When A tornado is in the vicinity, normal people tend to seek shelter. Others try to catch a glimpse of the rare spectacle. For some storm chasers the closer they get, the better. But why would anybody risk everything to witness something so formidable so close? Is it all just for social network boasting and media hype? Is it for science or for money? Is it rooted in pure fascination and curiosity, or just plain stupidity? Over the last couple decades, I’ve had numerous opportunities and incentives to dare up close photography of tornadoes. More than once, I was lucky to escape with my life. In this video we’re going to explore close intercepts with tornadoes, and the driving incentives to cross that line in the wind defining close and too close. These are my top 10 up close tornado encounters caught on camera.

Every few months I go through what I've labeled the "Tornado Phase," where, for some reason, I hyperfixate on all things tornado, and every time I go through this, I ALWAYS come to watch Hank's videos. I get very excited every time it's tornado season because I know he'll be uploading new content, and he never disappoints.

[@TheJttv]

Most chasers are talking to the stream/radio or getting clips to sell to news who don't care about audio. Hank is trying to get the shot for this channel and he likes clean audio. He also chases solo which helps because he isnt worried about a second person or having a second person worried about the pair.

The shot of the tornado weaving in and out of the wind turbines is perhaps one of my favorite in this video. Tornadoes are simply awe-inspiring, commanding a respectful fear wherever they go. They can kill easily and it is a travesty when they do, but one cannot deny they are just so intriguing and eye-catching. How would you not want to stop and just stare at or film one? I am not sure if there is any other force or power on earth quite like that. Even other natural disasters like volcanic eruptions or something still feel like they belong on earth. Tornadoes are like some other-worldly thing that visits our planet from time to time to wreak havoc and remind us they are out there, yet no one storm is alike. If this is what we have on earth, just imagine what some of the other planets in the universe have to put up with weather-wise. I've been in tornado-warned storms before, but never had the opportunity to see one clearly with my own eyes. Is it weird that I want to someday?

I thought that too..and I live where there are no tornadoes (rural upstate NY). In 2020 we had an EF1 tornado...that's all it was..it came up the hill over my house and down the road. Maybe a mile or two. EF1 but it was fucking terrifying. It was a wall of grey moving up the hill directly for my little farm house. Shit was flying around outside, trees snapped and a few old pines completely uprooted. We ran around in the house looking out from window to window in complete disbelief😂 I'm laughing now but every storm we get now, my kids are scared and I admit I get freaked out. We get crazy wind as it is. But that day we'll never forget. First summer in our dream home.

The 2 tornadoes that affected me both had a weird earthy, “wormy”, and burnt plastic, charged odor in the air a couple of hours prior. Have you ever noticed an odd smell in the air prior to having one touch down near you? Just curious.✨

[@JH-lz4dh]

Great question! I'm curious too

[@mommyofkittens4809]

Curiosity has me now.

[@phantomcat1958]

i smell that smell everytime a strong thunderstorm is coming. i feel like it has something to do with the humidity

[@gripen777]

I think he has in a past video, but I might be wrong abt that

[@MissRadi0active]

That's actually a great question. My family and I could always smell snow and thunderstorms so that is a legit question.

[@whenthe116]

14:00 my guys actually a madlad. Not a single horrified expression at all. and this footage will forever be archived.

[@darkestgray0]

That tornado coming directly towards the camera at 11:57 sent shivers up my spine. Something straight of nightmares.

[@alisalavine1052]

Hank, you always have the absolutely best footage. Your deep knowledge of supercells and understanding of lighting makes your tornado videos world class. Fangirling.

[@EndTimesCollapse]

I occasionally dream extremely vivid dreams with tornadoes 🌪. I’ve had about 5 or six and last night was one of those dreams. So bizarre. The fact that I’m in Canada and I’ve never seen one makes it all the more mysterious.

[@gimygaming8655]

I have those dreams too. half the time I get lifted by the tornado. in those dreams it is often fun but also horrifying. to be flying up in a tornado without the real danger of death but it feeling all so real

[@desirosethorne4429]

I have dreams about them too! Fairly frequently, actually

[@Jack7.]

Hey hank! Just wanted to say I love your videos and I appreciate not only the time and effort of chasing, but the research, editing, and all other aspects that make your videos unlike anyone else’s. A few weeks ago I was suffering from an extremely severe panic attack and I could not calm down, it was going on for hours and I kept trying to find a way to calm myself down so I could go to bed. It wasn’t until around 4 am when I put in one of your videos and it calmed me down enough to the point where I could sleep. I know you didn’t produce your videos with helping anxiety disorder in mind but they really are enthralling enough to help! Thanks again for all the content.

[@PecosHank]

Hello Jack. I'm glad that pesky panic attack finally ended. Dr. Sam Harris has some interesting things to say about anxiety here on KZbin. Maybe give him a whirl. Take care amigo.

I have MS and a peculiar manic disorder secondary to it. I don't have panic attacks, but I can understand. Substitute fear with anger, and maybe that can paint a picture of my difficulties? I can imagine getting that sweet shot and thinking, "Gotcha, you son of a b****!". It's pretty therapeutic.

why does the CAPTIONS SAY TORNADOES ARE BURRITOS?!?!?!?!?!

[@salem2702]

I recently endured a tornado. I was lucky it was an EF2, but we rarely get tornadoes here and no one was prepared. I watch your videos a lot, so I was able to realize and get my family and extended family to safety. It was really crazy, especially since we were driving. I don't think I would've been able to do what I did in that scenario without you. Thank you for the 4 years and counting that I've been watching you, Hank

[@KaileyB616]

Back when I was like 12 or 13 (I'm 36 now) my parent's neighborhood got hit by a tornado in an area where tornadoes are not exactly common (30-40 minutes north of Charlotte, NC). Luckily it ended up only being like an F-1, but ho-LEE shit is it scary when you don't know that beforehand and you're watching the funnel cloud coming straight towards you! It passed directly over our house and it really did sound exactly like a freight train... I can't even begin to imagine how much louder a stronger tornado would've been! The craziest part was when we came out of the house, there was so much hail everywhere, it looked like it had snowed or something… That and all of the snakes that were everywhere! I guess the torrential downpour of rain had driven them all up from underground, but there were giant snakes absolutely everywhere. I've never heard anybody else mention this detail as part of their tornado experience so I don't know this was just unique to my situation, but either way it was gross!

[@MegCazalet]

@@KaileyB616Well that’s horrifying, my two lifelong phobias combined!

[@RunninUpThatHillh]

We had an EF1 (baby tornado, I know😂) in 2020. Its super windy on our mountain and I always reassured my kids..we don't get tornadoes here. Then it came. My house was built in 1780. And we'd just bought it. I kept saying, "This house has stood here for over 200 years. This storm will fuck off somewhere else!!" I was so angry, I wouldn't go in the bathroom and hide. I was terrified but refused to give up my home. it was absolutely terrifying..I can't imagine a stronger one. Omg. It ripped the roof halfway off the house up the road.😫

[@griffindumper5011]

Your cinematography and narration skills never cease to both entertain and amaze, thanks for all of your work!

[@paisteformula6021]

Even the sound recording is incredible!! Wow! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@IClifeis2B]

This is one of the most unique tornado chasing videos I've ever seen. You took outstanding footage and you show calm and thrill at the same time when you have close twister encounters. What's more, this video has the Paris, Texas movie vibes and atmosphere. Outstanding work! And the music is perfect in this!

[@catpoke9557]

11:50 You can actually SEE the trees being obscured by the fog of the tornado. It is visibly moving, rapidly.

Nothing is more deserving of the word "awesome" than the last 1 minute of this footage. You Sir are literally sitting at arms length from a tornado. A...MAZING

Great work Hank! I am always impressed at your ability to maintain your composure and focus in the midst of the maelstrom. Keep up the good work and please continue to balance risk and safety to create these amazing videos that would not exist, if not for YOU.

Pecos, thank you not only for this today, i had a bad day and it kicked my butt, but i saw your video come across my feed and never been more relaxed or brought back to my center. I lost my Dad last year, i binge watched your channel and it got me through a really tough time. Its not just the incredible footage you capture or the education you deliver in your videos about storms or atmospheric phenoma during a storm (Referring to the Sprites, what an amazing happening that i never knew existed until i seen it in your channel), but its your Candor and Wholesome Nature that draws me back to you over and over again. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for just being you my man. Many Blessings on your Journeys and Always Peace Love Happiness. #PecosDaMan

[@jrn00498]

Hands down, you're videos are the absolute best I've ever watched. I try to chase tornadoes, but I have absolutely no reason to do so other than being an adrenaline junky. The one time I actually saw a tornado, I was picking my nephew up from school, and got told by the principal I had to come inside and take shelter. Pretty fun seeing as how I had my beagle puppy with me.

[@shelleywalker6225]

To see clearly see and hear these powerful storms/tornadoes just takes your breath away.

[@trixiebewitched]

This was insane. You deserve way more than $200 for that footage. That's at least 1 to 2 GRAND. Just on the effort to capture the footage, the gas, food, lodging, and the occupational hazard of dying from a tornado.

Wow! I just want to say- thank you for risking your life almost every day to capture footage of these strange phenomenons! Even though I’ve only been following your channel for 2 years, your channel made me want to study these freaks of nature as much as I could. Several years ago I would stay inside and hide under a blanket during a Thunderstorm, but now I sit next to the window, eagerly waiting for a flash of light outside as I explain to myself how lightning works. So thank you :) *i think I made this comment too long-*

»The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; And Aram begat Aminadab; and Aminadab begat Naasson; and Naasson begat Salmon; And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias; And Solomon begat Roboam; and Roboam begat Abia; and Abia begat Asa; And Asa begat Josaphat; and Josaphat begat Joram; and Joram begat Ozias; And Ozias begat Joatham; and Joatham begat Achaz; and Achaz begat Ezekias; And Ezekias begat Manasses; and Manasses begat Amon; and Amon begat Josias; And Josias begat Jechonias and his brethren, about the time they were carried away to Babylon: And after they were brought to Babylon, Jechonias begat Salathiel; and Salathiel begat Zorobabel; And Zorobabel begat Abiud; and Abiud begat Eliakim; and Eliakim begat Azor; And Azor begat Sadoc; and Sadoc begat Achim; and Achim begat Eliud; And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of The Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of The Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.« (Gospel of Matthew - Chapter 1)
