In 2021, 1376 tornadoes were confirmed
Causing over a hundred fatalities, the most tornado related deaths we’ve seen in the US since 2011.
Though it turned out to be an above average year in touch downs,
A continuing deficit of photogenic tornadoes seemed to inflate the reverence for nebulous, weak and rain-wrapped funnels. For most of the storm chasers, the surplus of incredible storm structures, lightning and atmospheric colors made chasing in 2021 well worth all the challenges.
FREAK DECEMBER TORNADO OUTBREAKS of 2021
On the evening of December 10th and dark AM hours of the 11th a deadly tornado outbreak devastated portions of the Ohio and mid Mississippi river valleys. In horrifying darkness multiple strong to violent, long tracking tornadoes destroyed thousands of homes and businesses,
some of which were completely leveled or swept from their foundations.
QUAD STATE TORNADO?
One long lived supercell produced two EF4 tornadoes where Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Kentucky borders are in close proximity. Several media outlets prematurely hyped these tornadoes as ONE “quad state tornado,” inaccurately claiming the longest tornado ever recorded. The first EF4 from this storm tracked “81 miles (130.7 km) killing seven people. With top wind speeds estimated at 190 mph” (306 km/h) The second tracked 165 miles (266.7 km) killing over 50 people. By sunrise on December 11th, 88 people had lost their lives.

DECEMBER 15th DERECHO
Four days later, a long-lived and fast moving, destructive wind storm
called a derecho spawned a swarm of tornadoes in the the Upper Midwest. The highest rated were only EF2s and no tornado related fatalities were reported. A freak December finished off 2021 with an additional 200 tornadoes. More than April and June combined.

I’ve missed you!!
I honestly like the bull snakes
Those sprites!!! Mind blowing.
Been too long. Wonder if he has anything on that Mayfield, Ky tornado. It came within an hour of Morehead KY.
So crazy! I remember Dec, 11th 2021 and that tornado outbreak/watching the radar's. Montgomery County, IN was so close to witnessing a tornado yet it dissipated before crossing from Illinois into Indiana soon after touch down. Thank you Pecos Hank! Gorgeous video!
2021 will always be my favorite year of storm spotting so far, saw my first sprites in July.
I’m from Lubbock Texas still live here
yasssssss, feels like I've been waiting forever for this video. Pecos Hank, you are inspiring.
Oooh neat shot of the circumhorizontal arc. Never heard of that before. Can you please explain more about those?
I have closed captioning on and about half the time someone said "tornado" the word "burrito" was in the closed caption.
It's kinda funny.
And I'll never look at a burrito the same way again.
5:35, dang, on my birthday!
I want to say thank you for the amazing video. These videos always amaze me and fill me with wonder. Always so calming but also very exciting, if that makes any sense lol.
Entertaining and enriching once again!!!
