If you don't feel like watching the full footage captured on dashcam, skip to 4:05 where I drive into the Derecho. I apologize for the horrible sounding muffler as mine had a hole in it at the time which is why it sounds like the way it does in the video *Note I am NOT a storm tracker or a professional storm chaser. I knew the risks involved in doing so*
@The Mind of Blake Clean up your mouth. Everyone is just sharing their experiences that day. Try to understand that or you're going to be a part of everything that is wrong with this country.
I am glad you missed the worst of the Derecho. We saw a billboard, the old kind with the huge steel I-beam legs, folded back on itself to the ground, on Hwy-30 just west of Cedar Rapids. The most violent Midwestern weather I've ever seen!
@@sonidoexperiencia being under an overpass is the last thing you want to in that situation, and in tornadoes too. All it does is funnel the winds and debris right at you, speeding it up due to the wind tunnel effect.
Yes, this is what I was wondering. I know for tornedos, you should not take shelter under an overpass because of the wind tunnel effect....so this would also apply to a derecho?
Ya that was a scary day, we were watching from.our porch, never seen the skies like that before, green weird color,beautiful but scary!! We were in Belvidere, like 10min. From where you were. Scariest thing ever!! We felt the house shaking from the basement, never again do i want to experience that!
we were traveling from Kentucky to portland oregon and saw this coming. we stopped and got a room in Illinois for safety. didn't want to stop, but, I didnt want to endanger my family. Glad o stooped because it really scared us
Storm chasers: "let's get the closest we can get!!" Me: *even a speck of wind* "EVERYBODY GET UP AND GET TO SHELTER NOW!!!!!!!" fun fact: when I was 9 I saved almost my whole family in the morning from a tornado by staying up all night. :D
it's tricky... when one hit Southern ON and Quebec last month, NOBODY expected the storm to be as bad as it was going to be.. don't think even the experts knew what was coming until pretty late, if not too late. I know alerts were sent out, at least in some areas, just minutes before it hit. For my area? None of us got an alert.. or at least no one in my household (we get Amber Alerts so it wasn't a matter of not being connected). Our side of the city got off lightly, opposite side lost power and trees. But yea.. I'm shocked at anyone who kept driving.. especially in areas with lots of potential hazards like trees and power lines..
1:15 what was that WEA for? Tornado warning I’m guessing? The severe thunderstorm warnings AND PDS WATCH should’ve been sent over WEA. We had about 15 minutes lead time with sirens before we lost electricity, which happened 3 minutes after the first drop of rain.
@@vengefulones6435 yes we do but also too I was 'tracking' the storm prior when I had saw the warnings when I was driving towards town. Then I had gotten the tornado warning and was able to kinda pin point the approx. location of it and it wasn't close by the area I was at. Probably a stupid thing to do I know.
I don't like way that semis parked because the wind could trip it over and can land onto that car I don't like seeing it that way and that bridge is like a wind tunnel.
I was a mile north by state st and i seen a funnel cloud go right along state st it was white and spinning fast i seen our flags go straight up in the air when i got home a big tree and powerlines where on my garage at 9:30 the electric came on and sparked a fire lucky the fire department stayed with me all night tell COMED turned off the power at 6:30 in the morning i was without power for 3 or 4 days lucky nothing in garage was damaged
Don’t park under bridge overpasses during storms unless you’re hiding from hail. They create a wind tunnel effect and are much more dangerous, especially with a tornado around.
Basically it's a widespread straight line wind storm which lasts a while which is associated with very strong winds usually hurricane force winds which also brings with it severe thunderstorms. You can see the straight line clouds in the video
So you'd rather they risk their safety just so you can see, what? Trees fall? Branches fly? Rain blowing sideways? There's tons of vids for that already. Don't get mad at him for playing it safe. There's never any shame in hunkering down.

@@TheRealMiamiman70 so you're condoning what they said?
If i see people pulling over they know something I don't.

When big rigs pull over... you better pull over too..
Into The night
I was in one of these in Montana years ago. The big rigs were pulling over. I followed one to a motel and hunkered down.
They always warn you not to go to an underpass during a Tornado. It just funnels the wind and debris directly to you.
@@sonidoexperiencia being under an overpass is the last thing you want to in that situation, and in tornadoes too. All it does is funnel the winds and debris right at you, speeding it up due to the wind tunnel effect.
🔥🔥🔥💯
My man with the fresh rainx apllicAtion. What picture quality through a windshield in pouring rains. Thank you and well done
I'm not sure being in an under pass is the safest place. You have tornado strength winds and that'll create a wind tunnel effect.
Yes, this is what I was wondering. I know for tornedos, you should not take shelter under an overpass because of the wind tunnel effect....so this would also apply to a derecho?
@@catbee1452 wind is wind whether in a straight line or rotating.
Its not per Ryan Hall etc Most chasers say No rain yes hurricane, tornado derecheo Not!
@donnaduhamel6004 well, Ryan Hall isn't a meteorologist. He just plays on on you tube. I'd take the word of James Spann over Ryan any day.
Nice quality dash cam.

Tiffany Stephens we were at Hononeagh forest preserve camping and we were told to get to the shelter but it wasn’t as bad as this
I was driving the silver camry hybrid.. i wish i had stopped under a bridge too! crazy small world lol
At 3:52 right ?
@@sonidoexperiencia yes!
T-128 tornado siren at 3:15
Thats intresting, are they uncommon?
NariNaraga22 No they are very common that I know of
The large truck actually added some protection for the vehicles off to the side...
That weird bluish green color is wild

9:59 lightning strike

Beautiful country road!
Take me home...
Jackstraw 81 😂🤣

I see rotation id turnaround and get to shelter
there was no rotation as the derecho was straight line wind...but still I would run for cover.
@@jackio46 Rockford had 2 tornadoes
@@thrasherx2k1 yes, but they were not in the video, so the comment was likely to the cloud instead.
Glad you had enough sense to pull over. THere are videos on here where the drivers kept driving.
Wow quite the damage you folks out in Rockford got
So many people on the road! Did people not believe the weather forecast !?!
They didn't have much notice. It was crazy.
virtually nobody thought it would be this bad

5:35 dont hide under overpasses!
Your on Cherry Valley road heading NW towards and into Cherry Valley. How do you wind up on that road coming from Ogle county?
So i exited off of route 19 and then turned onto blomberg rd which eventually crosses with cherry valley rd
7:36 That's just dangerous and stupid. Any meteorologist will tell you to NOT stop under an overpass.
Didn't have much of a choice. Visibility was reduced significantly and people drive fast enough as it is here especially when it rains
1:15 what was that WEA for? Tornado warning I’m guessing? The severe thunderstorm warnings AND PDS WATCH should’ve been sent over WEA.
We had about 15 minutes lead time with sirens before we lost electricity, which happened 3 minutes after the first drop of rain.
We have bad weather here in Beloit Wisconsin to but it wasn't that bad
That storm litteraly just missed my touwn by 39 miles in iowa
I would've made a 🐝 line for the 🚒 dept I'm sure they would've let you take cover there
Geez how fast were you going?
That wasn't so bad. I saw one turn day to night. At least at night you have moon and stars.
im honestly glad my town didnt get hit hard like other people did from this, just see the video makes me literaly saw holy shit
When you hear tornado sirens why wouldn't you stop and look for shelter?
We live for the thrill.
@@vengefulones6435 yes we do but also too I was 'tracking' the storm prior when I had saw the warnings when I was driving towards town.

We Illinois people love our storms lol
2:37 green sky might wanna find shelter
Did the KIIM truck stop in the lane of traffic
I don't like way that semis parked because the wind could trip it over and can land onto that car I don't like seeing it that way and that bridge is like a wind tunnel.
All that for " A tree Branch" . Pun intended.
What type of car are you driving
I was out laying in. the field ..with granny lulu miss mary just little wind
9:53 Bad Idea.
I was a mile north by state st and i seen a funnel cloud go right along state st it was white and spinning fast i seen our flags go straight up in the air when i got home a big tree and powerlines where on my garage at 9:30 the electric came on and sparked a fire lucky the fire department stayed with me all night tell COMED turned off the power at 6:30 in the morning i was without power for 3 or 4 days lucky nothing in garage was damaged
WOW, so glad you are OK!! Great guys and gals on your fire department. Nice to hear something like this.
Forgot to say there was a similar tornado down by I-88 in Kane County. That's probably why the tornado siren was sounded in Elgin.
How does youtube know where I live 🏃🏾♀️
I believe I d pull off road and eat those Derecho s with salsa while it s storming.
Hope all are safe.
Don’t park under bridge overpasses during storms unless you’re hiding from hail. They create a wind tunnel effect and are much more dangerous, especially with a tornado around.
What's a Derecho??
Basically it's a widespread straight line wind storm which lasts a while which is associated with very strong winds usually hurricane force winds which also brings with it severe thunderstorms. You can see the straight line clouds in the video
@@sonidoexperiencia ok i figured it was similar to straight line winds i just never heard it termed as a Derecho.
Scared of a little rain?
I don’t know if a little bit of rain would make everyone including a huge semi stop on the road like that.
Real Exciting.
Especially when parked in under pass.
Total waste of time....yet ANOTHER video posted with deceiving Title.
a total waste of YOUR time so much that you took the time to comment on a video from 7 months ago.
Nothing to see here
13:01 😬
Very smart! Thats exactly what I would have done too! Good for you!
They say NEVER do this .
What "click bait" crap this is! Most of the clip being shot under a bridge! Oh wow! How exciting! NOT!!!
So you'd rather they risk their safety just so you can see, what? Trees fall? Branches fly? Rain blowing sideways? There's tons of vids for that already. Don't get mad at him for playing it safe. There's never any shame in hunkering down.
I literally put that i pulled over in the pinned comment above.
I got a thrill out of it but I am NOT a storm tracker. There are plenty of other storm trackers on TH-cam you can search for
