      @IM SORRY GOOGLE The thing about religion is that you have to see to believe. I only became a Buddhist 10 years ago, I have experienced at least 10 things/events that truly shocked me (personal experiences). When I tell people about those things, the believers believe, the nonbelievers simply "file" them away because their logic minds cannot comprehend.
      What's more is that believing conceptually is different than knowing. for example, Believing that God is there is different than knowing that God is there.
      It's like how particles behave in quantum physics, you cannot explain why the particles behave that way, you can only observe and know that that's the way they behave.

That day really taught me to be thankful for the nice things I have because one day they could all just get destroyed in an instant. The tornado was in Jefferson City and it was a mile wide monster ef3 that dicipated just before crossing the Missouri River.

    It's footage like this that has made Pecos Hank the best videographer in the field of storm chasing. Anyone can film a storm, or even a tornado.. but Hank adds something to his work that is uniquely his.. I can't explain it, it's just there, he simply knows how to put a scene togeather and makes you feel the awesome power and heart pounding terror of these storms. He isn't foolish with his life, but yet he will stand his ground for just those few extra seconds that moves his videos from the realm of "just another tornado video" to something almost a work of art, if it isn't already! Great work Hank.. keep it up.. but stay safe about it!

I would probably panic if I got that close and then get myself killed because I'm not thinking clearly. It really takes a special kind of person to do this. Without them, we wouldn't have nearly the understanding of storms that we do today.

She displayed a great attitude and was extremely gracious despite her life being literally turned upside down. Many people in her situation would be in a panic but she showed her strength as a human being. Her being a great person is more about her choosing to be a great person as believing in God, Jesus, Jehovah, Allah, Buddha, or whoever doesn't in itself make one a great person as I'm sure most religions' main goal is to teach their followers to be good people.
      And to Yeah Boii, of course following a God is all about faith. I suppose it's better to have a little faith in something that can help make you a better person than to come across as the pessimistic miserable human being you're acting like. I wish you the best my man.

      i wonder if that creek noise heard during all that was either that high tension power pole or the sound effects heard in his music

    Love the video Hank. Also terrifying. We were directly hit by the long track (second deadly tornado you're taking about) in this storm in Canton. Destroyed everything we had. We got out only 30 seconds before it hit. When we saw it we didn't even realize it was a tornado. We thought it was just a very low cloud. Then it picked up our car and threw us. Thankfully we were all ok. Thank you for your video. I revisit it a few times a year

    Hey, I'm from Germany. While the climate is going crazy in the last years, we got little dust devils und little winds that might can be called "tornados" ourselfs over here. but these storms you are recording is far beyond the storms in Germany. nevertheless I understand why they can be seen as beatiful. thank you for your recordings and stay safe.

      @Mary Burdette compared to international or american supercells we dont get suchs things at all. But, over the last 10 years and especially in the last 3 years, the thunderstorms and everything included like hail, lightning and wind force itself got very intense. I'm living in a city with 300k+ ppl. and my street/block got flooded waist-deep twice in one month.

      @@raviolisgale6337 I remembered something. It was at the Wacken Festival in 2016 I guess, when I experienced something far beyond the usuall stuff. Maybe because the location is very near the sea.

      @Mary Burdette Nah we have just sometimes a bad storm but that might even be just once a year or once every two years, at least here in Eastern Germany. In Eastern Germany we actually get nothing because right to our left are some mountains called "Harz" and all rain clouds and other shit mostly gets stopped from these mountains, as most storms come from the west, as the wind and weather in Europe is majorly influenced by the stream of the Gulf of Mexico. Sometimes shit can come from the south too and that is the only times I have and will have experienced a bad storm.

      Tornados are the same everywhere in the world. A EF3 in Germany is the same like USA or Canada or elsewhere. Maybe the damage looks more spectacular in USA because of there building-style. So these words (little winds that might can be called "tornados"....) are totaly bullshit!

      So you didnt understand my post. Let me help you with that, so we can get the "bullshit" out of the way; Supercells like these ones in the Videos are very very very rare in Europa. Yes they exist, and yes in Europa or Germany there is damage and there are storms, but moving circled cells like this not.
