NOTABLE FEATURED TORNADOES OF 2024

APRIL 26 - MAJOR TORNADO OUTBREAK
On April 26, the SPC issued a 10% risk of significant tornadoes stretching into 7 states. What would unfold was the most incredible tornado outbreak of the year. For 5 hours a swift supercell would produce numerous tornadoes in Kansas and Missouri, the strongest an EF2. However the much more incredible events were to the north.

Near Lincoln Nebraska an EF3 would toss cars 100 yards. Alex Fanning documented the incredible tornado tracking northeast of town.

Juston Drake and Simon Brewer captured an intense tornado near Tennant Iowa. Numerous other tornadoes tore through area, many leaving wakes of destruction. In all, at least 77 tornadoes have been confirmed in 6 states. Despite the widespread damage only 1 fatality was reported in Pottawattamie County Iowa.

MAY 21 IOWA OUTBREAK
On May 21, two major tornadoes would impact Iowa. The second and likely more powerful would land a direct hit on the town of Greenfield. Numerous homes and buildings were leveled earning it an EF4 rating. Five people would lose their lives.

A Doppler on Wheels was scanning the tornado as it sliced through Greenfield. DOW scientists preliminary calculations determine peak wind speeds as high as 309 – 318 mph likely occurring in less than a second.

Along with the 1999 Bridgecreek Oklahoma tornado and the 2013 El Reno Oklahoma Tornado.
These measurements are AMONG the highest wind speeds ever determined using DOW data.

MAY 25 VALLEY VIEW TEXAS
May 25 brought another outbreak of tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma with the most notable being a rain-wrapped EF3 striking a community near Valley View Texas. Manufactured and mobile homes were heavily damaging or demolishing causing seven fatalities making this tornado the most deadly in 2024.

When Hank drops a Burrito video, you watch, no questions.

What separates Hank from the rest... His videos aren't just Storm chasing... They are a cinematic experience

[Coolishstuff]

I feel like the entire weather community comes together once a year when Hank uploads these videos

[ThatsNotVeryFunnyLol]

I can't explain why, but for some reason the last few years I go through this thing where in the span of a couple weeks or whatever, I binge watch a bunch of tornado videos and even rewatch some of them multiple times. Hank is always one of the first channels I go to for that. Always some of the best videos to watch. The cinematics have to be the best in the community as well. And he seems like someone you wouldn't mind hanging out or chatting with.

[Ken-ynps]

Every year, people all over the world look forward to Hank's annual tornado

Hey Hank! I'm autistic and have a severe hyperfixation on tornadoes and I have had one for a long time and thanks to your videos I know SO MUCH about tornadoes and I love talking about them to all my friends (who unfortunately don't share my love for them 😔) thank you so much! :)

[lordnatey]

everytime Hank drops the entire tornado community gathers together for once like a thanksgiving feast

[OG_stiltskinrumpel]

Can’t finish a year without a pecos hank video

[tifonajanelle]

Hank, I'm 28. Been watching your videos since I was 14. I grew up in Kansas/Oklahoma and my dream was to become a meteorologist. Life went other directions and I now live in western Canada and am taking emergency management. Your videos give me a little glimpse into a world I left behind years ago and miss every day. Thank you for the hard work you put into your videos. I love them!

Hi Hank, I’ve played guitar for 30 years and you don’t get enough credit for the musical scores you record yourself. You’re obviously not shredding on the guitar but you create beautiful and effective soundscapes that match your videos perfectly. I can hear your talent (and hard work) playing, recording, editing, and producing those awesome sounds!

[DanielShawAU]

“I’m from Texas” love it. What an incredible season. Look forward to this edit every year. A masterpiece!

[zakkholguin]

I love that you're still running into Skip. His videos are what got me obsessed with tornadoes over a decade ago.

[vortexproductions]

Our chase team was in this video at 15:48! Thank you so much for featuring us Hank, and congrats on an amazing season! Can't wait for next year!

I died when Hank said "Somebody needs to take the tornado catnip away from Mother Nature. She's out of control" at 7:50 🤣

[nigeldepledge]

5:33 - Yikes! That felt like a close call with those power lines!

[WhiteWeather_]

the most wonderful time of the year is when hank uploads his yearly recap

[_Devil]

Having the activity of 2011 but only 1/7th the fatality rate is what we all like to see out of this. That means tornado warnings are more accurate than ever and more people are taking them seriously than ever.
Keep up the good work, Middle America. This nation runs off of your commerce and hospitality and y'all are doing a bang-up job post-2011!

[Blaketheboatnerd]

Yo Hank, it's been SOOO long since I've seen one of your video's and you are still my absolute favorite Tornado chaser of all time! Keep up the good work 👍💯😎
