I remember waking up from a nap in my dorm one afternoon to my phone buzzing. I looked and saw it was a tornado warning and told people in my hall to get to the center of the building. All of them basically said that it pointless to even react because “nothing was going to happen.” Technically, they were right. The tornado was only on the ground for a few minutes in the next town over. However, I find it interesting how people can be so passive to tornado warning. Deadly tornados may not be as common. But it’s never a good idea to tempt fate with them. Panic. No. Be respectful of nature’s power. Yes.

@Moon Shine I don't think it's necessarily that the scientist is toning it down but just that he's capable of punching even higher and more technically if he wanted or needed to, whereas maybe Hank is on the upper end of his capability when discussing it (but who knows, he could know way more than he seemed to indicate even here). But the difference between speaking in loads of technical terms when there's a good reason to and just being a pretentious dick is important, and yeah they're right where they need to be at their level of discourse.

@Moon Shine No. Yourself being less educated in this topic, does not mean the bar should lowered for you, or others like you. It means you recognize the bar is higher than your understanding, so you must learn and seek the knowledge to better understand this. By being here you’re already showing interest in meteorology/ geography. It’s what I’ve done. I’ve had a few videos of his where I’ve said “what does that mean” and I then simply do my own research. I now can confidently spot storms, chase storms and can read radar imagery more than I ever could have thought possible. Hank has a direct, and informative approach to these videos. And I’m thankful for them.

But even then it's totally not done all by a computer. The data isn't just put in a computer and "bam" there's a tornado. There is still a program made by someone who coded it to run the simulation. This isn't new information at all. The same is done with all forecast models for years now.

However you are not right saying that this was not new at the time it came out, weather forecast models cannot resolve such small spatial scales at such a high time frequency. Moreover, larger scale phenomena are much less turbulent than the interior of a supercell, here turbulence in the supercell is simulated directly, while in global and regional models is only parameterized.

Gi the same thing as tornado

This was so helpful to me. I've loved tornadoes and tornadogenesis for years but wrapping my head about how the theory translates into what I see, not so much. Seeing it listed out here, with the different parts marked both on the model and on the video footage, was super helpful for me.

Watching this again, for the n.th time. Towards the end PH says, "I'm not a scientist". Well, maybe yes maybe no, he'd know better than I. But what he absolutely is, is an artist. From his music to his photos and videos of storms. The thing that stands out about his photography, still or motion, is its artistry, its beauty. They are always invariably hauntingly beautiful. It takes a real eye, it takes an artist's soul, to be able to do that. There are many other storm chasers or storm photographers out there, but only a handful whose output can compare to Pecos Hank's. (I can barely take a still photo myself - been all over the world and I have an extensive collection of photos of my thumb.)

I really appreciate the fact that you make an effort to include a visual reference and label exactly what you're talking about it really just shows that you want to help your viewers who may not be so knowledgeable of the terminology and it really helps with understanding what you're talking about.

“Why one super cell produces smiley tornadoes.” - subtitles 2019

I've watched this video so many times and it is very informative. Really enjoy this type of videos from Hank and Leigh. I've developed my own theory about the cold air versus the warm. Cold air is more easily condensed compared to warm air. It seems that would allow the air from the cold pool to be more easily compressed into a tight rotation there for allowing it to rotate much easier compared to the warm air which would be more easily sperated and harder to keep in tight rotation because of how easily it would spread. Just a thought.

The fact that this program spits out such accurate models simply by crunching the real data points is insane to me. I can’t even think of another scientific advancement in this field since velocity radar that has the potential to help so much with understanding these storms. Incredible.

@TheGuruStud

The future has to be feeding it real time data of a developing super cell with an algorithm to predict the next 30 mins by using thousands of historical supercells. The data has to be recorded, though. Otherwise, this is never going to go anywhere more. It looks very possible given how good this modeling already is.

I was born in Joplin years ago and, even though we now live in Northern Missouri, Joplin is still my "hometown" and I love it. On May 22, 2011, we saw video and TV coverage of the tornado in 2011, and were horrified at the damage. We were not able to visit until 2012, and saw that the tornado missed the house I was born in by 1 1/2 blocks. I learned to swim at the old Cunningham park. It was so sad to see the massive destruction of homes and businesses that had been there for years. We'll be in Joplin this summer for a high school reunion across in Kansas. Lots of changes in the 4-state area. I don't like to go back each year and remember how it used to be. You, too, stay safe. :0) Donna B.

Hank and team! What a wonder your channel is! So much impressive information and imagery. A heartfelt thank you, for what you do!

Ok Pecos Hank! You and Dr.Orf make science look super cool❤️

I only discovered your vids days ago and I already notice a passion beyond adrenaline addiction. Thank you and Dr. Orf for explaining the science angle of these storms. I just saw your other vid comparing and informing about cameras. Most important though is you care about the people effected by these tornados. Many here have noticed you stop to help and it says plenty about character. Good luck!

You combine beauty and chaos in the most sophisticated kind of way,love your videos man.

I am glad people are still commenting on this and supporting the two of them. I believe I watched this video shortly after it came out, 2 1/2 years ago...

This is so cool thanks Joe Scott for having him on your channel!!

I just have to comment on this again. I learned so much from this video and it was honestly just amazing. A+

This video made me really like you and your channel. For bringing valuable information to understand the Super Cell formation! To the science and weather community. Plus your personal first-hand experience of 20 years I think that this was a no-brainer...!

Another great quality video. Keep it going Hank!

Your tornado videos are the best Hank. Thank you for bringing the storms to my living room. 👍

Like cancer, I believe that there are multiple scenarios for tornado genesis. Looking for just one "magic bullet" may have hindered our understanding of how tornadoes develop.

I think most scientists agree. Dr. Orf has stated many times that he's focusing on the violent long track variety vs the little transient ones.

That would certainly explain why there are cyclonic and anticyclonic tornadoes, which must develop entirely differently I would think. So I agree with you.

Hey Hank, how's it rockin buddy? This was a great video and demo of Dr Orf's computer model animations and I'm curious to see what his computer model would have shown for the El Reno tornado from 2013. I heard the size of that tornado was upgraded from 2.6 to 4.1 miles wide, but I'm not sure if that is accurate or true, but one thing that I could quickly see from the videos of that tornado at the organising stae was that the whole area of rotation for that tornado was alot bigger than anyone could have realised that day.

Leigh Orf that is awesome and I would love to see an animation of it with the completed results. When I heard about the Hallam, NE tornado from May 22nd, 2004 that grew to 2 1/4 miles wide, I had tried various experiments with the info and swirl ratios and noticed that in the rare extremely large tornadoes it seemed to be a common theme that the suction vortices would generally have a much longer, sometime a continuous life span for most of the parent tornado’s mature phase and I was mostly suspect of this being as a result of the tornado’s info and rotation speed being influenced and potentially enhanced by rfd winds, but of course from what your model shows to me about ground level circulation makes sense. Great work indeed sir and if I may, it would be great to subscribe to your channel to keep a look out for any future animations and case studies.

Leigh Orf yes, I personally came to the conclusion that mesocyclones can do have multiple tornadoes in them and as has been shown in many chase video footage over the years, that multiple vortex tornadoes are already dangerous at any time, but a situation where 80% of the tornado is a rain wrapped clear air wind field, then the recipe for potential disaster is so much higher. One of the things I would love to see happen is for there to be an even further advanced version of apparatus such as the mobile Doppler radars being available to scientist that are capable of scanning and recording data, dew points, inflow temperatures and wind speeds at the base and mid level ranges of the tornado that the current DOWs are unable to scan. The amount of data involved for just one particular storm would be mind blowing for most people, including myself, but as you had mentioned in your weather channel interview, the better the technology for super computers improves and the more manageable and accessible the data is made available in the correct format or coding, then the better it would be for good people like yourself to essentially use that data and create new animated models that would help give a much bigger, better and clearer understanding of the ins and outs of tornado formation and likelihood from one supercell to another. Much respect to you on your modelling and helping to further knowledge and understanding to help save lives, which is always the main goal for all the research. Much respect to you Leigh and I sure hope there will be funding to keep your research and model building going forward.

I feel like I'm watching a movie. Who else feels like they're watching a movie?

I'm going with documentary. A little too much geek factor for a typical Joe's pure entertainment. Weather computers are amongst the most comples, powerful computers in the world. Leaving the most scientifically inclined programmers to program them. Weather models are in my opinion are the most complex models known to science. Far too complex for even the most talented scientists to perfectly understand and simply create a program model to fit the sheer amount of data needed to simplify any results at the end of the day. Far too many variables to be considered. My hat is off to the meteorologists working these thesis. Keep up the good work. It will eventually save countless lives.

I always learn so much watching your videos, Hank. Thank you!

As a researcher, this has to be one of the best research paper introductions out there

You by far have the best edited videos on storm chasing. Awesome job.

MY FAVORITE GUY IS BACKKKK!!!

The clip starting at 0:36 is by far the most eerie to me. The violence coupled with the ominous background, as well as the radar truck likely being the one providing the crucial data necessary to give this monster the EF5 rating that it earned with the radar estimated wind speeds. Absolute nightmare fuel

Good man Hank, always interesting, always entertaining, always on point.

This is fascinating! Thank you :) Dr. Orf shows keen respect for the scientific method by not overplaying his knowledge, and I'm grateful for that. But you both put it in terms that were easy for me (a layperson) to understand. Of course, I've been watching your channel for some time, so I'm already quite familiar with "RFD", "outflow-dominant", and other storm terms you used. But this was a very nice off-season presentation to get us enthusiastic about next year.

One of the more interesting videos I have watched today. Thanks for another quality video Hank!

Jpower Hi

Pecos Hank, thank you for the invaluable information you continue to provide us with on your channel. You answer so many of the questions I always wished were answered in nature documentaries. I’m so glad I’ve discovered your channel, it’s reignited my passion for meteorology.

"With all the probing and scanning the pictures still vague at best" That's funny, my doctor told me the same thing 🤣

Someone: "Please no tornadoes!!" Nature:"Well then. Here is a ef5". Edit:dang I didn’t know I would get this many likes
