10 years on you'd never guess 2013 was a low tornado year with how large its tornadoes loom

[velvetkisscsminecraft]

I always remember “this is going to get really ugly really fast” for the El Reno tornado

1st and 2nd Tornadoes: R.I.P Leaves. You shall be missed dearly.

You sir need an award for that.

"Responsible for the upheaval of several dead leaves" haha

Its nice to know there still some decent people left in the world. Kudos to you for saving those turtles. And nice footage too!

The lightning strike over the top of Devil's Mountain is one of the best weather images I think I've ever seen. Ever consider selling it as a print?

The universe - How wholesome can we make a human being.

Humanity - hold my beer.

That's how pecos hank was created lol

It's crazy how when you see a tornado near a subdivision or a farm house that it comes across as looking treacherous and evil, but when out in the absolute middle of nowhere it can somewhat look beautiful and majestic

I loved the horse feeding interlude. These 'best of' videos are incredible. And I am so glad you got in and out of that El Reno tornado with ease. That thing was a monster and I'll miss Pete's videos forever. RIP Pete, Tim, and Carl. :(

I adore the fact that you rescue turtles and other small creatures...
Thank you so much

[lxee]

Rest In Peace to all of the people who died in the may 20th tornado, especially to the 7 children from Plaza towers.

Given the awful panicked commentary of some other well known chasers, your videos are a breath of fresh air and brilliantly styled productions, by far the best. 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).

[sweedereed]

I love how he still hearts comments after 5 years

[seekingelite]

Gordon was quite a character, awesome experience to share and good karma for your turtle heroics :o) As always great job on your video, your stuff is way more informative and sociable than those guys on Discovery. You should have your own show dude!

[rebeccalogan]

You're an amazing storm chaser. Loads of chasers died in El reno but you survived! Props to you

[justanoob]

Do you know what's even worse than a tornado at night?
