This is Part 1 of a 2 part tornado documentary highlighting the amazing Soloman - Abilene - Chapman Kansas EF4 that occurred on May 25th, 2016. One of the tools I use to get up close tornado footage is Google maps. In this video I’ve superimposed google maps and radar images to show vehicle locations relative to the tornado.
This tornado formed at 7:07 PM and was on the ground for approximately 90 minutes. Late that evening I uploaded the leaner cut raw tornado footage to KZread beginning mid way through the chase. Recently looking back through my files, I realized there is still a lot of great footage of this tornado that’s never before been seen. So here ya go...

    Mr. Hank I would like you to know that you have saved my life I’m not being dramatic at all. A few months ago I was extremely depressed and Suicidal anytime I was feeling really really down I’d watch your videos because I truly love tornadoes. Your videos and your calm voice helped me escape my reality and situation in my own life. I’d like to say thank you for being you. This took a lot for me to put out there. But I just wanted you to know how much of an impact you have on people

Before I discovered his page I would usually mute the other storm chase videos I watched because it was nothing but yelling and acting like they'd never seen a tornado before. Hanks voice is calm and kind of soothing. He also does a great job of explaining and educating viewers as to what's going on. Super professional.

    Love the map - helps visualize his location in relation to the storm. Zoom lenses often give a distorted view of distance, and this helps reveal how close these chasers get to the tornado - plus it helps give some perspective of size.

Ever since then, I've always love the tornadoes, their incredibly force and beauty. I enjoy your videos very much, they make my lunch way much entertained. I hope one day I might be able to go on a trip of a couple of months in US, just like you do, to try to " catch " as many of these beasts (and without injuries ofc) cause here in CR we barely have EF0s. Thanks again Pecos! Pura vida as we say in Costa Rica.

Keep yourself safe bud, you're an amazing artist and we want you to keep it that way for a long time.
