From the red, dusty fields of west Texas to the ocean of green in Montana. From the tropical Florida Keys to the dreamy landscapes in Arizona. In 2022 I drove roughly 30,000 miles documenting storms

On anticipated big days, A storm chaser might drive all the way to Iowa and only see some rain. Then turn around and drive all night back to Texas
and only see some rain. A storm Chaser might drive all the way to Montana only to get a sun burn. And sometimes a storm chaser isn’t expecting to see anything and they find a monster.

In 2022, 1240 confirmed tornadoes have been tallied. I was only able to track down a dozen of those. My third consecutive year with below average scores. Though 2022 wasn’t as epic as 2016 or 2019 for many of us, we’d be foolish to complain.

Thanks everyone for the patience and super supportive vibes! Just a heads up, some wankers pretend to be me in the comments saying baloney like “you won” and phishing people to respond to them on other networks. Don’t fall for it and if you see them harassing someone else, please let that person know it’s BS. It’s almost storm season!!!

[BobbyDukeArts]

dude, your editing/storytelling is superb. your shots are beautiful. Thank you

[jetblackstar]

Low quantity, low frequency, immensely high quality. And goes with the highs and lows of each natural season.
And I have rewatched your whole catalog so many times without getting bored.

This is what YouTube should all be.
Thanks Hank!

Hank could go an entire year without seeing a single tornado and I’d still be on the edge of my seat waiting for “Tornados of Year”. Amazing work as always.

[Cinemace]

Thank you for all these years of chasing, you are such an inspiration for everyone. To another great season!

[bryanmiller]

Love the restraint you show in not over narrating, and letting the storm speak for itself. You also have a calm presence and allow the viewer to experience the storms through their own lens. Not to mention the timing and content of the music. Thank you! Be safe!

My favorite thing about Hank's vids are we get this entire amazing experience. A lot of other chasers it's just a bunch of driving and then maybe the tornado. With Hank we get the wildlife, the local culture, the views and just the overall enjoyment of the trip. Watching Hank's vids over the last few years has led me to start taking my time when I'm on road trips, stopping at overlooks or places to get in a quick hike for some photos, or stopping in a local small town to try some food or pop in an antique shop to see what they have. It's a lot more fun when you turn it into a mini-adventure and I feel like every time Hank takes us chasing with him, we're going on an adventure that is about a lot more than just seeing a tornado.

No one has ever done this better than you. From the storytelling to the caring about animals to the absolutely beautiful camerawork, you are the king of stormchasing. No contest. Thank you for making these.

[Bethlam]

Not only are you an amazing storyteller but your videography skills are off the charts. I LOVE watching your tornado videos. You never have the obnoxious screaming, you help the wildlife, and you care about the people effected by the storm. You stay safe and keep hunting!

[heth]

Every Hank upload feels like a long-awaited movie release. Love the production quality of your videos man!

[Deevster]

Hank, I don't know if you read comments like this, but when I discovered your channel back in 2016 when I was a high school freshman, I was blown away with your stormchasing videos
I didn't know it at the time, but meteorology has become a passion of mine and I intend to explore meteorology when I go from community college to university this fall.

Happy Trails!

Hey there Hank, I just wanted to thank you for your videos because they’ve really helped me over the last year or so. I ended up getting caught in the Winterset EF-4 on March 5 of last year (literally drove right through the outer edge of the funnel) and it left me with some trauma regarding thunderstorms. Your videos have really helped soothe my anxiety, since your calm narration and the way you frame even the most violent tornadoes as beautiful and awe-inspiring make it seem less scary somehow. Thanks for all your hard work, I wish you luck in this coming storm season.

[ninjadog]

Hank, I want to tell you that I view your videos as art. I mean that sincerely. The way you edit these scenes, your narration and choices of music, the quality of the photography and your obvious passion reach me emotionally. I teared up just a bit at the foxes reacting to the red sprites, laughed at the mounted deer rump and was awestruck by the dusty tornado. That was mighty close, and that sound...damn! Anywho, just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching your work. Thank you, kind sir.

Pecos Hank is a master of documentary editing and general cinematography. It's amazing he produces this stuff on his own, including composing haunting music for it. Favorite tornado chasing channel.

[jonjonsshreds]

Hank is the type of guy to make the most out of any given situation, love it

[LaCorvette]

Please never stop making these videos. I just can't thank you enough for all the journeys you take us, the audience, on.

[DarkHoodness]

Just want to say - The musical transition at 14:55 was really incredibly done!

Beautiful, beautiful footage as always! Your storm compilation videos are an annual treat. :) Thank you for what you do!

[MaggieD]

I love Hank’s videos because they allow me to see the American west, a place I love and miss tremendously. The colors, the vistas, the skies, the wide open expanses. It makes me remember things not contained in the videos, like the smells of the west or how the sun feels in west Texas or Montana. The west for me is like my high school sweetheart, she’s been gone from me for a long time but I always have a place in my heart for her. Thank you for everything you do Hank ✌️❤️

[ChipMatthews]

Even if you didn't manage to film a single tornado I'd still watch just for the excellent music. Thanks for another great video, Hank.

[ihavetwofaces]

Hank, I swear to god - for the last few years, the parts of your videos that I have looked forward to the most are your captures of red sprites with that laid-back, lonely guitar plucking along perfectly in time with these amazing captures. The amount of time you must spend in editing getting the timing just right is revolting, but the effect is incredible.

You've given an atmospheric phenomenon a leitmotif/theme song and I love it.
