There are a lot of tornado channels out there. But here, we are gifted with a story teller, a painter of words. The perfect mix of teacher and entertainer.
your video quality is too good for youtube, loved the star and meteor shots, i'd not get anything close to that in the uk, not without long exposure shots at least
Pecos Hank should make a documentary movie. I can watch his outstanding footages and listen to him talking for hours. Seriously his contents are amazing.
I never thought of that. I usually end up rewatching his videos about 3 times a day (which also just might be my enthusiasm and goal to become a storm chaser) and looking at his content to see if he has posted. If he made a movie I would buy it no matter what. That was an awesome idea, and I look forward to seeing it happen!
The fact that bigger TV studios or something like The Weather Channel hasn't hunted Hank down, blows me away. He is way better than any other weather commenter/narrator...then you add in all his other talents on top and its just UNREAL. I hope your life's work is compensating you well Hank...its well deserved.
I can't agree more. Hank's video footage is just the start; add music that sounds like the storms chose it and then add superb storytelling, and you get a video that makes you feel like you are right there at Hank's elbow.
@@discoj7112 you summed up what sets hank apart from other storm chasers in the fewest words possible! his handling of ALL of the elements of his videos raises them to the level of art.
@@discoj7112 Have you seen Hank's infamous "glitter tornado" video? It çertainly deserves being called art; Hank turned his whimsical humor up to eleven. . .
We stay at Rusty's RV Ranch in Rodeo, NM a few times a year. It is in the bootheel of NM and under Bortle 1 skies. Even on a New Moon, if it is clear you can see your path by the light of the Milky Way. It is amazing!!
Please go out and get a life. I haven't been on a video where I haven't seen one of your attention seeking comments. You can do something useful with your life but instead you comment on video after video.
I'm a composer myself Hank (a one man band) and i gotta say, i really love the fact that you not only create the music and soundtrack yourself but that it gives your works such authenticity and flavor. I can almost smell the old boot leather and taste the dusty rain.
You've literally changed the course of my life. When my children have grown up and got families of their own I want to move from The UK to texas, a big reason for that is to experience the storms and tornadoes there and fly them out one day 😁
I love Pecos Hank you always get the most amazing visual images of storms and wildlife with his smooth music and humour all wrapped up in his asmr voice. He's just the best.
I now live in ABQ NM (started following you while still in Seattle). Retired here in January 2020. This year's monsoon has been something! We're up on the West Mesa, so we see the storms developing all around us. Sometimes there's spectacular rain & lightning over the Sandias, often some out west of us and it's not uncommon for stuff to miss us. But a few weeks back we had quite storm that developed over us, and we were kinda surrounded by lightning &thunder and the rain came down in sheets! (My cats were just a bit nervous.) Anyway, I continue to enjoy your videos!
The drone footage was incredible. Just try to keep it out of the path of the more extreme weather. But if you do let it loose, make sure you're recording!
I loved Hank's drone "footage" too. . . That whimsical ending to a spellbinding video was the cherry on the sundae. Yes, storytelling is the oldest of the arts and Hank repeatedly shows his skill.
@@getin3949 Hank isn't the money-wasting type of guy I feel like. I mean, he drives around in a beat to crap, "poverty-spec" Toyota Rav-4 (though there could be multiple reasons for this).
…along with the lightning and rain comes the smell of the rain on the desert plants. The creosote the sage etc. just adds the the beauty of the experience.
Videographer, narrator, audio, you've done it all and done it very well. Perfect voice for this type of video and I love the guitar, reminds me of my father how he sat in the living room every Sunday and played his guitar. Your knowledge of weather is so fascinating and interesting to listen to, Thank you Hank
That drone footage at the end was impeccable. Truly a new sight for me. It's actually rare to see you in a situation that comfortable and safe. It's good to see it, and also the incredible craftsmanship of all of your work is deeply appreciated.
The photography on this is stunning (but then it’s Hank, of course it is). Something about this channel makes me feel like I’m exploring on a road trip with friends - actually really nice to have that, and especially in this last year, when our wings were clipped by the pandemic (still are). Thanks for letting us share in the adventures!
I can watch and re-watch your videos for hours, just to witness your amazing nature shows and listen to your smooth comforting voice all back dropped by your dreamy guitar music!
You some how manage to narrate so clearly, accurately and soulfully the emotions of the desert storms for people who've never experienced it. I live here and plan on sharing your video with friends because you've explained it so well. Love your images.
My friend and I took in interest in this and now it’s going to turn into a full on hobby in the future because this is beautiful. It’s like a picture of clouds, storms, and lightning but it moves and it’s real. How other worldly and again beautiful.
Your videos are very inspiring. I'm from Italy, i live in a vast humid plain which stretches from Turin to Venice, It gives us Amazing thunderstorms during Summer. I love Watching Summer storms from my garden, what a fascinating thing to witness
The photography and music you make is absolutely stunning! Blended with amazing storytelling, music, and scenery, these are the best videos ive ever seen!
Absolutely amazing footage!!!! My son, Tim who passed away this February 13, 2021, loved watching your videos, he bought your music cd’s. If he were alive now he would just ‘liked’ it 100 times for sure! Thank you
This is why the monsoon is my favorite time of the year here in AZ. I have seen some beautiful storms over the desert landscape which makes me sit out in my backyard to admire them.
Hank, I wish more people realized the unmatched effort that go into your videos. Between the custom music, and quality of production and narration, it’s an absolute pleasure take in your work. People like you are why the inter webs can be a positive place to visit. Plus your enthusiasm in herpetology helps a bit too. Lol Keep on keepin on !!!!
I have had such a bad week, thank you for this video! This genuinely is the escape i needed, my break from the problems. Your the best hank, keep teaching us.
Hank, that was the most entertaining video I’ve seen in a long time. My hat is off to you sir. You offer something that no one else does and it is spectacular. Take care and drive safely.
Your videos are so beautiful, they make me cry at the drop of a hat! They perfectly capture the sight and sound of nature, forces that are so enormous and powerful. The soundtracks you record and pick out for each video are spot on, completes the tone and reinforces the themes.
The airplanes coming in and taking off, the guitar footage intermezzo, the moving timelapses, the clouds, the lightning - just simply wow! (What a cute caterpillar!) another masterpiece of yours, you always deliver outstanding content. Thank you so much for making art!
I grew up in Tucson, AZ. Amazing monsoons with thunderstorms. Incredible sunsets. the mountains suround Tucson in a loving embrace, from way down south, to the up front in your face Catalinas. Every day its a new painting when the light bounces off the canyons, ridges, and peaks. I love the smell of the desert after it rains, too. The desert there is a very spiritual place, very special. Recognized Saguaro National Monument in the video here : ) Used to ride my 10-speed bicycle around the 9-mile loop as a teen. Great work, Hank!
Man, I've been watching your channel for many years now and the footage just keeps getting better, amazing. There's nothing quite like arriving at home from a week of hard work and getting a Pecos Hank notification on friday evening. Beautiful shots combined with beautiful music and chill narration, feels amazing to kick off my weekend with that :D Much love
AMAZING VIDEO! For a while I thought it was just me when you see lighning poppin' off on radar going absolutely berzerk, so you drive towards it 30 mins away but by the time you get there its done...and poppin' off right where you started!! I thought the professionals knew better and I was wasting my time but glad to know I'm not the only one...🙏
Loved living here 18yrs. Miss the summer light shows. You captured all btfly.. The blanket of stars, shooting ones, lightning,all of it. More AZ plz. Great video!
Your content literally makes my day. You are definitely an artist and the way you engage your audience honestly reminds me of Bob Ross. You sir, are a legend.
"Carry me caravan, take me away, take me to Portugal take me to Spain. Al-del-usia with fields full of grain. I'd like to see her again and again. Take me...Spanish caravan, yes I know you can...." Love your vids dude. Love The Backtones vids also. Keep up the great work man. Wunderbar!!!!!
One reason I love watching hank is because he bases his videos on storms but mixes in stuff like nature, jokes, and other interesting things, which is why I would willingly watch him all day
Hank, you outdid yourself, AGAIN! This video isn't just a "lightning video"; it is a mesmerizing bit of storytelling by a master of his trade. Beautiful work, as always!
Hank, you really shoot some great stuff man. Not just the amazing weather footage, but the music, and your afterthoughts.. it's meditation for us viewers. Know that we really appreciate your work! :)
That was amazing footage, pictures, and guitar playing. That has to be an incredible feeling to be out in the middle of the desert watching all that happen! 👍
There are a lot of tornado channels out there. But here, we are gifted with a story teller, a painter of words. The perfect mix of teacher and entertainer.
He's just the best. THE BEST.
I couldn't agree more
So true!!!
Well said!
And he also films the animals he meets along the way 🥺 his content is on a different level
your video quality is too good for youtube, loved the star and meteor shots, i'd not get anything close to that in the uk, not without long exposure shots at least
Head to the far north-west of Scotland, the skies there are dark enough to get those types of scenes!
Buy a Lenovo, it all looks good.
I see them all the time in Arizona :D They're beautiful
AHHHHMAZING!
In Los Angeles I can see the Moon.
Pecos Hank should make a documentary movie. I can watch his outstanding footages and listen to him talking for hours. Seriously his contents are amazing.
Also the fact he does his own music!
That...is an outstanding idea.
He does

Petition for a one hour long video of Pecos Hank talking about storm footage in this style.

Same here
Exactly!
Had to wait till I got off work.👷
Ditto!
hey, Ive been having some very horrible mental issues lately but now even 5+ years later your videos still help me relax and sleep even thank you
The quality of your videos is really moving to another level, also thanks a lot for the commentary, Hank! Greetings from Czech Republic!
as a resident of southern Arizona it can be so breathtaking out here. I love monsoon season!
You know your day is going well when Pecos Hank uploads
Actually I'm sick as fuck, can barley speak and have no appetite even tho I'm hungry. Not exactly a good day

You've literally changed the course of my life. When my children have grown up and got families of their own I want to move from The UK to texas, a big reason for that is to experience the storms and tornadoes there and fly them out one day 😁
Be sure yall know what you're getting into with these storms

i think that video comes out the beginning of next year
@@ChristhegeekHD yeah it does
@@ChristhegeekHD yeah… I’ll be on the edge of my seat until then…
This video made me more homesick than you can even imagine.
Oh man the “Leave on place and it ends up happening where you were before” applies to so many things in life. Love the video as always!
"Grocery check-out line effect" is the scientific name for that! 😉🤣✌🏼
The drone footage was incredible. Just try to keep it out of the path of the more extreme weather.
But if you do let it loose, make sure you're recording!
Nah, he's going to intentionally destroy his drone.

Pecos Hank is a top tier UA-camr. Not by sheer force of subs and views, but his content on the glories of weather are without peer.
I like seeing all the critters you come across while storm chasing, they're as interesting as the storms themselves
In a dreary world, at least we have Hank. Thank you kind sir!
I can watch and re-watch your videos for hours, just to witness your amazing nature shows and listen to your smooth comforting voice all back dropped by your dreamy guitar music!
I keep thinking that if Hank would do voice overs for all the crap I hate to do. Think my life would improve dramatically. lol.
Man, I love your videos. IMO, you are the best storm videographers in the business
You some how manage to narrate so clearly, accurately and soulfully the emotions of the desert storms for people who've never experienced it. I live here and plan on sharing your video with friends because you've explained it so well. Love your images.

you are hands down the best storm photographer on youtube, your videos always give me goosebumps
Love it Hank. I recognized a few of those bolts!
Thanks Dustin. Can’t wait to see what you scored.
Forth generation Texan here. I grew up with storms like these and I love 'em. Love the video. Very well made. Thank you. Subscribed.
This video might be my favorite of yours to date, Hank. Absolutely stunning footage. Just so incredibly beautiful!

Loving the writing, narration, and the soothing background audio. Beautiful work. Thanks, Hank.
