TORNADOES OF 2015 - May Madness!

Tornado documentary featuring several outbreaks in May 2015. More tornadoes touchdown in May than in any other month. This May in the US, tornadoes were reported on 28 days out of the month. Along side the tornadoes was gorgeous lightning, torrential flooding, and powerful straight line winds all cast out of mega storms on a daily basis. If you live anywhere near Tornado Alley you pay extra attention to the weather in May. If you're a storm chaser, you chase! In 2015 i witnessed 20 tornadoes in May. This documentary features those tornadoes as well as behind the scenes peeks of what it's like for a chaser living on the road during this maelstrom of a month.

MAY 6, 2015 OKLAHOMA TORNADO OUTBREAK
May 6th began with multiple funnel clouds slithering in the sky and I was able to capture five tornado touchdowns on video. The main event was a 1.3 mile wide EF3 heading towards Oklahoma City Metro. This tornado effected Bridge Creek destroying several houses. Just prior to entering a more heavily populated area the large tornado suddenly vanished but several other smaller tornadoes would touchdown, some in Oklahoma City including another EF3 tornado later that night. In all, 65 tornadoes were reported throughout Tornado Alley on May 6th. Astonishingly there were no fatalities.
MAY 7, 2015 NORTH TEXAS TORNADO
The first funnel cloud footage in this video was recorded around 5:38 near Bryson Texas. The main event tornado would touchdown west of Denton Texas and track northeast to near Sanger Texas. This tornado would cause minimal damage earning an EF1 rating. On several occasions the condensation funnel lifted off the ground and dropped again giving the impression that there were many tornadoes however one tornado cyclone was present and weak EF0 winds were noted under the base the entire track from wedge tornado to its rope phase.
MAY 8, 2015 THROCKMORTON TEXAS
A storm went tornado warned west of Guthrie Texas around 3:43 PM. 20 minutes later I would intercept the outflow dominant supercell and remain with it throughout several uneventful hours. Around 6:40PM the high precipitation supercell storm would interact with a smaller storm and threaten the town of Throckmorton Texas with a tornado warning. A fat hook echo and radar couplet suggested a tornado was on the ground and a large bulge of condensation lowered to the ground where a tornado would have developed, however i had a pretty good view of these features and could not confirm it was an actual tornado.
MAY 9, 2015 KANSAS
After blue skies all day, my target area finally started producing thunderstorms to my north at sunset. Tornado warnings were issued and when I arrived at the scene a long beautiful tornado was already in progress. Wet, soupy back roads prevented me from making any real ground on this tornado. This would be the theme of the evening until I finally got stuck in the mud. Tornadoes were dropping everywhere it seemed from at least two alternating mesocyclones under this supercell and within one hour I was able to discern 7 separate tornado touchdowns. The next couple hours lacked the lightning and roads to make clear observations but there was a tornado tracking on and off for many miles. Every now and then I'd see a tornado but because of the poor visibility I'm lumping them all into one. At least 8 solid tornadoes were intercepted on a night that Dick McGowan would call a tornado-palooza. Several other tornadoes touched down throughout the Plains and 1 fatality was reported in Texas.
MAY 10, IOWA
Another day of multiple tornadoes. The first of the 3 tornadoes I witnessed would tear the roof off a school with 100 people sheltering inside. No injuries or fatalities were reported with these tornadoes. This outbreak would stretch down south into Arkansas were 2 tornado related deaths would occur and another 2 fatalities in Texas.
SUMMARY
In the five day tornado outbreak between May 6 and May 10, 2015 I was able to witness and confirm 17 tornadoes and several large funnel clouds that might have been tornadoes. None of the tornadoes I witnessed would kill anybody and I only witnessed 1 house with Ef2 damage. This made for a very fun and light-hearted chase week hence the goofiness in this video.
Thanks for watching!

[@OnlyZunkin]

It's such a mystery how this channel doesn't have nearly as many views as storm chasing videos and channels that are an anorexic shadow of what this one is. My best guess is I think it might be because Pecos Hank takes the time to put together properly edited and well put together videos which causes him to miss out on that initial wave of people who google the tornadoes right after they see them on the nightly news etc. Once a video catches that first wave of views it becomes a self reinforcing cycle where traffic keeps getting routed to them first despite the fact that their video may not be anywhere near as good as one Pecos Hank does on the same twister.

[@trollpatrol1177]

Stupid algorithms. Can't tell the difference from a cell phone video vs a real video of a tornado.

[@noahkb80]

[@captaincraftit696]

I'd say it's probably because he's very low-energy. A lot of people who look up storm chasing videos are looking for that Reed Timmer TIV screaming action sort of stuff to go along with; more interested in the action and intensity than just marveling at the raw destructive power of these killer twisters.

[@noahkb80]

Obviously people havent seen inside the trunk of his car. If they did......

its because he doesnt title every video "INSANE KILLER TORNADO FROM MARS" He is realistic and modest

...PECOS HANK = by far the best severe-storm chaser / photo-documentarien in North America... many thanks Hank !!!

[@crooked-halo]

I concur with comments that Pecos Hank would be incredible on television! His approach is so unique & different than other chasers (some who have TV shows). He's an excellent teacher who incorporates humor, along with great music that he creates! Hank's interaction with nature is extremely entertaining, his photography skills are bar none. I've watched millions of tornado videos on You Tube, and no one can compare to Pecos Hank! I would guess that it's only a matter of time that some channel makes a request to Hank for a show. He's just too good. With his personality, however, I wouldn't be surprised if he turned down an offer. Commercialism can breed neutering of what makes someone special.

I've watched every single tornado video of yours. I WISH I could afford to go to Patreon but I've shared these with all my friends on Twitter and Instagram. Thank you Hank!

[@LadyVoldemort]

Twistourette syndrome. 👍👍👍 The symptoms including "woohoo" and "yee haw" and of course screaming the obvious. I've seen a lot of tornado videos containing people with this syndrome...

[@pidgeydoodles7549]

wonder how much chasers are diagnosed with it on a yearly basis.

[@faerieSAALE]

such as constantly screaming, OH MY GOD! or, It's a really VIOLENT TORNADO - or the general nasty attitudes of chasers snipping at each other or telling a person they can't talk or take get out to photos, while they do.

POWER FLASHES lol

Imagining native americans cooking a lizard for a snack before bed, cuts to hank reclining in the pillowy comfortable interior of his iron travel beast eating prepackaged food and watching an image summoned to his portable light box

[@Beanrock124]

Hank, Reed Timmer, and Mike Morgan (from KFOR in Oklahoma City) are my inspiration to studying the weather and storm chasing!

[@27deathage]

love the videos, I've watched them all.

[@PeaceLoveandMolotovs]

That was one of the most best beautifully edited and behind the scenes videos I have ever seen.

[@lutetium9209]

I love the tornado footage you do! Keep it up!

[@stookiegrace1253]

I live your humor! Keep up the great work! I wanna be a storm chaser on the side of a meteorologist even though this will probably never line up, it would still be amazing to witness a tornado from afar. Love your work and it's keeping me attracted to severe weather!

[@laronrhodesmusic]

You have to watch Pecos when you're tipsy. This guy is hilarious in such a unique way

[@wesleypeters4112]

Your footage is absolutely amazing. 2:54 gave me the chills just seeing that monster through the tree line. He was near Lake City, IA. That is the school that lost its roof.

[@MasterChef-ux3gk]

3:00 look at the main funnel its scary as hell!!! I never use that word, but that really scared me!!!!

[@joannee4509]

Its scary then el reno

[@kayliekincaid23]

Okay anytime I watch your videos that feature Central Texas I get a little excited since it's my neck of the woods. Keep up the good work, Hank!
