MONSTER HAIL Smashing Windshield Next to Tornado 

Shoulda said "the hook might hit us with suitcases full of money"

Stay safe out there; safety glasses or ballistic rated sunglasses, 3M window film-we can't lose you to some random injury or event that keeps you off the trail! Godspeed, brother, and thanks for all you do!

That shot of the sky (0:27) before the baseball hit was simply enchanting. Love your documentation of everything, from storms, to road trips, to nighttime sky phenomena, to animals- all fantastic stuff, Mr. Hank. Stay safe, and thank you for sharing!

Car repair shop: Usual? Pecos Hank: yeah

You know it’s gonna be a good day when this guy uploads

Pecos : "the hook might hit us with some hail" The hook: "and then I started blasting"

There is seriously an artistic beauty to how you portray these storms and the eerie ambience between the calm. Pretty sure you're the only channel I immediately drop everything and watch instantly when there's a new upload. Thanks for keeping the fascinated by tornadoes and severe weather child in me happy :)

As part of a research opportunity at my school I’m going out across the country for two weeks and chasing these storms and documenting them. Growing up watching your videos I’ve always dreamed of chasing storms, and now it’s happening for real.

Best cinematography in the storm chasing field by far. Way to go Hank!

Crazy. One baseball sized hailstone took out your windshield and cascaded into all the other problems. Glad you and your lizard brain are safe. You're my absolute favorite storm chaser because of your calm demeanor, kindness to people and critters and your beautifully artistic videos!

That shot from 1:28 - 2:00 is superb! The funnel cloud is perfectly framed by the street and trees and lightning flashes in the distance to silhouette the tornado, all while those eerie sirens are going off and leaves are flying all over the place. The storm feels like a giant monster looming over this small town. Amazing work.

Despite all the problems and difficulties, he doesn't get rattled or frustrated, and still sees the beauty of the storm, and stays positive. Good old Pecos

So happy to see a video for Hank come up. Your footage is always so beautiful, and your narration is the best. By far the best storm chasing around. Thanks for all you do Hank.

Wow! 1:27 to 2:00 is such an eerie shot, the night, coupled with the splash of light right down the middle of the road, the tornado sirens in the background, the rush of wind, and that monster lingering over head. Like something out of a horror movie.

Glad you didn’t get any glass shards in your eyes man. I’m also glad you are getting in on some chasing this year, really looking forward to your videos!

Aside from that freak hail, the shots you got in this video Hank were absolutely amazing. Going down the street with the looming silhouette of the tornado above was more cinematic than any movie could ever capture. Keep up the amazing work, and stay safe in your travels.

I jumped when the hail hit the windshield 😂 I wanted to see how big it was. Great video, as always!

pecos hank is the bob ross of storm chasing

2:00 Captions: yeah, there’s another burrito 🤟🏻🌯🤟🏻🌪️ 🤣🤣🤣

Congrats on 1M Subs btw 🥳🎉 much deserved! I have been watching you since 2018🤟🏾

Be careful out there Hank. Keep up the good work you do helping keep people and animals safe.

Thanks for taking one for the team!! I appreciate everything you do to give us a heads up on these storms!!

Hank takes the best videos of any other chaser, and his calm demeanor makes them a joy to watch... Thank you Hank!!!

Love the quality of your content! There are lots of people doing weather-related videos out there, but you, sir, are in a class of your own! Thank you for doing what you do!

Hail was just trying to smash that like button, in its own crude way. Can't be hatin'.

1:27 gosh this siren gave me the chills

It’s dangerous work you’re doing! But your ability to stay calm and assess the situation is incredibly admirable

I seriously hope I can see one of these one days, from a safe distance of course! So cool every time you get a chance to upload, stay safe out there!

Who would give Pecos Hank a ticket?? He's a legend, dammit!! 😝 That baseball hitting at 32 seconds scared the crap out of me! 😱 Beautiful footage in the very beginning. Glad you're safe 🙏

Please make longer videos. I need my storm chasing video fix, and you are, hands down, the best. I can’t take anymore of trying to endure Reed Timmer’s never-ending over-acted hollering and screaming…

That scene of the tornado looming over town framed by the city street lights, leaves flying in the headlights… award winning, freakin amazing, beautiful, terrifying…

Hank your the absolute OG I have enjoyed watching your come up over the years brother and your music is top notch too. El Reno Blues is a certified classic! Stay well brother.

We don't get storms like this in Ireland but I'd love to see one , looks unbelievable, it's just sad to see the devastation it leaves behind. Love the videos Hank stay safe brother

Crazy how a “low tornado risk day” like April 19th created some monster tornadoes in Oklahoma and Kansas

Night tornadoes that creep along in the dark are one of my biggest fears (and fascinations). Great footage of this one, even with a cracked windshield. Im glad that hail didn't cause any major injuries. Stay safe 🙏

That storm was like, "hey hank! good to see you! Here! Have a baseball size hail!" glad you weren't too severely hurt, but your windshield, poor thing...

OMG. A great day when you can watch Hank. Sorry about your window. Hope you didn’t get any cuts. It was just telling you to move a bit. Damn what a day. Thank you for making our Sunday amazing. Stay safe Hank

Amazing captures as always, and here's hoping the camera makes a full recovery! That view of intermittent lightning showing a menacing tornado right in front is one of the more menacing, creepy things I've seen in a while!

Who else jumped when the hail hit his windshield? Glad your ok Hank!

You know Hank, I just started watching your videos again, and it's like see an old friend again with that smile of yours 💕

Wow Hank, that was amazing, some of the best 3 minutes I've had. I am glad you were not hurt, and yeah the footage was great, love the montage as the flashes reveal the Burriot widening by the second, amazing work by you and Nature! Great partnership you have there. I think that Baseball is a sign that 2023 is going to be a big year for Burritos!

Excelente video, muy cientifico gracias desde Barcelona Europa

Theres a reason I follow you and literally no other weather chasers. Your videos are always straight to the point, and real. Love your work.

Smart showing lightning frames in a row. Never seen anyone else do that. Pecos always does a great job making beautiful shots.

@Pecos Hank your videos of meteorological events have inspired me look further and research this beautiful yet scary creation. Tornado Alley is quite the place. Love every video.

Wow! That large hailstone smashing the windshield startled me lol

Very beautiful storm and although it sucks, the windshield did look kind of pretty after the baseball sized hail hit. I love your attitude and you are an amazing storm chaser/person. I do hope we get to see more of you in the future. I absolutely love your videos no matter what it is about. Keep up the awesome work and stay safe. I am so so glad you didn’t get hurt. 😄💙🐬🫶🏼

i've been watching you since 2014, and it's always so exciting seeing a new video out. You got me into meteorology and tornado and now i am an intern storm chaser! Keep up the amazing work man!

While you’re saying time to run, I would’ve been freaking out. Great video Hank!

I can’t believe the size of that hail ball.. Talk about the jumpscare when it happened! Almost made me jump- (My volume was almost all the way up.)

I always look forward to seeing your videos a few days after a storm. Thank you for the way you film them. It’s art in nature!

So nice to see another video! With all the windshields that you get smashed, maybe think about adding a metal windshield cage for real protection. Something that you can easily bolt on and off!

I only watch you in terms of tornado videos because you are composed no screaming you just go straight to the point of the video

Your videos are on a different level than most I see. All of them good and all. I enjoy watching everyones. But, yours has signature beauty to them. Keep doing what you do and be safe.

Hello hank! I haven't watched the video yet, but wanted to get something off my chest, so to speak. Your channel got me through some...pretty dark times in the past. The music you make with your band (My favorite is Glamorous Adagio!), the adorable moments you show with various animals, your intriguing commentary and discoveries (I never even knew of red sprites before your channel lol.). I could go on. But your channel is a beacon of wholesomeness that helped me through a pretty rough time. Since I first discovered you, I got better, medicated, therapitized (original word don't steal x3), and tomorrow i'm taking my first of four GED tests. I wanted to thank you for being cool! For being wholesome, a genuinely decent person, and just...thanks. I hope you find even more joy than your videos give me, because you deserve it. From a stranger on the internet, thanks ^w^

You’ve given us more than we deserve honestly, love your vid’s but stay safe man! Your safety matters to us more.

Whoa! That was an amazing capture, Hank. I truly appreciate the fact that you recognized that the spiderweb appearance of the windshield was pretty, I think so too. Who else would regularly stop to pick up a turtle in the road between active chases? Digging your positive vibes! Stay safe.

That's one dark ass storm

In Iowa there were tornadoes popping up everywhere. I thought for sure I would have to keep running my animals up and down my basment stairs. It was crazy. You are my favorite tornado chaser!

Man that storm threw that one hail stone right at you like it had some personal beef to settle. 😅

No matter how long the video is, it makes my week!

I find thunderstorms and tornadoes so fascinating and beautiful.

The storm knows who its #1 fan is and sent you a special souvenir!! Glad you’re safe, Hank!

Sorry to hear about your bad luck! Glad you are okay! Good luck with getting the windshield repaired.

experienced a pretty heavy thunderstorm that dropped some hail on us. very weird considering we live in super hot south texas. Take care Hank

Imagine just looking at a tornado with some heavy sounds... Then BOOM CRACK! Randomly

Hank's at the top of the "fire hail on sight" list for midwestern storms everywhere.

Tornado sirens have to be one of the most terrifying sounds in the whole wide world. Their so eerie and urgent at the same time.

Can we all take a quick second to congratulate this man for reaching 1 Million subs

This guy is awesome. Always cool footage, I can watch these for hours and listen to his stories.

These videos are pretty cool! You dont yell when you see a tornado and you even help animals confused on the road! Im glad you’re ok! Stay safe out there! ❤🌪

I love the calm(not screaming) narrative you deliver! You explain relevant facts without the hyperbole.

Hank, you're one of, if not the best person on youtube for storm chase videos. The editing, and the amazing shots you get of these storms is incredible. I've been here for a few years and always look forward to these. Too bad about the windshield though! Wild way to begin the tornado season. I've got a feeling it's going to be a good year.

Love when this guy uploads, seeing these storms looks super cool.

I see much hasn’t changed. Hank is still the GOAT of storm chasing and weather content on RU-vid.

Glad you're ok. Hopefully the new TIT didn't suffer too much damage. Be safe out there on the chase!

Always loved your videos hank!

I hereby declare this day Pecos Hank Day

PecosHank is simply the best in the biz!

1:41 I especially love to have picnics during stormy tornado nights. Perfect weather to have one.

Your footage never fails to amaze me. Undoubtedly one of my favorite storm chasers to watch in my free time. Keep it up man.

Off topic (sort of) but this might occur in the UK as a few hours ago all of our phones went off with an eas test alarm so idk what to do but hope all of you are safe

Wow, Hank, I'm glad you're okay! That was one scary twister with those baseball-sized hailstones!

Stay safe out there, looks like it's going to be a crazy year. Really looking forward to seeing what you find this tornado season as you have one of the best videos on RU-vid ❤️🙏❤️

the beginning looks like something straight from a christopher nolan movie

Glad you weren't seriously hurt, stay safe out there!

The wide angle was awesome! Bummer about the windshield but it's good you showed it because reminds viewers of one of the many hazards you face in your work. I'm glad you're all right and hope no one in the town got hurt!

dude the view you had of the tornado driving through the town was like something out of a movie..you inspire me everyday man.

During monsoon a couple of years ago here in phoenix, we got hail the size of SOFTBALLS. Traffic slammed to a stop, windshields shattered, and RVers were pulling bikers into their RVs for cover. It was biblical.

I hope your ok Pecos!! And I hope your luck gets better too!!!

Man, that’s a vicious storm. Stay safe Hank!

The shot with the lightning flashing to make the tornado visible straight ahead of you on the road is absurdly dope

You’ll always be the best chaser and calm

How many broken windows have you got so far in your career of storm chasing?

That was rather scary ! Sad you lost the windshield in the process of getting some amazing footage Sir ! Glad you're ok ! Thanks for taking us along with you on your adventures and sharing this with the world Sir ! ✌️❤️🙏

That first shot is mesmerizing

Man what a turn of events you always have in your videos! Absolutely love your content!

Always wear safety goggles folks.

Congrats on 1 million!!!

Here is a comment of a fans from Hong Kong. I love your videos man. I have followed your channel for over 10 years. Since you make awesome storm footage and you speak calm. Even through I don't understand some of the Meteorology vocals. I still remember I left a dumb comment in the 2013 El Reno tornado video😂. I hope you won't mind about that.
