    Sorry for your loss😢 I'm on a farm in Marshall, Wisconsin. I live in a RV on the farm. The farm was hit on Saturday night by a tornado too. Klecker farm. Direct hit. I bet we lost 200 tree's, 3 roofs off 3 building's, barn total loss. Neighbour lost RV and garage 😢 I know how you feel. Peace and love people.

    I live in Rockford. I’m a trained spotter and hobby chaser. That was a “double barreled” Tornado. My niece lives up there. Had I known that was a hot area I would have been up there. Eyes to the skies!

    Glad it wasn't worse, but it had to be gut-wrenching seeing it and knowing your house was in it's path.

    • @alecscholten9464
      @alecscholten9464  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Absolutely. As a storm chaser, the damage is something I’ve seen many times, but the feeling is much different when it is your own property that is being impacted.

    It took my shed and gave it to someone else. Not sure who. I did find a partial wall.
    Most of my fence is gone. Some siding, facia missing.
    Rider mower was lifted up and put in neighbors yard. We faired very well considering some of our neighbors. And the main thing is not one person was really hurt. We thank God for that.

    Oh, Lord. Glad they're alright. I've passed by Janesville many times. I used to vacation in far Northern Wisconsin when I was younger. I was in Fremont, wisconsin fishing on the Wolf River when a supercell thunderstorm developed somewhat quickly ahead of me. I was terrified. Had never seen a supercell before. I passed through Janesville maybe a few months ago.

    Wow, that is tough to see. Glad you are ok and that y'all still have roofs. If your yard is fenced for pups, I hope they aren't too traumatized. How fortunate that the trees went down in the best possible way. Can't imagine watching it knowing it was near your home. Wishing the best with the clean-up from next door in MN.

    The Williams Bay tornado touched just down from where I live and I had family on the south side of Janesville. That was nuts for Wisconsin. Sorry to hear about all the property damage but thankful that Saturday's tornadoes didn't claim any lives.

    I bought an older house in Oklahoma a few years ago. I chose a town that had never been hit by a tornado thinking I was somewhat protected. Until a tornado came up my street last month, the town still looks like a disaster area! Thank God I got a ranch house, I didn't lose my roof! The taller houses did!

    This is a really well put together video! Your car sounds like it would be fun to drive! I am sorry your house got hit, but glad no one was hurt! I live in the area; this was very unusual weather. Several years ago, there was a derecho that went through town and did lots more damage, but no one was hurt then either. Storms can be very scary at the moment of impact!

    This is something we don't see very often especially where I live. I am just North of Menominee Falls in Jackson, but storms generally fall apart here as it is just 1 county over to the East when storms hit that cooler air off of Lake Michigan. I was going to go chase that day as I normally do when they are within 2-3 hrs from me, but I knew they were going to be mainly rain wrapped, and without another passenger to help guide me and film while I drive I chose not to chase. I was right as they all became rain wrapped. Great capture of the touchdown tho and sorry about your house getting struck! Hopefully you have insurance?

    Been some nasty weather in that part of the world this year, I live in Memphis in the south and went through a tornado about 6 in the morning it was a EF 2 but it wasn't a direct hit just the inflow, that was freaky enough, not even a mile away though was a different story, lots of damage , that was around 4 years ago, about 14 years I was just got done eating at a casino buffet in Mississippi and was heading home afterwards and got blown off the road by a spin up tornado in a tree,it shoved the motor into the car, I bent the steering wheel all the way down on both sides,shattered my hip and ankle ,broke the femur in my leg cut my spleen also damaged my knee ,my leg was twisted backwards and the pontiac lettering from the steering wheel was pressed on my chest,3 days before that on October 23 ,2010 my house caught fire and nearly burned down at 4:30 am, that was definitely the worst week of October I ever had ,glad I was able to wake 2 other people up and get them out,sure am glad nobody died in your tornado ✌️

    Are you a chaser? I'm assuming you are because we are usually the only ones out In this type of situation intentionally. I was not out on this one---Ironic Since it was right in my own town. I live across the river on the west side. So only a few miles away. I was watching multiple radars, And was shocked when I saw a debris ball! That just doesn't happen here! But obviously It does now You got some good footage and I am so sorry that you had damage.. It makes it different when it's in your neighborhood. Goid video!
