Visually stunning, mini documentary of the best tornado footage, lightning strikes, supercells and most beautiful storms I’ve documented. Not only is Mother Natureβs fury amplified with these explosive storms, So is her beauty.

MAKING OF THIS VIDEO:
I have devoted a large portion of my life to documenting thunderstorms from South Texas to North Dakota, and from California to Florida. The storms notorious in Tornado Alley can be terribly powerful, however the side I’m most interested in is her beauty. This is a collection of my all time most beautiful and greatest moments storm chasing. I have strived to capture steady shots in the worst conditions possible with no shaking, or windshield wipers. Though I’ve had many great encounters in my portfolio over the last 25 years, this video is mostly the last decade simply due to the increase in camera quality. Many great 1080p HD captures were left out to make room for the 4K storm footage. I hope you enjoy π
STORM INFORMATION:
Roughly 75% of the ENTIRE planetβs tornadoes are reported in the United States. Here, unique geography is ultimately responsible for the high frequency of extremely powerful storm cells. Though tornadoes most often make the headlines, all this excessive energy in the atmosphere can result in an freak show of other wonders.
Many of the phenomena we are familiar with and others we are still just discovering. Not only is Mother Natureβs fury amplified with these explosive storms, So is her beauty.
Storm updrafts most frequently erupt near late afternoon when daytime temperatures reach their highest.
RAINBOW INFORMATION
Rainbows are caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight in rain droplets. The secondary rainbow is visible when the light that is reflected twice inside raindrops is bright enough for detection. And Because this light is reflected twice, the order of the secondary rainbowβs colors are reversed.
WHY STORMS TURN GREEN:
The concentrated downdraft of heaviest rain and hail is the core
This icy waterfall often has a turquoise hue.
In the evening or morning when golden hour sun light mixes in, the storm can turn an eerie green.
SUPERCELL INFORMATION:
In a wind sheared environment cell updrafts may rotate, becoming a mesocyclone. Mesocycloneβs are the defining character of the rarest and most powerful breed of thunderstorms, the supercell. And itβs these supercells that are responsible for the majority of the worlds strong tornadoes. Thankfully, most of these tornadoes occur over sparsely populated areas causing little damage if any.
LIGHTNING INFORMATION:
Thunderstorms have the ability to create electric fields by separating pools of positive and negative charges. When oppositely charged regions become strong enough, a flash of lightning temporarily equalizes the difference. Most flashes occur within the storm, but roughly 1 in 5 initiate by a downward moving stepped leader that connects to the ground. This is a cloud-to-ground flash. The more powerful the thunderstorm, the less time needed for the regions to rebuild their energetic charges.
UPWARD MOVING LIGHTNING or Ground-to-cloud lightning:
On rare occasions lightning initiates from tall objects on the ground and propagates upward into the storm. During extraordinary events, two or three GROUND-TO-CLOUD flashes occur And during extremely rare conditions over a dozen bolts of lightning can leap up into the sky.
Near the ceiling of our troposphere, pouch like mammatus clouds hank underneath the storms anvil cloud. High above the anvil cloudds, mysterious large scale discharges burst into color. Scientists call these Transient Luminous Events (TLEs).

I never cared about the weather until I watched a Pecos Hank video. I was blind and now I see. Hallelujah
Look's deadly enough i guess
this was the coolest video iβve ever seen wish it was longer
We don't have these kinds of storms here in Australia. It's just terrifying and magnificent.
Nothing is more beautiful haunting and terrifying than nature.
Ok

We just not gonna mention the ufo at the end???
Are/were you aware that the UK has more tornadoes per square mile than than the US? Something to go with our and your land mass I think, but it's apparently a fact. Only seen 2 though over here (UK). El Reno 2013 on the other hand puts the whole caboodle into perspective. That one woke me up and made me cry. Total devastation that a UK resident doesn't ever want to see. Especially from a convertible Cebring!!! Blame my girl for that at the time.
Amazing video! Wow!!
Living in the midwest βhaving seen a few tornadoesβ I'd have to say the lightning storms might be more impressive. Especially the ones when there is no rain & just lighting. Sometimes so bright it feels like dawn or dust. Tornadoes are just scary, especially ones at night & you can't see it but only can hear the roar of a jet engine. You're in the middle of a windy downpour, then all of a sudden it stops raining, becomes really quiet with no wind & then a few minutes later you can hear this low rumble βalmost like the sound of a massive waterfallβ and suddenly the tornado appears.
woah, I thought it smth like National Geographic, so qualitative.. And what a beauty are the deadliest forces of our nature..
this is the best
Didnβt i see an ufo at 6:20? Or i was wrong?
πͺ
Wonderful mini-documentary! One of my 4th grade students is writing a research paper on the who, what, where, when, and why of tornados, and he learned so much from your film! Thank you!
6:17 theres a shooting star
i grew up in wamego kansas. the storms are so nostalgic for me i didnt even realize. now i cant wait for storm season 2022
Because in the uk we donβt get much lightning it was shocking to see a storm a couple years back with a flash every 4 seconds or so and now I know that that is mear average to other places
I can't seem to find the song at 1:56, can anyone help?
I never cared a
wait wait wait, guys watch 5:20 see if you can see it πΆπΆπΆ
Astrology are bonded together geography for example hurricanes detected in satellite systems or noaa
1:37 UFO`s ?
Amazing video, love how educational it is along with the beauty of the storms. Thank you Pecos!
Tornados are just whirlpools but for the planets
Stunning videoπ¨
I feel scared π±
Thanks Pecos Hanks π¨π€
DA RAINBOW PROVEZ DA EARTH IZ FLAT LIKE A PLATE OR πΏ DISC NOT A SPININNG BALL

Tha video is masterpieceππ₯
This narration is just excellent.

claiming insurance is quite common in these states…
I survived the 22 March 2022 march of destructive weather exiting Texas NorthEastward across the South. What an event…
