TORNADOES Best of 2012

[@jadewytch2335]

This is literally the most panic I've seen from Hank (having watched a lot of the more recent videos) and he is SOOO much more calm than I'd be...

[@PecosHank]

i shoulda seen the omen and called it a day ;)

[@nathanjohnson1898]

Pecos Hank was that really a f-5 tornado chasing, because if that was. It's a miracle you survived that. I love watching your tornado chasing, this one was pretty scary but really cool looking at tornadoes. I'm a big fan of your show, keep up the good work chasing down tornadoes.

[@morgangrey4020]

You know,i have been following your videos for awhile now.....this was one of the rare few times you raised your voice and almost lost it.Plenty of Storm Chasers should really learn by how you broadcast by staying calm and not normally putting yourself in a bad position.

God created this world, the devil comes to steal kill and destroy I believe that the devil creates these storms and the only reason why many people do not die in some is because God is standing by there side protecting them

Fun fact, despite both of the Kiowa tornadoes being strong, the second one being massive, both were only EF0s due to not actually impacting anything to indicate damage levels.

Hi, I'm a new subscriber. In 2013 in the UK, less than 1 mile from my families home, I was stood upstairs in the top bedroom and captured a small funnel developing for several minutes. I had nightmares for two years seeing real BIG tornadoes opposite their home. I've noticed over the years for 13 years that even before that funnel incident occured, the clouds always seem to be a thick dark black and blue and it looks like a jet stream edge of a funnel on its side or a shelf cloud. I have documented several years of photo's and videos. If anybody wants to see it just let me know, and I'll be more than happy to share the photo's.
