This is Part 1 of a 2 part tornado documentary highlighting the amazing Soloman - Abilene - Chapman Kansas EF4 that occurred on May 25th, 2016. One of the tools I use to get up close tornado footage is Google maps. In this video I’ve superimposed google maps and radar images to show vehicle locations relative to the tornado.
This tornado formed at 7:07 PM and was on the ground for approximately 90 minutes. Late that evening I uploaded the leaner cut raw tornado footage to UA-cam beginning mid way through the chase. Recently looking back through my files, I realized there is still a lot of great footage of this tornado that’s never before been seen. So here ya go...
MUSIC: By Dan Workman and Christine Wu
Mr. Hank I would like you to know that you have saved my life I’m not being dramatic at all. A few months ago I was extremely depressed and Suicidal anytime I was feeling really really down I’d watch your videos because I truly love tornadoes. Your videos and your calm voice helped me escape my reality and situation in my own life. I’d like to say thank you for being you. This took a lot for me to put out there. But I just wanted you to know how much of an impact you have on people
I'm glad you're still with us Lyssa. I know there are ups and downs. Hugs from Texas.
Hope youre in a better place now a year later
I understand I'm in that situation right now so I'm glad your ok and have some hugs from Ontario canada
😢😢
Take care
"This tornado smells like death..."

Doc Blanky I GOT YOU TO *69* LIKES
69 likes is too beautiful
Doc, absolute legend for having my passed away dog’s name. (The profile pic is my dog’s face.)
@@vriskamoder you smell like ass
Lol 😆
You are single handedly the best photographer and videographer when it comes to storms. National Geographic and Nova have nothing on you. Stay safe out there!
@your everyday prick "Inside the Mega Twister" ?
@your everyday prick ah, you're welcome! :)
CLBY BRDLY agreed
He's definitely the best I've seen. Before I discovered his page I would usually mute the other storm chase videos I watched because it was nothing but yelling and acting like they'd never seen a tornado before. Hanks voice is calm and kind of soothing. He also does a great job of explaining and educating viewers as to what's going on. Super professional.
Hank, as far as I know, is not bound by a contract. He would be if either of the aforementioned employed him. Hank is the real thing; no restrictions. Hank could probably stay in much nicer motels if he were under contract, but then, he wouldn't be the Hank we all know.
Hank: "I need a hill.."
Me: "In Kansas???"
LOL I drove through all of kansas going to Colorado and there weren't hills
When you said that my brain instantly went "hank hill" 😂
@@amynichols1414 Is this a joke? The Foothills of KS are amazing.....
@@amynichols1414 Were you driving through north or south kansas?
@@TheRevering no
THAT SIGN AT THE BEGINNING😂❤👌🏼
edit: 2 years later and im suddenly getting noticed on this comment. this comment is so embarrassing to read everytimr please stop liking and commenting on it 😭
"Id turn back if I were you" Hank: Nope.
Lol
Lmao
The tornado should’ve listened 😡
Fr tho, great sign for anyone that hates tornadoes 😂
People: RUN AWAY ITS A TORNADO!!!!!!!
Storm chasers: ITS A TORNADO, GET AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN!!!
That is so funny is what I think
Their beautiful
That’s in Europe
In America we say get the camera we goin nader chasin
conqururfear exactly, I want to be a storm chaser in 4 years
nEx on YT I would join you, is their a way to be one and make money?
"I'd turn back if I were you"
Literally every time someone I don't know tries to talk to me 😂
Azurafied lol
wow! this sure is relatable ahhgahbhaghahhaahahha
Scooter are you okay? You don’t sound okay.
@@kikoushii8400, I can definitely say they're not ok...
ok
Google maps: turn right
Hank: okay
Google maps: you reached your destination, your destination is right in front of you
Tornado: sup!
🤣👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖👐👐👐👏👏👏👏👏
eh.
Oh f**k I'm screwed
Lol
It can't mean that there's a lake there.
That ominous feeling you get when you see a tornado is just so overwhelming...
I've only ever seen 3 and only 1 was a touch down near me complete with lightening. They are intimidating
I’ve never seen a tornado in my life since I live in the metro Atlanta area the strongest we had was an EF2 and I’m planning to take a trip to Oklahoma or Kansas for tornado spotting
And it’s coming towards you..
I need to actually see one in person. I know it's 100% a different experience.
@@nsays4502 EF-2 here in East Brewton.
People With Massive Tornado Chaser Car : We are to close!!
hank With Rav4 and T.I.T (RIP) : We Need Closer To The Tornado!!
I find this comment absolutely hilarious.
@@Kaslidaughterofchaos Really? id never find my comment funny, Thx!
Who is T.I.T and is he/she dead?
@@mabelsbleach6851 yeah its beaten up, Now He using RAV4 i think
And T.I.T is Toyota Intercepting Tornado
Or jusT Search it
LOVE the intermittent inclusion of Google Maps. It’s so hard to judge distance, (and therefore size), from a video. Seeing the location of the storm/tornado with reference to your location adds a mew dimension to the experience. Thank you!
Ikr
XD The sign! "I'd turn back if I were you." They obviously have never met the Storm Whisperer, Hank...
Happy hunting, my friend! Excellent work, as always!
I like that. "The storm whisperer". That should be Hank's new nickname.
I saw that sign and laughed 😂
Lol
if the sign is around where i think it is, it's for an antique shop. i thought it was super creepy and unnerving until i saw the other side and it just said antiques on it.
edit: it's in greensburg ks, on the corner of maple and us 54, if you wanna check it out on google maps
when i tell you i dropped everything to watch this video, i mean it. I have hot coffee in my lap.
Savannah Valo didn’t that hurt? Y’know, cuz it could give you bad burns?
@@meowmeow4752 nahh, i was wearing pajama pants. that kind of absorbed the pain lol
@@SebbyValo97 did you make more
Samaya Allen i did not because i had to go to work sadly
@@SebbyValo97 oof
First panel you see in a town. "I turn back if I where you."
Me: yeah seems like a great town
Yup
That should be the sign for America
@EPIC EPIC Epic epic*
@Funnyguy83 Not funny didn't laugh*
I love it when the signs talk to me
07:40 CC: reads "this burrito smells like death"
oh yes, my favorite, the death burrito!
That’s why I don’t have Taco Bell
It also says the beginning Tomatoes instead of tornadoes LOL
dangit
somtimes potato
Me: "Navigate to tornado"
Maps: Navigates to "I'd turn back if I were you" sign - "You've arrived at your destination"
Smetlogik what do you know, finally stumble upon a video that I couldn’t take my eyes off and the god father of field herping himself has blessed it with a comment!
@@TheSnakeLibrary lol - dude Pecos Hank is the real deal. Sub to the man, you won't be disappointed.
You are on the fastest available route.
Love the map - helps visualize his location in relation to the storm. Zoom lenses often give a distorted view of distance, and this helps reveal how close these chasers get to the tornado - plus it helps give some perspective of size.
When there is a tornado:
Scared citizens has left the chat
*Pecos Hank* Has joined the chat
I don’t know the 5th planet could talk
Generalbluethunder Listen, I have a tiny mouth on my Great Red Spot ok?
@@jupiter8390 now I can't unsee that
Narancia Best Girl lol
Your Great Red Spot may be 70× more stronger than the tornado
"This tornado smells like death"...
What did the others smell like? O_O
Probably dust
Dirt, grass, wood of evey kind, shingles, dust, concrete, crumbled metal, death, disease, sewage, gas, insulation, and a dumpster fire
uhhhh.... air?
Burrito?
Like a tornado, warm moist dirt... Or other unfortunate times gas.
There isn't a single negative comment on this video. Every video needs a negative comment!
You didn't reach 10 minutes, you need to work on that Hank :)
Gotcha covered, Akira. 8:10 "get out the way moron!"
F.ck off. Am I doing ok with the negativity? 🤣
I got one, asshole idiot chasers being morons on the road acting like emergency vehicles.
oversoul i don’t hear it
How close can you get to tornado
Oh boy...he's using Google maps. It can be good, but when it goes down, prepare to get slammed by a rainwrapped wedge
Johnson Tv with 113mph winds
Through in some hail and extreme lightning and you got his ultimate dream
Which is a good reason to download the maps beforehand. This way, even offline you have maps. Even without GPS/Cell signal you can route a course as you go.
Google maps be good.
Bring a shovel, dig yourself a ditch, and hope for the best.
He'll be FIIIIIINE. ;)
@@WackyModder84 lmao true but if a ditch is a last resort at that point, don't think you'd like to die trying to "dig" a shelter
@@JohnsonTv
Well that's why ya start digging 15-20 minutes in advanced. Try to OUT-DIG the Tornado before it gets to ya. ;)
The super cell structure is an absolute breathe taking sight, until you see what is hiding under that shell of beauty. Death Himself
The full view made my tummy feel twisted. Phew...scaaary...yet beautiful at the same time...
Google: "You have arrived at your destination."
🌪: "Come at me bruh!"
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Thats funny
"I'd turn back if i were you."
signs can't tell a chaser or a tornado what to do!
Wowie that tornado is massive
Sign says:I’d turn back if I was you:but what if the tornado was chasing you? What would you do turn back find a dirt road or something or just keep on going straight I would pick go back and find a dirt road or I can pick both if I want to
It's eerie to hear the wind and birds (that you'd normally hear on a calm day) while a tornado barrels down it's path of destruction.
I've always been fascinated with tornadoes, but you make them that much more intriguing. Be safe on all your adventures.
Yes Hank your back! Glad to see you havnt died lol. Have a good weekend
and all of those clips are from 2016...
IceyNova, yes he's been back, but your comment was really morbid
Always impressed when in these videos there are these absolute units who think nothing twice of parking, not just dead in the road, but in such a way you can tell how thoughtfully they've maneuvered their car into an angle blocking the entirety of it. Beautiful.
Me: *Sees dark cloud*
Also me: *NOPE NOPE WE ARE GOING HOME*
@Scrap Baby yessir
Whether it’s survival instinct or not, we gotta go
Me: honey get in the storm cellar I'll see you when it's gone I'm going nader chasin
Hell, we’re going 5 states over
Yep
I really REALLY appreciate your videos.. I love that you let us experience the sight and sound of these amazing storms. Being able to hear that roar is so powerful. Happy to be a patron, your work is incredible ❤️
Jesus man, your videos always make me want to move from Europe to USA and go "hunt" tornadoes. Great job as always :)
NuSpirit if you do decide to do that the choice of vehicle is critical you might want a vehicle with lots of power but more power more gas burning
NuSpirit you ought to see what we use for bait! Lol
@@gamingcoal2147 Honestly I would probably go for something like my Dacia Duster (the new one) - 4x4, 115HP, 30mpg, fairly cheap to buy and repair, spacious enough for quite a lot of equipment :)
I believe in areas like France and England tornados can be there as well. I heard besides the US the U.K. is the tornado capital of the world!
I don’t know where you heard that but the UK is definitely not aha, the USA has way more
Is that Dr. Jonas Miller from Twister blocking the road at 8:06 ? Is he worried that you're going to steal his tornado?
Oh gosh, I love that movie. 😂 I wish I could see it again in the big screen. Tornadoes never die for me, it's the most exciting nightmares for me since childhood...even though I live half the globe away and very rarely have tornado bigger than an F1.
I love that movie
Clearly he's in it for the money.. Not the science.
Unrealized idea ... unrealized.
Eric tbh why would he do that for money when he putting his life in danger . He could get money by doing any other video but he chose the one that can kill him not for clout not for money so he can experience how it is or to entertain us .
Watching this two months later and still I was nearly screaming "That's close enough! Stop! Stop! Stop! About f'ing time you stopped!" So freaking intense to watch, I can only imagine how much more so to have been there in person. Be careful man!
1:43

Lol the street says," I'd turn back if I were you"
Lol!!
Its edited lmao
Man I love it when streets speak to me
@@epicfromepic this comment is old af but it's legit. i've seen it before.
No that sign is real
epicfromepic it’s real
Inserting MAPS sure gives me the sense of being there. I like your driving and camera skills & courtesy, too. Your work gives me a better understanding of tornado cloud and wind movement. Thanks.
0:13 subtitles: a slight increase for tomatoes
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is the best 'tornado-porn' on the planet. Quality video and understated narration.
D Mutant, atmosphere monsters
lots of girth 🗿
Could have related that to anything else and you chose this bruh
Closed captions: "This burrito smells like death"
cc: increased chance for tomatoes
Me: closed captions are hungry.

I wonder how the 2019 tornado chasing season has gone for you so far
@Alex Garrett It's just getting started.
@@VirgoCatleesi true I forgot to put "so far" at the end of my comment
I'll edit it now thanks for saying that
i live in oklahoma, deathly afraid of tornadoes, but i love them so much, specificly hank YYEEEASSS
@@yoyo-tb2xp Living in Britain I can't have the enjoyment and fear of tornado season yet I absolutely love Hank's videos they're so well done
@@soopy6667 doesn't Brittain have it's "fair share" of twisters? I know it's apples to oranges but I've read the British Isles, Italy, and parts of Eastern Europe get them occasionally
PAPA HANK WITH ANOTHER BANGER!!! Good job man, I love your videos and you have inspired me to become a storm chaser and get a degree in meteorology.
yo Hank I can imagine it being extremely tempting to get up close to an amazing tornado like that, but the last shots were really terrifying. The tornado was literally raging at the end of that little country road. Imagine if it were to turn in your direction, how tf would you get out of there? Keep yourself safe bud, you're an amazing artist and we want you to keep it that way for a long time.
I just want to you to know, your videos help me a lot with my anxiety on tornadoes and I really love your content!
i use to be a big fan of the chaser Reed Timmer, but since i discovered your work Hank I have to say ive had a change of heart, you approach the tornado with respect and reverence all the while being in awe of it and teaching us about each stage of the tornadoes life as it happens! Reed just shouts and screams at everyone and everything when hes chasing, just ruins the whole experience
CC: “might be the final stage of a tomato”.
No no, He's got a point.
Pretty sure pico de gallo is the final stage of a tomato.
@@janetteperez6351 lol saw that too
I was very scared for you! My initial thought was I guessed you made it since you uploaded the video. Superb video! Please stay safe!
You are the best and most humble stormchaser to ever grace this planet! Love your videos and amazing editing!
I'm a doctor from Costa Rica and I became addicted to tornadoes when I was 5 years and my parents took me to the movies to see Twister. Ever since then, I've always love the tornadoes, their incredibly force and beauty. I enjoy your videos very much, they make my lunch way much entertained. I hope one day I might be able to go on a trip of a couple of months in US, just like you do, to try to " catch " as many of these beasts (and without injuries ofc) cause here in CR we barely have EF0s. Thanks again Pecos! Pura vida as we say in Costa Rica.
Never have understood the thumbs down on Pecos Hank vids. He's a real guy.. He doesn't embellish. He takes the best vids and incorporates wonderful commentary and awesome music as a background. He's the best of all time. Should have 3 million subscription's.
I soo love love love.... ur professionalism in ur videos..
Ur certainly have the voice for it..
I have learned alot
As an amateur chaser I see a pecos hank video. I press like. Another amazing upload as always.
Sees Pecos Hank notification: *gets excited*
Sees that it's an extended cut of my favorite tornado in recent history: *day is instantly improved*
Reads "Part 1 of 2" in the description: *DIES AND GOES TO HANKY HEAVEN YEE HAW*
Yee haw! 😂😂😂😂😂
This seem fun can come when there a hurricane or a tornado
Man your videos are by far the best on you tube.Thanks for the beautiful video footage.Please stay safe.
More like "Your Destination Has Arrived At You"
Whoa, man. That's a big tornado. 🌪
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air from practically every other hunter who screams and repeats themselves the whole time. Love your style and your shots are dope as hell. Thanks for sharing them with us!
Woohoo! Welcome back Hank! This just made my weekend! Also, it was so awesome to meet you at the storm seminar last month. Happy hunting this season
Pecos Hank you are truly the best storm chaser out there. You are always so respectful towards nature and everything/everyone you encounter. You never scream down the mic when encountering her true form and provide such amazing insight. Thank you for doing what you do in the best way!
"I'd turn back if I were you ". What a fitting sign.
Thank you for showing us the blow by blow - pun intended - of your storm chase! The combined meteorological and map graphics was very cool and informative!
Taxi driver: where to?
me: *points at the torando*
Taxi Driver: you crazy?!
me: Hell YAH
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂💯
Happy belated birthday Hank, hope all your wishes and dreams come true this year. 🍰🎉 Thanks for all the great videos and stay safe out there.
I hope you put the English caption/subtitle again in the next videos (even with "tomatoes" and "potatoes" in it, LoL) if it's not too much work. Your fans come from all over the world, and many of them (like me) still learning English. I don't really mind replaying all your videos to catch on (especially your hilarious deadpan one liners)...but sometimes even after replaying 10 times I still didn't catch some of the words, I feel stoopid and it saddens me... 😅😂
7:38 with closed captioning on: "this burrito smells like death"
Really great footage Hank, it's a perfect catch if I might say!
Hank! I might get to do donate to your Patreon! I’m super excited to see sneak peek videos and other sorts of fun stuff! I’ve been watching you since 2011, and you’ve been the best you tuber since then! Happy Trails!
7:16 I guess someone is wanting their shed to be turned into a drive-thru. That is pretty darn close to the road!
Been watching you for years and glad to see new content! ❤️
I saw your channel about 2 years ago and I said to myself "I wonder what a tornado is like." And from then on I became a big fan of your channel
Since I live in a place where there is no tornados, I never knew what one actually looked like. Now I'm fascinated by them all thanks to you. I was terrified when I was a child but you've helped me get over that fear. I just wanna say thank you and that you've had such a positive impact on my life.
How could any thing so interesting and fascinating, sometimes beautiful, could be so deadly at times?
i was screaming yes for about 20 seconds with voice cracks when i saw this
at 4:42 the white company van that drives by has a tornado as it's logo LMAO
Hey, At least they are not lying.
I think that's a yt channel
@@jeviltheotherdevil3027 no that is a tornado chasing team i think weather channel but I might be wrong
I love these slightly longer chase videos. Great visuals and music. Nice work
What I love about you Pecos is your calm demeanor! And the way you explain what you're doing. It's fantastic! Thank you for sharing this with the world!
Forgot to mention- I've seen a lot of vehicles blocking roads which is so unsafe. Chasers need to be more cognizant of their surroundings in such unstable environments! I'm so glad you diverted hitting that truck and remained calm! I would've been yelling and flipping someone off lol.
Sign: "I'd Turn Back If I Were You"

I saw that, I just passed it on though.
I saw that... lol.
You really are a true inspiration to the storm chasing community and the world as a whole. You’re such a sweet, chill, kind, helping person and I thank you for that. The world needs more people like you. ❤️
Me at 5: I wanna be a famous fashion designer!
Me at 9: I wanna be a lawyer!
Me at 10: let’s chase storms for a living
Me at 13: I‘ll just take a 9-5
Me now: Let’s be a fashion designer shall we 🙃
Also me now: *oh wow driving into a cloudy spinning death seems fun-*
Sounds about right.
Coco XD aw thank you 🤣
I'm 11 and I chose where my cherrers gonna go at high school: join cheer sport great white sharks college: cheer and learn about being a meteorologist.
After college quit cheer and join the weather network
cailyns gacha fun what?
Always love your videos Hank, keep up the great work brother! Take care of yourself man- it's about to be that season again 😯
Next album: Bears Cage Blues🤘🏼
"This tornado smells like death."
*Drives closer to it*
Loved the background info on this one! Amazing footage as we're used to ;)
*see’s or recommended taps as fast as I could* I’ve been watching a lot of tornado things cuz I’ve never seen a tornado in real life
Zayria Cloninger They’re kind of terrifying, but beautiful. And deadly, I hope you never have to see one up close unless you’re a storm chaser.
LabAccident I’d love to. Ofc not too close.
Me to
LabAccident I been at one up close cause I live near this video ya yay :(
Gotta' get Scotty to adjust the sensitivity on that horn 8:09
The usual video, Well put together and fantastic video clips.
The way you help us visualize the location of the tornado with your location and radar is what makes you special. With the eery music and beautiful footage it’s magical. You tell a story
I like to think that because tornadoes happen so frequently in Tornado Alley, people just ignore them like they are just some common occurrence, like perhaps simple drizzle. Like "oh a tornado, hi there".
I could see a Texan go "Hello mister tornado, welcome to Texas." :P.
WOO PECOS HANK VIDEO!!! Saw the notification and just instantly clicked!!!
Me: WHY ARE YOU MOVING CLOSER
Pecos:lets get closer to get a better shot
Me: the actual flip

@@ElizabethCherryBlossom i know that it was a joke lmfao 🧍🏽♀️🧍🏽♀️
I've always been baffled by the vertical air movement of tornadoes. I see a swirling cloud but where is the updraft? Where are the hot and cold air masses? This videos is perhaps the most illustrating of the phenomenon that I've seen thus far. At 6:46, you can see how clearer warm air ahead of the tornado is getting swept under and accelerated into a jet towards the base. On the back side of the tornado you can see that same air getting lifted into the sky as ripples roll up from ground to cloud level in seconds. The rain caught up in the heavier air mass surrounding the tornado traces how this part is mostly rotating with much slower vertical movement. Truly fascinating .
“i smell death“
Me :sees notification~
Me:Clicks video as fast as a lightning bolt
Edit: this is the most likes I have ever gotten ;w; ty
Same here
😂😂😂
As so many agree with it. Me included!
Pecos Hank has something very special about his videos. Always thought this for the 3+ years I have been subbed.
Akita Wolf hybrid studios Was that a pun? This is a video on thunderstorms and lightning are in thunder storms.
Simon Kirbycraft XD yus
Mean looking tornado.
Fantastic footage as always, thanks!!!
And no one screaming ”oh my god” or ”holy $h!+!!!”, etc.. Classy 🎩
Wow, could this be my first first?!?
Why censor "Holy shit"?
I think it's more fun to read that way. 🤔
or my favorite : IT'S A TORNADO......A TORNADO ..........right there.........a TORNADO...........! rest of the viewers : seriously ?
Was this the one that was also known as the Bennington EF4? If so, I've seen the video from Daniel's perspective, and now this video shows a whole other side of that storm! Incredible!
If your burrito smells like death, lt's time to get a new one.
+
I absolutely love your videos no yelling or screaming. You remain calm and love hearing nature in the background and hearing the tornados. Thanks
YAY A NEW VIDEO FROM YOU YOUR THE BEST UA-camR EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Wooo an upload! More tornadoes. Feels great to live in the U.S. (edit) I can hear the tornado.
