NOT FOR REBROADCAST
In 2023 there currently have been 1165 confirmed tornadoes in the United States (as of Nov 27). That's just under the annual average. For some storm chasers, 2023 was a great year, for others, very challenging and disappointing. Though I documented 20 tornadoes, I personally fall somewhere in between as I missed the majority of the spectacularly photogenic tornado events in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado. The year was characterized by nontypical chase setups in fringe states like Mississippi, Arkansas and Illinois as well as several hard to forecast long range, upslope set ups in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas had lower than average storm events it seems as the days of May Lee Low triple point set-ups rolling across the Plains were almost absent. Remarkable supercell structures were abundant across the entire alley.
REMARKABLE STORM EVENTS FEATURED:
On March 24, Powerful Tornadoes impacted MS, AL and TN at night. Morning light revealed catastrophic EF4 rated damage in Rolling Fork Mississippi
where 17 people lost their lives. Storm Chaser Brandon Clement documented the incredible damage with his drone. See his incredible video on his channel here...
• Rolling Fork Mississip...
3.31 ARKANSAS
Racing toward me at 50 mph was a killer EF3 In Arkansas. After ripping through Little Rock and Jacksonville, this tornado would injure 50 people
and miraculously only one fatality was reported. However, this outbreak was just beginning. another large, intense tornado was about to tear through Wynne Arkansas. In its wake of obliterated homes, the high end EF3 claimed the lives of 4 people.
4.04 ILLINOIS & IOWA
A fast moving tornadic supercell tracked from Missouri into Illinois. Several chasers were hit by a tornado with max EF3 rated damage. Luckily, the chasers would all survive. Because of the the high precipitation storm mode, extremely fast cell motion and difficult chasing terrain, I kept my distance. Over in Iowa, Scott Currens was documenting an incredibly photogenic tornado. See his footage here...
• Awe-Inspiring Rope Tor...
4.19 KANSAS
One storm in eastern Kansas would produce 8 tornadoes after sunset that would traverse mostly open country in the Flint Hills. Elsewhere near OKC, interacting supercells danced in a Fujiwhara effect producing numerous tornadoes.
5.12 NEBRASKA
A long tracking EF2 would track North near Lyons Nebraska where it was wrapped in heavy rain. a couple other EF2s would touch down during this outbreak including a photogenic tornado producer near Greeley and Spaulding Nebraska.
6.15 TEXAS & OKLAHOMA
The event of the day was a deadly EF3 tornado tearing through Perryton Texas, ending the lives of 3 people and injuring 100 others.
6.21 MATADOR TEXAS
On June 21, another extremely dangerous storm was tracking over a region with limited roads. While I was giving the storm a wide birth, Daniel Shaw managed to capture and report the intense rain-wrapped tornado prior to it striking Matador Texas. His reports directly resulted in locals seeking shelter. Unfortunately 4 deaths occurred. You can see Daniel's incredible account of this event here...
• Hidden Monster Tornado...
6.23 WYOMING
On June 23 in I finally scored some pretty tornadoes in Wyoming. The largest of the tornadoes would impact the outskirts of the small town Hawk Springs. No fatalities were reported. Chasing around the scenic bluffs and challenging road network, I managed to eek out a couple more tornadoes as the cyclic supercell moved into Nebraska. A damaging tornado would prompt a tornado emergency in Scott's Bluff and Gering as locals evacuated town. Fortunately no fatalities occurred.

And there's always moments that feel really special in a human way too. These are one of the reasons I really love his videos, and they always make me smile. An example in this video is 7:22. It's so rare he is stressed about things that really don't matter. He even has his emotions controlled well in life-threatening scenarios. I think these moments are also poetic in both the content of the message, but also its delivery: "AND! ... they didn't have... any golden grahams... at Love's... ...but they did have... Cinnamon. Toast. Crunch", and "but I think between venting to you guys, and my Cinnamon Toast Crunch... everything's gonna be okay" I LOVE IT. A true artist of the craft

Hey Pecos. I’m from Little Rock and I started watching your videos during the pandemic. You inspired me to become a certified storm spotter and chaser. I returned home from a work trip March 30 just in time to see a tornado tear across my city the next day. I was able to warn friends and family that morning thanks to what you inspired me to learn. Thank you again.

@@mommawolf9653 Another example unrelated to this channel, sometimes in automotive reviews, there is a follow or chase vehicle with a film crew filming a vehicle's performance as it moves around curves and over hills, and the driver is talking about the vehicle live. But when the camera perspective changes to behind the vehicle, there is no sign of a camera car in front of the vehicle which was just providing the footage given moments ago. This technique is used commonly, and spliced together in editing to give the impression that everything happening on the screen is live, that the camera filming it is invisible, like a set of eyes in the sky.
Praying for anyone who had to go through the TN tornadoes yesterday.

This is one of the best positive representations of America that I have ever seen. Right now a lot of Americans turn away from their home culture and glorify other cultures. I even did this to the point of moving abroad. This video shows so many aspects of America from the people who are willing to reach out to complete strangers, Cars and the specific type of freedom they provide, consumer culture, and even the amazing biodiversity that is present. I believe that this video is a cultural masterpiece.

@@Madrrrrrrrrrrrclearly you are not that educated on tornadoes. I don’t mean to sound like an asshole. Everyone who chases was new at one point. An EF3 tornado is extremely strong and can absolutely destroy majority of structures. Just because it doesn’t wipe a foundation clean doesn’t mean it’s not strong. EF5 is so strong the human brain cannot even comprehend it. If you ever get into chasing and see a tornado I think you will comprehend how strong they are a little bit better. Seeing them in person gives you a better understanding of how powerful they are. Whenever people ask me I tell them it looks fake. It’s so hard to comprehend what you are looking it. You can smell, hear and sometimes feel them. It’s a earththy, tree, leaf and dirt smell and a roar that I always associated with a waterfall.

I am in Little Rock, AR…we are still recovering from the March 31 storm. The🌪️ took out one of our Kroger stores, thankfully it reopened a few weeks ago. The news stations did not cover the bulk of the homes that were destroyed. Some homes sustained EF 4 damage. The area’s affected still looks like a war zone. 💔 Thanks for covering our state.
Another absolute amazing video from you once again! Keep up the great work, I’ve been watching your storm documentaries for years now. Can’t wait to see the next post!
I wonder if those snakes that you pick up go home and say to their family, "Geeze Louise! I was just abducted by this giant alien! He examined me all over, then dropped me down in the woods!"
The "incorrect" grasshoppers... You killed me. I laughed so hard I cried
I’m 63. At 63, you don’t have many hero’s. But if I did again….Pecos, you’d be that person. From “grasshopper navigators” to being ethically-conflicted. From “Big Daddy Sprites” to flatulent Bullfrogs. You blend cool music, a profound passion for nature, humour, humility, a deep knowledge for your subject, and compassion for people, animals….and gas station food. Above all, you’ve got a thing for Tornadoes that you relate to us, that just really resonates with me. Thank you Pecos, for 2023.

I also love your taste of music on your appreciation for all kinds of wildlife, we actually have a lot in common! 😅 I really appreciate the work you out into making these video's for our entertainment. Been a subscriber for a long time now and never missed a single video. Again, thank you for your hard work and keep doing what you have been doing for all of these years. I hope there are many more video's to come! Much love, Robin van Walsem 🇳🇱
Hey Hank, I've been watching your vidoes for a few years now, and I wanted to applaud the pacing in your videos. Not only does every video you make feature mind-boggling shots of storms and other weather phenomena, but it transitions beautifully between every part. The editing in your annual storm chasing videos is unmatched by any other documentary-like content I've seen on KZread, and it really enhances the experience. All this to say the grasshopper montage kept me laughing for longer than I wish it had. Amazing video as always :)
I always look forward to a new video from Hank. Thanks
Loving your videos, music selection, and humor quite a bit. After having dealt with an intense storm yesterday and insurance today I needed some photogenic tornados and silly grasshoppers. You're gonna be super busy this year so stay safe out there.
you are the reason I love watching storm chasers since the 3rd grade and I got interested into storms and tornadoes and I really wanna say thank you for expanding my interests in tornadoes 😋 (and I’m so glad I’m still watching these videos till this day)
I love that you educate us not only on storms, but wildlife as well, and you always stop to help people if they ask for it. Genuinely wholesome. 💕

I love these videos, thank you for making these yearly tornado videos, I'm looking forward for many more to come! And also please stay safe out there
Amazing footage as always. Missed the upload a bit but wow
Whenever these videos come out I feel like they are a checkpoint for the end of the year.
You know Its a good day when Pecos Hank uploads!!!
Good to "see" you Hank! I've missed watching your videos as regularly as I've been able to have in the past. Enjoy Argentina! Looking forward to seeing what you capture there!
I love your videos hank, much respect. It's always an adventure when I watch you chase tornadoes.
I wait for these all year every year! Can't wait to see more Hank!
Always a great day when Pecos Hank uploads. I really appreciate the approach you gave towards damaged areas. A level of respect and gravity to the raw human impact.

17:29 THAT is the shot of the year!
Your season recaps are always worth the wait. Keep up the amazing work, Hank.
Was having the worst day until I got the notification Pecos Hank posted, day turned around immediately
Love your videos, watched them ever since I was a kid. Stay safe out there! ❤
genuinely one of my favourite videos (and channels) on this platform.
Once again, by far the best cinematography by a single individual on KZread, I would argue it rivals bigger teams output as far as quality. Once again he delivers even though we knew this year wasn’t the best year he’s had chasing, it’s still such a beautifully crafted story.

One detail you neglected is that Hank has several colleagues who are also good at photography and video. Hank has been using shared video for years to be able to show different views of the same storm. His video editing, narration and background music are always very well thought through-- no wonder that other chasers are delighted to share footage with him!
I can't even say how thankful I am for your content. It's educational, interesting and obvious how much work and love you put into them. Looking back, it's been almost 10 years since I discovered your channel and learned a lot from it. It also valided my interest in the forces of mother nature. Thank you for your work! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us! Much love from Germany ❤
This video is absolutely beautiful! The editing, the music, the terrifying and awe-inspiring sights and sounds... It just really hit me on an emotional level! Amazing job!
Hi, Hank. You are my hero. I got into severe weather because of you and I just want to say thanks for everything you do
You know it’s going to be a good day when Pecos Hank uploads 🔥
We've been waiting for this
Another year and another tornado compilation. Thanks for your work
I always look forward to your videos. Every single one is a masterpiece.
