The amount of tornado chasers seems to have increased drastically over the past few years, keep safe! Love from the UK!

[@derekwhite9932]

He has been doing it for like 20 years. His channel is amazing.

[@StillFunkyB]

Seems like a lot more Tornado tourists. I think people should let the pros chase the Naders. I am perfectly happy watching the videos and live streams far away from the danger.

[@Broody58]

It looks to me as if they've got too much trust in these things. Too many bugs in one place, to bug out. How's it said..if it goes wrong, it will, & at the worse possible moment. Too many..too close. ( single lane roads too)

[@soulivan827]

@@derekwhite9932 He's talking about the people in his video, pulling over to the side.

[@everythingsalright1121]

Hank has complained about people driving around trying to get a good look or snap pictures before in other videos. Not only are they a hazard by crowding the roads, they are 99% usually unaware of the dangers of tornadoes; RFDs, hail, and wind extending beyond the visible funnel causing them to get way too close/stay too long and lose their lives.

[@AndyWarpol]

Unlike EVERYONE else who films these videos, thank you so much for staying calm and not ruining your footage with screaming and hysterics. We adore you. Never stop.

[@lilblackduc7312]

I agree! 🇺🇸 👍☕

[@DogsRNice]

It's so obnoxious when they start screaming stuff like "THERES A TORNADO LOOK AT IT"

[@cobrellie]

[@danoconnell1833]

I was just going to say this. "Professional" chasers, screaming like children who've never seen a tornado before -- I can't watch.

[@davidkeith3920]

So glad you caught this one, Hank, I was watching Connor's stream when he caught it. And Reed was crazy enough to drive UNDER IT before it developed into this stovepipe! I'm reminded of how much better footage like this is without a chaser screaming their lungs out into a microphone.

[@___meph___4547]

Quiet storm chasers are a rare gift to this earth. I mute Reed's stream anytime I watch it, he always yells the same stuff, SO loud too.

Oh I know and Hank is NICE too. Saves animals and people when he can. The real reason for needing to chase.

When you watch vintage tornado videos from the 80s and early 90s stormchasers just stay silent or say one or two things and move on.

Reed's mother likes to hear him scream--ever since he was born.

Reed Trimmer probably yells at his pets. Like face pressed up against the hamster cage and blowing wood chips around with his own vocal tornado.

[@stillnotwoke]

Too bad there's so many amateur "chasers" out there these days, clogging the roads, and possibly putting themselves in harms way... 🤷

[@Starrydraws]

the best thing bout you hank is your calm demeanor when chasing. It is a breath of fresh air. I know things are intense and bad when you swear and that's it.

[@tornadodee148]

And even then most of it is bleeped out (with EAS sounds to boot lol🤣💀) so people a little more sensitive to swearing are covered🙂(well the Big KZbin Bosses dosen't like swearing either but you get my point 😅😂)

[@staceylacey5587]

That's a beautiful tornado right there! Mother natures beauty.

[@tonyenglish5153]

beautiful I'm not sure about. Maybe powerful, terrifying, or extremely dangerous force of nature.

@tonyenglish5153 And that, but mother nature shows it's beauty within all of that

[@amydavis4945]

OMG Hank!!!! I live in Eldorado... I wish I had known you were out there yesterday! I would have loved to meet you in person. My daughter (who is pregnat with triplets) lives in Olustee and they spent quite awhile down in a neighbor's underground shelter. Right before she stepped in, she saw the tornado. We were praying hard for their safety, and at the last minute the tornado turned north and missed the town. We have you, and other storm chasers that were live streaming to thank for our safety - because we KNEW exactly what roads they were on, so we knew exactly where the tornado(es) were! MAD respect for all y'all that risk your lives to protect others. Thank you so much (and the fkg awesome videos are an absolute bonus)!

[@LeTrashPanda]

My mom was from Eldorado, I'm happy to get a look at where she came from. She mentioned Olustee, Altus, and Quanah TX as places her family liked to go for fun (Depression / Dust Bowl era) but she lost both parents at age 14 and was forced to move in with her uncle in CA. I'd love to visit someday, my relatives are in the town graveyard.

[@amydavis4945]

@@LeTrashPanda I'm sure it's VERY different than when she was here. It has changed a lot over the years, and not necessarily for the "good". There's really not much here any more. Mostly just us old people - even the school closed. Olustee, Altus and Quanah are pretty much the only places TO go "around here", unless you want to drive for 2-3 hours. It's not a BAD town, just not much here anymore. Still really good people though.

[@Wesmancan]

Your work is second to none. Thanks for not screaming to. Great job man. You are appreciated more than you know.

I saw the velocity couplet on radar from my desk in Pennsylvania & briefly reconsidered all of my life's choices that led to me sitting in a windowless room, wishing I was out taking pics of a damn cloud. Incredible footage. Thanks for keeping us in the loop Hank. Happy trails

[@R0seBird]

holy crap, there have been probably 3 times you have made a video on my birthday, and there have been so many tornadoes on my birthday as well. I turned 20 on the 23rd, and you are one of my favorite tornado chasers out there. I love all and any storms and love to learn about them, and you do it best. with the lovely dad humor and guitar. Did little happy hands, your calm demeanor and silent videos, letting the tornadoes speak for themselves. :)

[@MartHommes]

I was watching Connor's stream when this thing was starting to form. And you're absolutely right. It had so many different shapes and each shape looked incredible! It came down as a huge bowl with sporadic multiple vortices, even some horizontal ones, and ended up as a huge barrel. Insanity.

[@ryne62]

It's so refreshing to watch a tornado video without someone screaming the narration of the tornado's antics which we can clearly see. Thank you!

[@jencincy1363]

Screaming and with constant swearing. I can’t show my young ones videos if there is a bunch of swearing. Hank’s videos are hands-down the best. And I love his music.

I've been thinking of you during these outbreaks, and really excited for when you eventually post your seasonal chasing video. You're the only one who combines my two biggest special interests, storms/tornadoes and random animal/bug encounters. Plus your home made soundtracks always give the BEST storm vibes.

Lawtonian here,huge fan Hank hope to meet you someday because I would like to learn a thing or two from the best…I was looking at the thunderstorm forming outside my house and then I checked the Radar and saw THIS EXACT TORNADO before I even saw the reports and warnings …The hook echo was huge and super defined on radar and I even questioned why I wasn’t seeing any warnings until one finally went off on google,I was scared it was going to hit Altus and then steer right and beeline towards Lawton instead of hitting medicine park as it was predicted…That could’ve been an f4-f5 situation waiting to happen…so glad it stayed near Altus and didn’t pick up in speed and start moving

[@shadowwolf9503]

I did my Army Basic Training and AIT at Ft Sill, OK - 1982. A tornado went right down the runway at the airport there on base. Missed my barracks by about a mile. That storm had the loudest thunder I've ever heard ! I did have some wild times in Lawton on my 3 off post passes.

Tornados were one of their favorites natural disasters to learn about and do experiments with. I had a handful of students say they would like to be storm chasers so I brought up your videos and they were amazed at the storms, thr video footage, photography, and the amazing narration you do with your videos and were hooked on them. Now we watch them not only for fun and educational purposes, but also because of how nice and calming of a voice you have and it helps to regulate my students!

Those are sad tornadoes, though. Though they may be cool looking, once a tornado starts destroying homes and taking lives, the whole dynamic changes. A chaser’s dream is a photogenic, beast of a tornado in the middle of nowhere that misses every home but is still accessible by clean roads
