@@tantalaytermvanich3292 yes that was the damage it did it mostly went through the open and hit little houses that wind was over 200 mph though if it hit a well built house it probably would have been EF5
Or simply cause they don’t have a basement or tornado shelter. My house doesn’t have either so we have to hide underneath our stairs in a closet cause that’s our tornado shelter
Watching these videos bring back some bad memories. I remember the Joplin tornado, I was in it. It was the scariest thing ever, it sounded like a train headed right for my house. It was only a block away when it changed directions. I had no where to go. I had to hide in my hallway. You will never forget something like that. The next day me and my family went to see the damage. I have never seen so many bodies in my life. There was even a body crushed under a car, it was horrifying. To anyone who has never been in a tornado, it is not fun. Tornadoes are scary, very scary. Love your family dearly because something like this could strike at any moment.
ScreamKid101 i cant even imagine the fear and pain you and everyone went through. i was 25 minutes away from Joplin and it scared us terribly over here too.
I mean I have been in a couple tornadoes. Maybe 1-3 or 4. Its not something that happens a lot here in SC. I remember when I heard about two tornadoes touching down at the same time side by side taking the same path. They only lasted about 10 minutes but I was scared like hell.
You can't run away from the potatoes. They're powerful and can move incredibly fast. People don't realize they're in danger until they're inside the tomato and being ripped to shreds. If they look like they aren't moving there is a very good chance the tomato is coming towards you. So get as far away as possible before the burrito will ketchup to you. Hopefully that cow will live after this devastating tostito. Turntables are scary. Telephones can grow to massive sizes and strengths. Terribles are terrible. Fritos are killers. Totino's are ugly and beautiful. McDonalds.
6:50 that thing was a MONSTER! Hank, I really honestly appreciate your videos. I live in Tornado Alley and a few a months ago we FINALLY got a storm shelter. I used to be DEATHLY afraid even just rain! Now I’m able to watch storm chasing and enjoy it
We lived in married student housing in Iowa City, and one set of apartments could only offer a windowless bathroom {garden apartments, so if you lived on the 2nd floor, you were really SOL. The nicer ones that we finally moved to had a common area everyone could access, and our storage cages down there were at least below ground. Not like a storm shelter would be, but better than an inside above-ground bathroom. You'd think in Iowa on the western edge of the city, they'd have a little more tornado sense.
I had a tornado lift off the ground and fly directly above my head one time. It was just a little higher than a telephone pole off the ground. My friend & I was looking up the throat of it...Yes! Never want to be in that position again! I said OH MY GOD! What amazed me (other than not dying!) When I looked up the very throat of it. It was pure black with stars shining like it was night time. I could see the stars! It only lasted a few seconds and then it was over me and then there was a rainbow of colors in the very tall clouds. I don't know how many people get a opportunity to do that & live to tell about it? It is something I will never forget!
If this happens 1.) Go to the basement or if you don't have one go to the bathroom and bring food if you have time 2.) If in in the bathroom hold on to the toilet or go in the bathtub (you can also hide in the dryer or washer for protection) 3.) Pray for not only yourself but your loved ones and even after the tornado is parted stay in a safe room because you don't know what to expect as the aftermath 4.) Make sure you are listening to a radio or looking at the news because once all the storms are gone you can leave where ever you are 5.) Call your loved ones (if you can) *DISCLAIMER: I am not professional these ideas could save your life but you don't have to do anything if you don't want to they are just tips*
I used to live with my grandparents, and they have an old-fashioned storm cellar, a literal hole in the ground. It is set into the side of a hill, and is lined with bricks. We've used it many times. They live in Iowa. One of my most vivid memories involving the cellar was about 7 or 8 years ago. My grandfather and I were watching the tornado scene in the movie The Day After Tomorrow. We looked behind the TV and out the window, and I kid you not, it was dark green. Not long after, we looked out the screen door as one of the lawn chairs was being blown across the yard. Now, mind you, these weren't plastic lawn chairs, these were pine wood chairs, not light at all. At that point, we decided to grab our portable NOAA weather radio, get the grandkids and the dogs, and run to the storm cellar. We stayed in the cellar for a little under half an hour. Luckily, the tornado missed the property by about a mile or so. We took a drive to see if any of our friends and neighbors were affected. Turns out, one of our tractor-repair friends suffered a direct hit on his business garage. It was torn to shreds. However, the house, sitting right next door, had next to no damage(just a few broken windows). Anyway, just sharing a tornado story.
Reading your story reminds me of one of mine. My old house 'I have moved since then' had a basement. I did not like going into it. But one day we where getting some major storms and was under tornado watches. I was standing at the back door watching the storm. I had this heavy 3 person yard swing. When I saw that swing go air born I scooped up my chihuahua and ran down into the basement. Just with in seconds it sounded like my deck was being ripped off the house. I was so scared. I always start praying when storms are coming. 🙏 Those few seconds felt like for ever. It was so loud and terrified me. So when it finally stopped I went out and all my deck furniture and gas grill was all up against the house. The grill is heavy too. Then I found out just a couple of miles from me was an EF1 tornado that destroyed a mobile home. Very scary day for sure. But I have seen 2 in my life time both EF1. And since we have moved have had one come with in 2 1/2 miles from us. I was outside taking pictures of the storm and the wind got so bad I had to go in the house. We live in the country now and don't have a basement. But the guy that lives behind us has a storm shelter. But we have been in it. Had to share my story after reading yours. Be safe in storms out there everyone! Love to watch Pecos videos by the way! 😁👍💜 Big fan of weather watching! I just do mine from home.

I live in North Central Texas and have encountered 3-3.5 tornadoes. Chronologically it was 2007-2016. Locations were at home, then years later at school, then in Oklahoma on the way back from family. Most recently last year I saw a tornado forming before my very eyes, I saw the updraft and the circulation. I say 3.5 because it was only a funnel cloud, I could not see the rest because of the heavy rain wall and hail. This year should be interesting, storms are supposed to happen this Sunday.
Will Connor there was once a severe thunderstorm when I was at Girl Scout camp a few years ago and I had to comfort a group of terrified 6 year olds who where clinging to me. And little did I know that meanwhile at my house there was a tornado warning and my mother and sister where sheltering under a table because I live in Maryland and we have no basement or tornado shelter because my house is so old
Steven Assanti go to replys believe it or not museum to see some strange things tornados have done if u don't believe that a person can survive a tornado that way
I live in Kentucky where we just had the massive long track tornado. These videos are very scary to watch but seeing it happen in person has to be much more terrifying. So devastating, prayers for everyone involved 🙏🏻 💔
Pecos Hank I've been watching your channel since I was six and I'm 11 now and I came across your channel while I was looking for episodes of tornado alley on UA-cam and then I found you and I saw that you had encountered plenty of tornados and that makes me want to become a storm chaser just like you. Your the best youtuber ever!!! Keep up the good work Pecos Hank!!!
+PecosHank you have, by far, the best tornado videos. Just the way you edit them, and narrate them and of course your daring footage. You should have a tv show!!!
You know, I'm really glad to see that you're among the few chasers (whose videos I regular watch) that actually practice safe chasing methods because you stopped well clear from the tornadoes and not get too close. I've seen quite a number of videos of other chasers being caught in the tornadic wind field and yet not even realize it. They only relied on how far the funnel was from them (even then they were already getting too close IMHO) and then experienced difficulties trying to get away from the approaching funnel because they were already caught in the wind field surrounding it. The El-Reno EF5 is an example that came to mind.

This thing went right through my best friend’s house. No injuries, but they were fortunate enough to have a storm shelter. Few people have basements there, and it’s a miracle that there weren’t more fatalities.
This was in my hometown(sulphur) and I was so scared that my mom was home. Luckily she and the rest of my family were at my grandparents house in their shelter and the tornado barely missed her house. Had it turned any it would've hit it and then would've headed straight for me in Ada. I remember my dad calling me on his drive home from work saying to get to shelter because he could see it heading towards Ada. Those houses are still gone but I'm so glad everyone was and is safe. Rest in pest to the person who lost his life.
though, on that day i was home alone in my apartment and a huge gust of wind blew outside my window, cars literally went flying and the steel foundation that held the overhead thing in my parking lot was ripped out of the ground i had to grab my dogs and go into the bath tub and then my power went out, to this day i still don't know if a tornado formed and then dissipated, or it was just an enourmous gust of wind. either way now every time it storms i get subconsciously scared because i think of that day also a couple days ago in waxahachie a tornado started forming outside my house but it didn't touch the ground
iam a storm chaser in germany... watching these kind of tornados on yt is so terryfying and beatuful. here in germany the chances to see those large ones is about 0.03% thx for your great work and be safe out there. nature does not forgive any fails.
Pecos Hank when I was at elementary school I actually had a tornado that went through my yard but it was just a funnel cloud so my house was not destroyed but It might of did some minor damage and it left a big mess full of tree branches and leaves.
Everyone seeing this comment please take a moment to appreciate pecos Hank’s bravery and also his kindness towards ANIMALS & PEOPLE god bless pecos Hank’s bravery
Ok so this has probably been one of my favorite vids and it is EPIC your yt Chanel has helped me understand tornadoes better so thank you so much you are one of my favorites!
I am a citizen of the United States, a KANSAN by birth. My seventh-grade general science teacher at Argentine Jr-Sr. High School did not dwell on, but told us about having been sucked from his second story bedroom of his family's home and was caught in branches of a tree. One of his arms had been torn from his body, never found. A story like that in any class or subject would bring 35 youngsters to a state of quiet, especially a class studying elements of science, including weather. I have noticed in the past three days, May 25, 26, and 27as I have watched videos on UA-cam and studied tornadoes extensively. there are numerous alterations to Storm Chasers' texts, naming some storms of the Tornadic type, BURRITOS, some TOMATOES. Because there is almost always the loss of human life in these storms all across the world, especially in the U.S.A., I feel there should be more respect given to those who have innocently been taken from their families and prematurely placed (if found) in caskets or tombs beneath the surface of the earth, no longer able to complete their lives. PLEASE give this some thought and resist the temptation to purposely misspell such terms in accompanying stories or notes. Thank you.
One of the most eerie things I’ve seen was after a tornado passed by my town, and we got hail between lemon and grapefruit size. The storm abated, and out of a blue sky I watched what turned out to be a roof shingle slowly flutter to the ground like a leaf amidst the hail craters.
The Katie /Wynnewood tornado may be the most recognizable one on video, no matter what video it's in even compilations you can tell it from all others.
DirtyBirdSpecial-- He was referring to trees because they can obscure a chaser's view and allow the storm to creep up on them if they are not extremely careful.
I'm glad there's compassion on this video for loss of human life. I've been on some vids where the comments are stunningly childish to the point of mental illness. i don't understand why there isn't a law to prevent new home construction in tornado alley. too large of a landmass and probably threatens some kind of American constitutional right or something also thank you for the explanation, i learned even more about how this weather phenomena works
Strictly speaking, the odds of a home being destroyed and people being killed by tornadoes is statistically remote, far too remote to not use the land.
“The turbulent roar of the tornado becomes audible as it creeps closer.” This right here is what I want to experience first hand under storm chasing terms, not taking shelter terms. Being in California, it’s rare to get anything above EF1 and more rare to happen near me.
Imagine living hundreds of years ago and as a Native American on the Great Plains and seeing these tornados. No wonder people made nature based religions.
Man that wud totally suck but I'm sure if I was ever trying 2 outrun 1 it wud happen 2 me lol hopefully I'll nvr have 2 attempt that I love watching these videos but man oh man idk what I'd do if I was in there situation
@@LLocvsttt It's too late for that. The king of the Potato people has declared TOTAL WAR after Trump stuck him with untenable trade tariffs. This is the reason for all the tornado's. It's his patented Skynoodle™ attack.
Lets take a second to appreciate Pecos Hank's bravery AND his kindness towarda animals. I come for the tornados but I stay for the mercy he shows God's creatures.
This video in itself is powerful and tragic, just like the tornado. It’s amazing how quickly it can rip everything from you, including your life. Thank you, storm chasers, for doing your work.
If I ever experienced a tornado I would probably die not because of the tornado hitting me because of me having a heart attack because I have a extreme fear of wind
Dude I felt the same when I experienced one for the first time. I live in the mountains, so I'm definitely not used to tornadoes. It was headed right for us and I could see it coming for us and hear it. I was on the top floor of a hotel. My parents didn't want to leave (they're crazy). Thankfully we were a near miss. I saw it dissipate in front of me. Never been more scared in my life.
That is incredible that the young man survived in the two walls of his home left standing!! As a Texas native that's seen a few tornadoes in my day, I am fascinated and frightened by this display of mother nature's power. Be safe out there, Hank.
4:43-5:36 That piano was haunting, but beautiful. Just like the storm, actually. That guy who had his house destroyed may have been physically unharmed, but how is he doing emotionally? I'd be scarred for life, personally.
@BushForLife1946 I don't remember the exact words, but what I do remember is that the title never said anything about a tornado warning, but to anyone who reads this comment, correct me if I'm wrong
Me too. Whilst it's really rare that we get tornados in the UK (and of we do they don't tend to occur in the north edge I live), but it's always worth knowing if I plan to visit anywhere that gets them commonly (particularly in Posts of the US) and to be prepared in case it does happen once day.
Did you see the one in Sheffield a few days ago? www.ibtimes.co.uk/uk-weather-tornado-touches-down-sheffield-storms-forecast-rest-country-1581377 Think its windspeeds were very low, but a funnel to the ground nonetheless! :D

But one day we where getting some major storms and was under tornado watches. I was standing at the back door watching the storm. I had this heavy 3 person yard swing.

Jrunk Anddoped666 no, stuff like that happens in tornadoes.
Jrunk Anddoped666 how? No ones gonna demolish their house just impress the internet
Steven Assanti go to replys believe it or not museum to see some strange things tornados have done if u don't believe that a person can survive a tornado that way
FYI: "Hope" is not generally a winning strategy. Unless you are lucky!
Please continue to be both smart, *and* lucky, Mr. The Pecos.
hard to believe something so devastating can be so beautiful
I live in Kentucky where we just had the massive long track tornado. These videos are very scary to watch but seeing it happen in person has to be much more terrifying. So devastating, prayers for everyone involved 🙏🏻 💔
Mayfield,Kentucky December 10th EF4 tornado?
Rip the guy and trees who died to a Tornado
It's David omg what if a cat died too!!!That will the worst cause I❤Cats!

You think a cat is better than a human, PFF you disgust me.
I feel bad for the cow at the end
Any trees that got thrown can live as long as its roots are in the ground
Pecos Hank I've been watching your channel since I was six and I'm 11 now and I came across your channel while I was looking for episodes of tornado alley on UA-cam and then I found you and I saw that you had encountered plenty of tornados and that makes me want to become a storm chaser just like you. Your the best youtuber ever!!! Keep up the good work Pecos Hank!!!
That's awesome! I'll do my best to keep bringing you the video. Cheers from Texas amigo.

I absolutely love your narration! You have a wonderful voice and your knowledge is superb!
+PecosHank you have, by far, the best tornado videos. Just the way you edit them, and narrate them and of course your daring footage. You should have a tv show!!!
ON TARIO they'd probably make him change his style. And we don't want that
Rest in peace brotha man
Cinnamon oven I know it’s just a joke but it’s not appropriate when someone actually lost their long lasting life in the matter of seconds
R.i.p
You know, I'm really glad to see that you're among the few chasers (whose videos I regular watch) that actually practice safe chasing methods because you stopped well clear from the tornadoes and not get too close. I've seen quite a number of videos of other chasers being caught in the tornadic wind field and yet not even realize it. They only relied on how far the funnel was from them (even then they were already getting too close IMHO) and then experienced difficulties trying to get away from the approaching funnel because they were already caught in the wind field surrounding it. The El-Reno EF5 is an example that came to mind.
"I call them tendrils" bro he make the tornado sound like a monster! lololol...guess that is a better name than "noodles"
Yeah, you can eat noodles but tendrils will eat you.

I call them tentacles. Yeah I'm Asian.
I like tentacles also... seems more scary.
Tentacles. It is like a Lovecraftian monster.
They are a monster!

I literally saw your comment right at the right time, it was too perfect, a rare phenomenon
God I hope those are cheesy potatoes.
“Violet tomato”
I love the captions
Lamo 😂😂☠😭
You can't run away from the potatoes. They're powerful and can move incredibly fast. People don't realize they're in danger until they're inside the tomato and being ripped to shreds. If they look like they aren't moving there is a very good chance the tomato is coming towards you. So get as far away as possible before the burrito will ketchup to you. Hopefully that cow will live after this devastating tostito. Turntables are scary. Telephones can grow to massive sizes and strengths. Terribles are terrible. Fritos are killers. Totino's are ugly and beautiful. McDonalds.
Prelude in C# minor was a great choice for this! 😎🎶💗
*you know it gets serious when he says “f the tornado”*
do you have to pay a speeding ticket when you're escaping a tornado?

This thing went right through my best friend’s house. No injuries, but they were fortunate enough to have a storm shelter. Few people have basements there, and it’s a miracle that there weren’t more fatalities.
This was in my hometown(sulphur) and I was so scared that my mom was home. Luckily she and the rest of my family were at my grandparents house in their shelter and the tornado barely missed her house. Had it turned any it would've hit it and then would've headed straight for me in Ada. I remember my dad calling me on his drive home from work saying to get to shelter because he could see it heading towards Ada. Those houses are still gone but I'm so glad everyone was and is safe. Rest in pest to the person who lost his life.
And actually, the boy who took shelter in his bathroom was my high school classmate's little brother. I'm glad her family stayed safe
Glad you, your family and neighbors are OK Neko.

Ooh, i have a friend that lives in Sulphur: D
My god is that the man flying out of the tornado at 3:56 - 3:59? That’s horrifying to ever have to experience such helplessness

also hank: excuse the shakiness
Thank God that cow was ok....😙😙

Survived all of that outside only to end up in the slaughterhouse
hands down this is one of my favorite documentaries of yours, something about it is just very compelling - those tips at the end are wonderful too!

There was a huge tornado threat in dallas today and I was so scared :(
it's your boy guzma Yeah i was there too
it's your boy guzma I live just outside of Dallas in a town called southlake, and it was hailing and windy and we lost power but no sirens went off
-huggy- :(
dallas never gets tornadoes, only the small towns around it
though, on that day i was home alone in my apartment and a huge gust of wind blew outside my window, cars literally went flying and the steel foundation that held the overhead thing in my parking lot was ripped out of the ground
i had to grab my dogs and go into the bath tub and then my power went out, to this day i still don't know if a tornado formed and then dissipated, or it was just an enourmous gust of wind.
either way now every time it storms i get subconsciously scared because i think of that day
also a couple days ago in waxahachie a tornado started forming outside my house but it didn't touch the ground
iam a storm chaser in germany... watching these kind of tornados on yt is so terryfying and beatuful. here in germany the chances to see those large ones is about 0.03%
thx for your great work and be safe out there. nature does not forgive any fails.
Pecos Hank when I was at elementary school I actually had a tornado that went through my yard but it was just a funnel cloud so my house was not destroyed but It might of did some minor damage and it left a big mess full of tree branches and leaves.
Glad it was weak. Hope it didn't mess up your hairdo.
Pecos Hank I was at school when it went through my yard 😂
But I'm a big fan of your tornado videos
Good thing you werent home playing hooky. Cheers Jimmy.
Pecos Hank if I see any tornados I will try to get on video and upload them
your literally my favorite storm chaser
I love nachos.
+Pecos Hank lol so do i
+Pecos Hank lol random subject but I love nachos too
I just had some nachos. lol
Everyone seeing this comment please take a moment to appreciate pecos Hank’s bravery and also his kindness towards ANIMALS & PEOPLE god bless pecos Hank’s bravery
Hank mate;
Me and my little boy literally love sitting down and watching your videos!
Top job, chief!
People call those things NOODLES 🍝
I’d call em ramen noodles 😐
Now the question is: can you pick them off the tornado to eat?
🤣🤣 it is looks likes noodles? It is looks likes rope😃
I had a tornado warning over here😭
Be safe!
be safe!!
in my country there we're never a Tornado or Hurricane or Anything
it's soo hot in here
but in the night ahhhh...it's cold and that's good
really that's so scary
Bonnet the Bunny same here, it happened to me 3 times this year!
the sheer power and intenseness of these magnificent storms is absolutely beautiful to me. Besides the damage.

3:44 wtf? Were those people just standing there outside of their cars?
Storm chasers
But they were dangerously close...
No it passed farther south than that
Magical Megan Oh. In the video it looks so close. I was like "they gon die!"
thats just a normal occurrence for a person living in oklahoma. you get used to it.
Ok so this has probably been one of my favorite vids and it is EPIC your yt Chanel has helped me understand tornadoes better so thank you so much you are one of my favorites!
I love it. He called 911 to report a tornado. There’s just something really funny about that.
Tonardo had that man feeling like every amusement park that ever existed. Rip to the victims of tornadoes
I am a citizen of the United States, a KANSAN by birth. My seventh-grade general science teacher at Argentine Jr-Sr. High School did not dwell on, but told us about having been sucked from his second story bedroom of his family's home and was caught in branches of a tree. One of his arms had been torn from his body, never found. A story like that in any class or subject would bring 35 youngsters to a state of quiet, especially a class studying elements of science, including weather. I have noticed in the past three days, May 25, 26, and 27as I have watched videos on UA-cam and studied tornadoes extensively. there are numerous alterations to Storm Chasers' texts, naming some storms of the Tornadic type, BURRITOS, some TOMATOES. Because there is almost always the loss of human life in these storms all across the world, especially in the U.S.A., I feel there should be more respect given to those who have innocently been taken from their families and prematurely placed (if found) in caskets or tombs beneath the surface of the earth, no longer able to complete their lives. PLEASE give this some thought and resist the temptation to purposely misspell such terms in accompanying stories or notes. Thank you.
I love how there’s a tornado and trees fallen over but the cow is just there vibing
Pecos Hank, you're just a heaping pile of cool, aren't you?
just watching that makes me feel like I was there
I learned a lot about the anatomy of a tornado in action. Thank you for your awesome work!
One of the most eerie things I’ve seen was after a tornado passed by my town, and we got hail between lemon and grapefruit size. The storm abated, and out of a blue sky I watched what turned out to be a roof shingle slowly flutter to the ground like a leaf amidst the hail craters.
The Katie /Wynnewood tornado may be the most recognizable one on video, no matter what video it's in even compilations you can tell it from all others.
9:05 how the fuck did the cow and a chimney survive a mile wide ef4 tornado but the houses are insanely too weak
Your tornado videos are fascinating! Your channel is tops on UA-cam! 😊
Trees? I more concerned about the people.
DirtyBirdSpecial trees give you oxegin dummy
trees act like giant spears
the trees would rip right out of the ground and kill you in seconds.
DirtyBirdSpecial-- He was referring to trees because they can obscure a chaser's view and allow the storm to creep up on them if they are not extremely careful.
He is worried about the trees because they can fly out and hit people/there homes and cause death
I'm glad there's compassion on this video for loss of human life. I've been on some vids where the comments are stunningly childish to the point of mental illness.
i don't understand why there isn't a law to prevent new home construction in tornado alley. too large of a landmass and probably threatens some kind of American constitutional right or something
also thank you for the explanation, i learned even more about how this weather phenomena works
Strictly speaking, the odds of a home being destroyed and people being killed by tornadoes is statistically remote, far too remote to not use the land.

“The turbulent roar of the tornado becomes audible as it creeps closer.”
This right here is what I want to experience first hand under storm chasing terms, not taking shelter terms. Being in California, it’s rare to get anything above EF1 and more rare to happen near me.
Just incredible thank you for this breath taking footage. To see one in person is on my bucket list.WOW
Better start planning a trip to Tornado Alley (or Alabama). Spring & Summer is most likely.
Imagine living hundreds of years ago and as a Native American on the Great Plains and seeing these tornados. No wonder people made nature based religions.

The CC captions are messed up. Whenever they’re activated on one of my videos it says these random words and it puts two words together.

"A mile-wide EF5 Potato" is pretty darn frightening if you ask me
This video in itself is powerful and tragic, just like the tornado. It’s amazing how quickly it can rip everything from you, including your life. Thank you, storm chasers, for doing your work.
Our pleasure
the man loosing his life was really sad
Yup
Sad indeed, but the young man spared by clinging to a toilet brings some joy too.
+Rocketninja200 true
+Rocketninja200 the man looks like he's so surprised to live that's sad about the giant tornado impact he's ok which is good and brings light indeed
Really sad
7:30 - at least he still had a pot to piss in!
Gives a whole new definition to the phrase "praying to God on the big white telephone", that's for sure.
I've never seen such clear video of the movement of a funnel cloud. It's absolutely mesmerizing and intimidating.
True
It looks so satisfying
At last someone said it
If I ever experienced a tornado I would probably die not because of the tornado hitting me because of me having a heart attack because I have a extreme fear of wind
good for you...
Samslittlesailor 2016 yeah I have that fear too 🤷♀️
Dude I felt the same when I experienced one for the first time. I live in the mountains, so I'm definitely not used to tornadoes. It was headed right for us and I could see it coming for us and hear it. I was on the top floor of a hotel. My parents didn't want to leave (they're crazy). Thankfully we were a near miss. I saw it dissipate in front of me. Never been more scared in my life.
Jizeru1 oh damn :o
Samslittlesailor 2016 I stayed during Harvey and was in the brunt of it. So I get it!
That is incredible that the young man survived in the two walls of his home left standing!! As a Texas native that's seen a few tornadoes in my day, I am fascinated and frightened by this display of mother nature's power.
Be safe out there, Hank.
The young man's balls of steel anchored him down
4:43-5:36 That piano was haunting, but beautiful. Just like the storm, actually.
That guy who had his house destroyed may have been physically unharmed, but how is he doing emotionally? I'd be scarred for life, personally.
Rachmaninoff's Prelude in c# minor, in case you were curious!

The guy with his roof ripped off died, Im pretty sure hank said it in the video im not sure.
@@indicuh3889 I think he was reffering to the other guy who clinged to the 2 walls of his bathroom and survived while his house was destroyed.

I knew!
What was the original?
@@navilandinator4479 me too!
@BushForLife1946 I don't remember the exact words, but what I do remember is that the title never said anything about a tornado warning, but to anyone who reads this comment, correct me if I'm wrong

This is *lilith* thanks I love cows 🐄. They are my favorite animal (I didn’t see the whole video yet)
That cow was calmly munching grass.
Jerald Collins The tornado and the cow are Bros
Moo
lol MOOOO way
I got to say, I've learned a lot from watching your videos!
Me too. Whilst it's really rare that we get tornados in the UK (and of we do they don't tend to occur in the north edge I live), but it's always worth knowing if I plan to visit anywhere that gets them commonly (particularly in Posts of the US) and to be prepared in case it does happen once day.
Yeah, I live in the south of the states, so they are not common, but it's good to know the information should I have to travel in that region.
Did you see the one in Sheffield a few days ago? www.ibtimes.co.uk/uk-weather-tornado-touches-down-sheffield-storms-forecast-rest-country-1581377
Think its windspeeds were very low, but a funnel to the ground nonetheless! :D
No I have! Holy cow!
PT Duckie what gives you y the Cow ..only milk and meat you worship it ...BUT ALLAH gives you every thing and you ignoring
