TORNADOES of 2013: Best, Worst, Biggest & Smallest

+Pecos Hank your the nicest storm chaser EVER triva question the fastest tornado in the world was EF5 of coarse how fast was it?

[@Banditdoritoreal]

JustaMiata it was over 300 mph

[@Skittenmeow]

​@@that1barber550the fastest not necessarily EF-5 as that scale is based off damage assessments, and uses man-made construction to estimate the speed. Tornadoes that don't hit human construction are less likely to be rated as severe on the EF scale, and some lower rated tornadoes are incredibly scary and fast

You give us a fantastic insight into a landscape and meteorology that captivates and amazes the rest of the world. Keep up the great work (from down under).

Yeah man. I need to stop by and see ol Gordon again this year. Discovery is current blowing some smoke up by backside... who knows. Thanks as always Reno. Hope your'e getting some good images out there right now.

[@seekingelite]

I'm sure he would be happy to see you. I always love talking to old timers... they are wise and almost always genuinely good people. It would be awesome if you got hooked up with a show, I'm pretty confident you would be successful as an entertainer and chaser. No pics as of yet in this big storm, supposed to be gusts in the valley of 80mph possible overnight so maybe in the AM. If you end up seeing Gordon tell him he has KZbin fans haha he might get a kick out of it.

watching this in 2023. by the end of this year these clips will be 10 years old when he was filming these i was 6 turning 7 at the start of the summer (June 12). It’s crazy that these events happened when i was that young and also how much i’ve changed since then. and the fact that he’s been doing this for longer than this. it’s insane. i was just ending kindergarten and going into 1st grade, still a naive little kid. I won’t get into it much but in the years since i’ve gone through a lot and it’s changed so much since i was young. i wish i could go back but i try not to hold on to that since it’s obviously impossible. i’ll be 17 this year. my life is just flashing right past me. thanks for these. you’ve been doing this for a long time and have only been getting better. it’s crazy what you’ve been doing for more than 10 years and also congrats on 1 million!! :)

I just discovered your channel yesterday, and your content is among the finest on KZbin, regardless of topic. Everything about your uploads is exceedingly well done. The editing, narrative, soundtrack and script are thoughtfully and intelligently constructed and integrated. Perhaps most significant is the success with which you create an emotional 'pull' that consistently impacts viewers and builds upon itself as the upload progresses, leaving us feeling renewed and subtly altered in a positive manner at the upload's conclusion. Your work generates and radiates much-needed agape in today's perplexing, difficult and sometimes frightening world, and you remind us that beauty can de discovered and appreciated in every moment, even among the tribulation life brings. I offer you my sincere congratulations and thanks.

I do know for the last three or four years, I haven't gotten his vids in my recommendations anymore, until recently. His content doesn't seem to be the type that would be censored by algorithms. Even still, that doesn't explain how I see vids from seven or eight years ago I've never seen, when I know I went thru his playlist and watched everything.

[@dustin_saltzman]

Pecos Hank Happy 2014 to you as well! Also, no reply is required, but I forgot to say that I liked the way that you said how a 200+ mph tornado could be rated an EF-0 if no significant damage is caused. I thought that this was strange, because there was another tornado near El Reno on May 24, 2011 which was rated an EF-5 based off of mobile doppler radar data (>210 mph winds), despite there being an absence of EF-5 damage, similar to the May 31, 2013 tornado. I believe the 2011 tornado is the same as the one you show at 5:13. The two tornadoes both had measured EF-5 winds, but only the 2011 tornado's rating actually had the data implemented. I would have thought that the 2013 tornado would be especially deserving of an EF-5 rating (295+ mph winds), but I don't make the ratings (although I, personally, would be in favor of implementing the radar data when making the ratings).

[@PecosHank]

Your just awesome! All your videos are awesome 🤩 I hope KZbin stays up just so I dont miss your videos.

[@alexofspades22]

nice job saving the turtles. It was very calming to have them be in size order and being able to see these beautiful tornadoes.

[@chha6439]

So glad you didn’t get caught up in this tornado. Keep up the good work man ..love your videos! You’re a good person.

Great recap Hank :) Looking forward to your footage next year! Also, that old fella out at Oregon was great.

[@PecosHank]

Glad you liked Gordon. That dude was way cool! I'm gonna have to stop by and say hello to him again this year. Hope he remembers me. Take care!

[@JasonKerlin]

Just fantastic. Great video, as always. Stay safe,

[@PecosHank]

Thanks Jason. Happy New Year!

[@alisalavine1052]

Thanks, darlin, for the amazing footage, charming narrative and giggles. I too have saved many turtles while chasing here in Kansas. Stay safe and be well.

[@PecosHank]

So if i see a gal saving a turtle in Kansas under a supercell, I'll now know exactly who it is. See you soon!

This video is excellent! Thank you soo much for making it! I look forward to this years chase!

[@PecosHank]

I'm chomping at the bit to get out there and chase. Thanks for watching Laurel!

So good of you to rescue the turtles! Thank you.

Hi Pecos Hank, First of all I want to compliment you for the most beautiful and impressive tornado videos I've seen so far. It really has an artistic touch. I live in Germany and I have also plans to chase and document some storms here, since I found out that tornadoes in Germany are also a common thing. Before I start to bombard you with questions like "how to chase?", "how to read the clouds or weather data?", or stupid questions like "is it really that dangerous?" and so on :) (I will educate myself here, I'm not that foolish), I decided to ask you just which camera equipment do you use (photo camera, video camera)!?.. and.. do you edit the footage with a special software program? I really love the color in your videos! Any other recommandations? However, keep up your great work .. I'm looking forward to see some great storms in 2014! Igor

[@melaniemoore4368]

My husband and I wanted to go storm chasing but he passed away last year before we had a chance. I would love to chase with an experienced storm chaser like you.

[@lcTZGeek]

You got my vote...Again, awesome footage...I love the guy at the end...too cool !! You have a natural talent for capturing stories/moments. Thank you for sharing that with folks !!

[@PecosHank]

I appreciate that Laura. Thanks for the sub! More to come.

[@seeempunk2302]

why didnt you chase moores tornado and is the moore tornado worse than the 2.6 mile one

[@PecosHank]

That day I chose the storm to the South and bagged 2 tornadoes near Duncan. Generally I avoid chasing in the big cities... Tornadoes and traffic are not a good mix.

[@PecosHank]

Ethan Torre The most violent destructive tornado I've witnessed was the El Reno EF5 of 2011.

[@PecosHank]

Ethan Torre Moore Oklahoma was way worse as it took a direct hit. El Reno was spared in 2011 and in 2013.

[@PecosHank]

[@1968jpy]

You’re the coolest and most entertaining tornado 🌪 chaser ever 😀👍🏻🐢

[@deadname2444]

Yay! The turtles were saved, and we ALL hope they weren't allergic to the poison ivy haha

[@samserio4090]

Been watching all your clips. You rock!
