Dr. Simon saying "Come here often?" at the end gave me a chuckle.

Kinda awesome how storm chasing brings friends together in the middle of nowhere. Hope you all had a good chase!

Can’t miss a Pecos Hank video release! Quality not quantity.

Shots like 6:03 are one of the main things that attract me to Pecos Hank. A beautiful, big red barn out in a field, a nice-looking sky, breaking up to let some sunshine out, a long, tree-covered hill in the distance with homes scattered on its side, and just over that hill a large tornado is tearing up this natural beauty. Pecos Hank is a gifted, talented and hard-working artist, who's ability to see, choose, compose and frame an attractive scene in nature is over-the-top! Like the tornado.

The classic Pecos cinematic eery music is always the icing on the cake.

“Cause that thunder just told us to.” - Glad to know you’re hearing the same thing I am, and that you’re willing to heed that warning. 🤗

Love watching you, no yelling, screaming, or swearing. Just the facts with music. Experiencing storms with you is an honor. Stay safe and thank you for all you do.

We need more, man! The 2024 tornado chasing world needs you. I'm not really trying to rip on the live stream chase crowds of today, but not very many of them know how to tell a story like you.

3:28 “Lost satellite reception”
Hank, “imagine that”

[PaddyPatrone]

Finally a new video. I don't need the craziest footage. It's the way you tell stories that make me wanna watch the videos.

[LeastInsaneUtsu-PFan]

I’m feeling horribly sick right now- and what do I see but a Pecos Hank notification? My day is made again!

[lordfrostdraken]

Again, one of the most incredible channels on YouTube

This video really captured the green shift that happens just before the tornado strikes. It's so funny how apparent it is, it almost feels like something from a movie, but it really does get that green.

I was just passig by New London off of Amtrak back in January this year. I've watched your videos for years now but when you know or have seen the local towns these tornadoes impact. It brings a whole new level of awe, fear, and respect for nature at once.

[ImTHATguy...]

An unexpected treat! My YouTube algorithm is gonna be switching from cars to weather events until about October. Gotta love a Pecos Hank upload!

[TRGTornado]

Hank is everywhere, you just don't see him because the tornado he is chasing is obscuring your view! Like, I swear bro gets every tornado! Great video and stafe safe out there!

[mikewest]

Pecos Hank is first to predict the path and first to the damage so often. You can tell his sense of direction, speed and danger are dialed. Lovely craft that tornado chasing.

[miketaylor]

Hank I’ve always been in awe and equally terrified of tornadoes… I’m 37 years old… I’ve read books and watched hundreds of videos…. I still get chills from your footage just about every time I see them… Your work is art sir! Unique in every way!

[justviscey]

I was chasing this storm since I live near there. Followed it from Salem to Yarmouth and accidentally intercepted the outer edge of the tornado in New London. It's crazy to see how many chasers unite in a group like this. Seeing Reeds dominator and other chasers near my hometown is a wonderful experience. Unfortunately I'm left here with the damage to houses with people I know, but glad some of you guys came to show support to those who were affected.

[pamelah]

1) I was wondering if you were in Iowa for that!
2) I don't know how you manage to make spooky music sound simultaneously calming and intriguing, but keep working all your magic.
