Thank you all so much for the kind wishes. It is so hard not to cry "happy tears" reading all of your stories about him and how his channel has impacted each and every one of you. He really loved this channel and I'm so glad y'all loved him just as much.
Please make playlists, much love from below the Carpathians in România, my brother has bought the mp3 s about 10 years ago , we still got em , much love ❤
Always love riding in the passenger seat of his white truck during rain drives through Austin. Also loved "cyber visiting" his house, carport, and backyard during rain storms, all the trees and birdhouses dancing in the rain driven winds. Very calming and comforting. This has been my go-to channel for 15 years and still is Blessings to the O'Connors.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate your kind words and wishes. I will try and make the videos better thank you for taking the time to give advise!
I think Duke would be very proud to have this be your first video since taking the reins, you caught an awesome short storm. I've always enjoyed his content and with you taking over I hope to enjoy it for even longer. RiP Duke
Rip DUKE THANK YOU FOR HELPING KEEP CALM WHEN I was Overwhelmed as both a kid and adult, thank you for helping me study for big test, and remaining at peace in this concrete jungle . I'm sorry your gone but your will lives on in your niece and everyone who enjoyed your videos since 2008.❤ I hope you get to listen to rain whenever you want in the after life.
I started listening to him right before my first child was born. He cried all the time, but when I put on that 12 hour box fan? There was peace in my home! There's a special place in heaven for Duke.
Something about the rain is just wired in us that is relaxing I think the children know it . I believe you❤ It worked for my daughter as well when she was a newborn@@CannotBBlank
It fills my heart with sorrow to hear he passed away. I have been listening and falling asleep to his videos for years. I don't know how many times I have watched and replayed his 4 to 10 hr long videons when he drives around in the rain. Instant sleep and relaxation. Thanks for keeping his chanel alive. We will all miss him dearly and great job with your first video ❤. Good luck!
I had no idea that the Yogaduke died last year. I am sorry for your loss and although I've never met him, I feel genuinely sad hearing that he's gone. I've been enjoying his nature sounds for years. This is a nice, relaxing video and I'm sure he'd approve. Thank you and take care.
I am also very sad to hear he has passed away. I wish you and all his family all the best and strength. He is surely very happy that you continue his work to help millions of people around the world to relax and calm down. Thank you!
RIP Duke I had to move states suddenly back in 2015, where I moved was very different from my home state and it was hard adjusting to my new life, your uncle’s videos helped me a ton with the anxiety and sleep issues I was having. I didn’t know what ASMR was back then so I wasn’t sure why I liked these kinds of videos so much but it was an every night thing, I’ve probably listened to the oscillating fan videos a thousand times since then. I’m glad you’re continuing the channel and I know you’ll make great videos that Duke would be proud of.
Great to see the channel continue. There are so many crappy AI generated ones now, to get an OG one on this channel is a real treat. Thank you for keeping the legacy alive, to echo the other comments these videos have helped me get through tough times, to just feeling that bit cosier during a night's sleep, or helping with concentration at work, or masking out that screaming kid on a long haul flight. Keep up the great content. Thank you!
Hello Duke's niece. Just read your sad news of you losing your uncle and offer my deepest condolences. TexasHighDef video's saw me through trauma recovery. I will never, ever forget those hours of saving grace, listening/watching the storms in his backyard or the waves crashing in San Fran, where he lost one of his camera's to the sea. RIP Duke.
Sadly, he passed away unexpectedly in July 2023. I am his niece and namesake. I am working on keeping his preserving his channel. I am glad his channel helps with your ptsd. As a veteran with ptsd not many things help me but his videos always did.
@@TexasHighDef I'm so saddened by this. Seeing a new video on this channel has always been the bright spot of my day. Well he left a great legacy, with his peaceful enjoyable videos (among many other things, I'm sure). RIP Duke
Rest in Peace, Duke. I always come to these channels ran by your uncle because no other videos relax me, but also bring me peace and comfort the way his recordings did. I always had wanted to tell him how I started watching his videos years ago when I lived in Louisiana where it rained more, but started watching his videos more when I moved to Texas in the Austin area surprisingly because it rains less here and I missed the rain. When I moved here anytime it was raining for awhile I would look here or the other channel and sure enough somehow he captured it perfectly. These videos have always helped me through physical and mental health issues and for that I will always be greatful to him. Thank you for continuing his channel. It means a lot to many people. Please keep all the videos up! Also I wanted to say I am very sorry for your loss. He seemed like a truly great guy. ❤
Your uncle game me many restful nights after a hard day of work and not able to get to sleep until I found his channel and begin to listen to these ASMR channels. Amazing person to give his time to his fans. Condolences🙏
Awww I used to follow this channel since 2012. I will miss him. I kinda uspected he had transitioned. He brought me a lot of happiness. Thank you for sustaining his legacy. You'll do a great job.
No freaking way!!! My deepest condolences to the family and closest friends 💖💖😢 I stumbled across this channel looking for videos to help me sleep 6 years ago. I hope his legacy will be continued ♥️♥️💐
I have been listening for so many years... I listen to a 4 hour storm video nearly every night for years and years now. I'm so sorry for yours and your family's loss. He meant so much to so many of us, and brought so much peace and rest to so so many, and his legacy lives on. ❤ Great 1st video. Thank you for sharing
@@TexasHighDef I am very sad to hear this. His videos were one of the many things that drew me to Austin almost a decade ago, and I regret not meeting him. I discovered after I moved here he was also a cyclist, another love we shared.
@@scottleitch2957 Hello, I am sorry I'm still learning all of these things. I know in the past he did have them available. I will try and find out more information for you. I am not sure if you read the post where my uncle has passed. Hopefully soon I will be able to get you more information.
I am so sorry to learn of your uncle's passing. I have enjoyed his channel since the COVID-19 pandemic when I needed something calming in my life, and I have been a fan ever since. Please accept my condolences.
Deepest condolences to you and your family. I wish I had the words that would assuage your grief. But please know these videos have helped me immeasurably to cope with life.
Yoga Duke, Texas High Def! Where have you been? I thought you disappeared off the face of the earth, haven't seen you in so long. Thank you for this video--I love all your work. Nice pleasure seeing you again, man!
@@TexasHighDef This is terrible news, I am sorry for your loss. If it's any consolation, his rain videos have brought me great peace and helped me sleep many many hundreds of nights over the years.
I'm a little late but I just want to say thank you duke. I grew up with your fan sounds and they have helped me through the good and bad times for so many years. I'm forever thankful for the memories your videos have made me and the moments of calm I've felt from the fan sounds and rain sounds. I still remember back in 2014 discovering your videos and being able to play them to sleep and relax. I hope you rest well duke and am forever thankful for the videos that you uploaded. thank you Duke. Rest in peace
Rest peacefully Duke. His videos have helped me in so many ways to calm my nerves and also help me sleep. I have a whole playlist complied of my favorite videos from him. Supporter 7+ years. This video is excellent, you did well.
You're doing a wonderful job. Great video! I've been here since the channel started and it's been a complete unlock for my work productivity. Thank you for continuing your Duke's work!
What? I just read this! Wasn't he also called Yogaduke? This man changed my life, I have a favorite rain video that I have used for years to help me sleep. I am so sorry, he was a very caring person to insomniacs like me. May he RIP.🙏🏽
Lindsey I am so sorry to read about the passing of your Uncle Duke. I have been listening to Texas Rainstorm for years and it has brought me so much peace and restful sleep. I always wondered about who the generous person was uploading these wonderful sounds. Thank you for this new video, the doves cooing was so special because that is one of my earliest sound memories. Again my condolences to you and your family and I look forward to any new videos that you share with us. RIP Duke.
