has such powerful Burritos too. Their Burrito season is very short, luckily, and they are very slowly working on improving the warning systems, and trying to improve infastructure so less people will die in the next, inevitable Burrito attack.
What about those German Burritos, and the ones in Italy, especially that waterspout swarm that came ashore in Sicily in the 1500's? Deadly Burritos have been eating people for a long time, scary!
174 million people in an area the size of Oklahoma. Luckily tornadoes are pretty rare rare there. Ever grateful for ya Baldevi.
As soon as Hank uploads i finally recorded my first lightning of 2024. A distant storm over the North Sea. I originally thought they were sprites but ive got no way of confirming or denying without footage.
Geniunely my favorite channel on youtube, so chill and fun to watch while eating. Much love man 💟
Pecos Hank is back baby! Happy trails!
It's got to be fate. After work yesterday, wife and I went and saw Twisters.
After work today, I get home to be treated to Pecos Hank.
It's a beautiful thing.
Was the movie any good?
@@evilsharkey8954 I had fun with it. To be fair, though, the original is immensely nostalgic for me since I used to watch it with my mom all the time when I was young. The new one gets pretty ridiculous at times, there's a heavy mix of really dumb nonsense with a sprinkling of references to the known science, but if you can turn off the brain for a bit then it's s fun time. And if you can't, then it's still fun to laugh at the silly things they got wrong or the full on Sci-Fi type stuff they made up. Fun either way IMO.
@@TheManBehindtheScreen If I could tolerate two people flapping in the wind of an EF-5 tornado without being shredded to a pulp, I can probably handle what this one has to offer. Twister is a popcorn flick.
@@evilsharkey8954 exactly, and Twisters is in the same vein. Way I see it, if you like the first one, you'll probably like the second, too, even though some of the stuff they do in it is objectively dumber.
Hello Hank, I wanted to say, thank you, you've always been one of my favorite chasers even as a toddler, and I'm glad you're still uploading today. Thanks for the brilliant content.
Thanks for joining the journey Leo.
I love your channel! You're #1 in my top 10 of tornado channels :D
Hello Hank! I’ve been watching your videos for maybe about 8 years now. And i gotta say, you deserve a lot. Your videos are probably the only documentaries I watch, because the work you put into your documentaries never fails to amaze me. You put your life on risk just for us. Also, Greetings from Turkey! 🇹🇷
There had been a debate whether the Tri-State Tornado was actually a single continuous tornado, or was a family of tornadoes. Around 2010 the NWS did an extensive study on the Tri-State Tornado. They found that not only was it one continuous tornado, but that the path was about 7 miles longer than previously thought!
Not a single disllike. Keep doing awesome videos Pecos! Always love it having you pop in my feed. We never know in Kansas how things will shape up to be until the last minute..
Thank you Hank for the History of some of the worst tornadoes. I love your videos.
Be safe out there.
The 1925 tornado is the reason my family moved out West, it destroyed whole communities. I wish I still had the family photos of the aftermath.
Thanks for the video hank
Thanks for the reminder that devestating tornado events occur in places other than the U.S.. Great video. Good to see ya!
Always a treat to watch Pecos Hank up load a video! Somewhat gruesome information, but informative and interesting to hear more on science of Tornadoes and other Coubtries experience with Tornadoes, Thank You Sir and much luck to you and your family. HAPPY TRAILS!
My grandfather was 5 years old and lived just a bit north of the Tri-State's path. He passed away in 2022 and I really regret not asking him about it...
Ah this makes my afternoon better. After having a pretty bad day I get a 15 break between Psych work and will spend it with a Pecos Hank video in that time!
Pecos "Quality not Quantity" Hank strikes again!
0:14 "Despite the high burrito count, the death toll has been surprisingly low." Thank you closed captions that's exactly what Pecos Hank was talking about 🙏
He’s got to be the best storm chaser and storm videographer out there! Love your videos man!
Always a good day when you upload! Thanks Hank
Gotta love it when Pecos Hank uploads!
Sending much love, Hank. We appreciate you. Happy trails. 😊
you know it's a good day when pecos hank uploads
Let’s go u posted! This is very terrifying tbh.
The way he says "Sweet dreams everyone" at the end sounds like a threat
It’s a miracle how far warnings have come for tornados. I just hope one day soon we can get to a point where even if an EF5 tornado goes through a populated area there are no deaths
2:29 - "Deep River," a Spiritual about crossing to the afterlife, underneath the voiceover. Very appropriate music.
The legend is back
I recently learned of how devastating tornadoes are in Bangladesh from watching Carly WX. However, I had no idea _that many_ human beings had been killed in that time frame there. And as Carly correctly reminds everyone, it isn’t _just_ the deaths, but the horrific, life-long injuries the survivors suffer that matters.
Thank you for also bringing further attention to this, Hank.
It’s always a good day when Pecos Hank uploads
He is the best tornado RUclipsr❤❤❤❤
I was thinking, I need some Pecos Hank time!!! He never disappoints!
We all need Pecos Hank time anytime. Happy trails.
Watching new Hank uploads is like experiencing a game you hadn’t played in a year after it received a ton of updates
It’s always fresh and entertaining no matter how many times you watch him
Edit: now that I think about it, it feels like I’ve seen this video already. Reupload possible?
Edit2: nvm it’s just the tri state part that I’ve seen on one of his other videos
Thanks for watching that section again. It had to be in there.
if i was the king of the world i would give pecos hank worldwide jurisdiction and a billion dollars
Pecos Hank Uploaded!!! I love the King Contrary Man song! Also love the video man, keep it up!
I've been binge watching Pecos Hank's videos for the past week, so glad I got to this video early
It's a damn good day when Pecos Hank uploads!
Hello, i'm a huge fan from South Brazil, i knew you went to Uruguay before, supercells aren't very common in South America. The last time a tornado crossed in my city's rural area was in 2017, it was an EF1 like tornado. I really love your work, hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷
Cheers from Texas Matt.
Interestingly, Patagonia is one of the very few tornado hot-spots in the world.
You know its a good day when Pecos Hank uploads
Just what I needed after work...leftover pizza, cold beer, and a Pecos hank video❤
Makes me feel a bit more cosmopolitan, if not more safe! Thanks, Hank! 🌪️
Love these informative videos. We need more of them!!!
The horses in the beginning:"ＮＡＥＥ" (translationof the horses: ITS ON THE GROUND!!!)
Wake up bestie, Hank posted another amazing and informative video! Thanks for being an awesome inspiration in both science and music!
Always a good day when pecos uploads
I genuinely get excited to see a pecos post
Pecos Hank thank you so much for being not only my number one favorite tornado chaser but you’re a teacher, a mentor and a friend. Your videos captivate everything from fascination to grief, heart-wrenching moments and wisdom that the public can learn from. I sincerely congratulate you. Greetings from Houston, Texas.
-Maximiliano Krays- 🇻🇪
I freaked out when I saw the notification amazing video, Hank!
Babe wake up! Pecos Hank posted!
Love your videos, you were the one who always made me intrested in going outside during a storm just to look at clouds or lightning and one time I actually saw a funnel forming just above my house, it was a pretty big one but it didn’t completely form
You’re the best Tornado/wearher RUclipsr ever! Keep up your good work!
A new Pecos Hank video is always a great way to end a day
Whooooo let's go! New Pecos Hank drop means a good time.
Dropping everything to watch my favorite RUclipsr
It feels illegal to watch a Pecos Hank Video before 8 P.M.
Who else remembers the day of the Nebraska twins?! I sure do! That outbreak in 2014 was insane. We haven't had any incredible tornadoes like that in 10 years. And with the way storms come and go in Nebraska, we're overdue for a tornado like that again. I haven't seen one up close since 2009, (the Aurora Nebraska, 2009 EF3 tornado.) That one was right in my backyard.
Gotta say, i’m loving the design of the visual effects, maps, and other data in this video. Not sure if you edited this yourself, but it looks great.
I always get so happy when Pecos posts new videos. My dream one day is to tornado chase with him🥺🌪️🌫️⛈️
you should make a documentary on how we rate tornadoes that are during a hurricane
0:50 that storm scared me because it tracked closer to Melissa Texas which is where I live, and I didn’t know if it was on the ground or not I couldn’t chase it, had to go in for work. Anyways. The only photo that was taken was near the Buccees in melissa had a very low wall cloud, so I was scared..
Living there and storms like these being a reality of your life, what scares you most about them? Nighttime storm catching you off guard? Being in an unfamiliar place when a storm occurs? Or just the threat of a powerful storm in your area?
@@HarrisonHollers cause there was a potential tornado on ground from a storm that had produced a violent/long track one an hour because it was close to my house as I had to go into work near same time.
I had a 6th sense last night that Pecos Hank was going to drop a video tonight. Lo and behold my intuition was correct!! Totally made my day!
Love ya narration by each year for every tornado always Hank! @PecosHank
Late night upload? Guess i aint sleeping til i watch this! Jokes aside, another great video as always!
