[@jetpackminer]

Burritos like to hang out with derechos

Me too 😂

Came here to see if someone posted about them windy burritos 🌯. I could see Hank running a restaurant named the Twisted Burrito.

Only Hank can post a 4 minute 30 second video that is both extremely informative and entertaining. You have a gift of storytelling and educating. One of these days I’m going to actually fulfill my lifelong dream of getting out to storm chase and I hope to run into you even in passing to be able to shake your hand and thank you for the decade-plus of world-class content.

[@CeltonHenderson]

Derechos are such an underrated severe weather event that are often much worse then the majority of weak tornadoes because of how widespread the damage can be. Glad you guys were spared the worst of the damage from this one.

[@JessicaTiramisu]

I was just coming in to say the same thing! The amount of damage these systems can cause is something else...and you can definitely hear them coming too.

[@g.sanders6916]

This exactly. As an iowan who was hit by the August 10th, 2020 derecho I know it all too well. For a tornado impact on a single town you can call on your neighboring communities for mutual aid, but when everyone in your area is dealing with the same thing there is no mutual aid. With that any state aid and federal aid also has to be triaged out to the communities that need it the most.

[@Arthur-bb2zf]

This. These things scare the heck out of me, having lived through one.

[@Nylon_riot]

I was in disaster response and worked over 60 disasters and have been in 4 of my own. One being a director. Half of us couldn't even respond and was the worst event we dealt with. They are basically inside out tornados stretched hundreds of miles wide. It sounded like a freight train, and the sky was sickly green. People really don't understand how nasty these things are. I would rather deal with a tornado.

[@Sargy18MPBDE]

​​@@g.sanders6916, I was just going to mention that one. I'll never forget that day here in Chicagoland. It was the beginning of the pandemic and my niece's birthday. Heard Iowa got whooped before us and then it hit my area spawning numerous EF0 and EF1 tornadoes, some a few miles from me, and took out numerous trees in our backyard. Never heard of or been in a derecho event before nor do I ever want to be in another one ever again. 😬 Hope you were OK that day.

[@lunarwolfmoon5015]

Can we just look at how Hank is not only comforting his wife, but also informing her on exactly what’s happening? And how she’s calling out hazards!? We love it!

[@andytyrrell3232]

The cutaway to the rays was class

[@_bluephoenix_]

When my father moved to the US, we changed our father/daughter bucketlist trip from Safari trip to Twister chaser... now he's too ill to do it- we get the best of both with watching Hank. Saving animals, chasing storms- it's the Pecos way. 😅

[@zacharyowens3547]

Being in a porta potty in one of these things gotta be a wild ride 😂

[@pickle-shoemarvin7574]

i imagine it might feel like the slingshot port-a-potty on jack*ss

[@xXBuckOFiveXx]

Probably a shitty ride

[@JohnPingley]

I worked for a carnival for a few years, and we were hit by several derechoes over the years. One guy was in a porta-potty when one hit and he came out just before it blew over and was blown about a block away. He said that he didn't know what was happening, but it felt like a bull ride.

You can replace most things, but not the old trees. At least not in your lifetime. IMHO other than human life that loss is the saddest in storms.

Ontario and Quebec, Canada experienced a pretty wild derecho in May 2022. Some tornadoes touched down. The damage was extensive, stretching hundreds of kilometers, with power lines down and farms torn down (our neighbour's house was completely destroyed by a fallen tree). 1st time in my life I made a bee line for my basement. It was hard for people to understand what happened. Thanks for posting about this phenomenon! Ps. Canada tracks tornados. It's called the Northern Tornado Project (NTP). Doesn't sound as good as your TIT though!

I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and a Derecho rekt us a couple years back and we suffered, in my area, an extensive power outage and I took some footage of when it rolled in and then some footage of damage that it had left behind. I thought it was a tornado. I was trying to install a window air conditioner at the time when it rolled in without warning and wow fighting to get that window shut was unreal and my partner and the kids at the time were terrified. It was nothing to joke about. Crazy stuff. Love your videos!
