      I wonder if a 6-point or 8-Point Rollcage would help a lot in case anyone ever got hit by a satellite or an EF0-2 🤔
      Edit: Actually, rally tires would be good for storm chasing. They can move a lot of water really fast, good for on road and offroad, another thing is coupled with a roll cage you would probably be way safer than stock. And a reinforced windshield as well.

      I have been intrigued in the science of tornadoes for a solid 8 years now, but it has been 10 years since I saw one in person.
      But I'm pretty sure I'm bound to see another one in person as there's a Tornado in BruceVille-Eddy that has apparently touched down.
      But I think it's best to stay inside because the bad weather is gradually getting worse with each passing minute.
      Not to mention there's a crazy lightning storm going on in Waco right now.

    Hank, you're one of, if not the best person on youtube for storm chase videos. The editing, and the amazing shots you get of these storms is incredible. I've been here for a few years and always look forward to these.
    Too bad about the windshield though! Wild way to begin the tornado season. I've got a feeling it's going to be a good year.

    Hello hank! I haven't watched the video yet, but wanted to get something off my chest, so to speak. Your channel got me through some...pretty dark times in the past. The music you make with your band (My favorite is Glamorous Adagio!), the adorable moments you show with various animals, your intriguing commentary and discoveries (I never even knew of red sprites before your channel lol.). I could go on. But your channel is a beacon of wholesomeness that helped me through a pretty rough time. Since I first discovered you, I got better, medicated, therapitized (original word don't steal x3), and tomorrow i'm taking my first of four GED tests. I wanted to thank you for being cool! For being wholesome, a genuinely decent person, and just...thanks. I hope you find even more joy than your videos give me, because you deserve it. From a stranger on the internet, thanks ^w^
