  • Multiple beautiful, extremely photogenic tornadoes documented crazy close on May 4th, 2022 in North Texas. For almost 4 hours and a lone supercell spawned tornadoes and dazzled chasers from Southwest of Paducah to Crowell to near Vernon TX along a snaky 81 mile track.

    The horrible road network over big country didn’t prevent chasers from capturing beautiful images as the low precipitation, high based storm offered spectacular views from even miles away. But later that evening as the storm tapped into an even more volatile atmosphere downstream,
    chasing conditions abruptly became extremely dangerous as tornadoes swallowed wind turbines. The town of Lockett along with several chasers were impacted by a large rain wrapped EF3 tornado. This is my account of this incredible storm.
    Watching this video, you might be amazed at the wind turbine’s strength and durability while taking direct hits from an EF1 tornado. If you look closely you can even see the blades bending and flexing in the strong winds. Also to prevent damage, wind turbines automatically cut-off when wind speeds exceed 55 or 65 mph depending on the unit.

      I absolutely agree but would like to add weather & tornado scientist & teacher, & post-tornado provider of assistance & comfort to those traumatized physically, mentally, emotionally , or fiscally by the storms & tornados effects. Pecos Hank’s been my hero ever since I discovered him storm chasing on UA-cam when he was not much more than a teenager & I hadn’t received my first Social Security check. It’s great to know that even after I’ve been rewarded w/ a Walker, IV standard to haul behind me, & a C-PAP machine, I can still go Storm Chasing w/ Pecos Hank. Thank you for being you & using your many gifts to inform & teach others!!!

    I love this guy for his laid back, but very professional approach to his chosen vocation. I love his empathy with the local wild life and his concerns for the impact of these storms on not just the local population, but also the local infrastructure and I would have loved to have been on a storm chase with him. Unfortunately I’m a bit creaky for that now but I still have the love of observing wild weather, having spent most of my working life in the Merchant Navy I have experienced much of what is on offer out there, from China Sea Typhoons, Caribbean Hurricanes, Winter round Cape Horn, any old time round Cape of Good Hope, North Pacific Winter and not forgetting the close to home North Sea in Winter. However Tornadoes are so dynamic and dramatic they are visually and viscerally something else entirely.
    More power to your elbow Hank. Keep on tracking and following your life philosophy.

Much like you, I exist somewhere on the border of art and science with an insatiable curiosity, but ADHD and the fact that the kids want to eat, like, every single day makes it incredibly difficult. I’m hoping that I may be able to find a voice of my own some day. In the meantime I appreciate all the inspiration you’ve been giving year after year.

      That’s normal actually that windpower plants shutdown when the windspeed exceeds a definied limit.
