Extreme Weather: Tornado Season Teach-Out

In 1994 Hank captured his first bolt of lightning on film and in 2002 his first tornadoes. By 2008 He was a professional extreme weather videographer working for local TV stations in Houston TX and now licenses storm footage to national and international entities such as BBC Earth, National Geographic, The Weather Channel, Discovery Channel, and many more. The "Pecos Hank" youtube channel features an educational and cinematic delivery of severe weather as well as frequent encounters with the wild animals and interesting people he meets while living on the road day to day in Tornado Alley.

In this conversation with Perry, Hank talks about the experience of tornado chasing. He shares his expertise not only about what it is like to chase tornadoes, but also what he learned from doing so and why chasing makes an important contribution to atmospheric science and meteorology.
