- A derecho occurred in the Midwest which produced widespread wind damage and power outages. This is a severe thunderstorm that went through the Quad Cities metro area. Sorry for the background noise, my grandma was watching Judge Judy.
This video is amazing. 0:01 the sound of the sirens is amazing in this silence and lack of wind...15:07 I haven't seen such wind in a long time...
I Actually Herd The Winds Whipping In The Distance! Man Mother Nature At It's Finest!
Thats scary!!!!!!!
We were in the first of 6 lockdowns in Victoria Australia when l came across the warnings for this storm and l was absolutely glued to the screen watching all the videos people were posting.
Still finding videos l haven't yet seen. It was certainly a biggie!
Those were 2 very tall trees! I'm glad they didn't get blow over on those two homes.
0:00 notice how the sound of the siren is warbling. If the wind itself is able to change how the siren's sound sounds...that's when you know it's gonna be bad.
It makes the sirens sound more ominous
The warning sirens are so scary and creepy. What a haunting sound!
I drove our Motorhome through this on i80 headed to des moines to visit the in laws. We made it some how and no gas til west des moiines. Fortunately I filled up before we knew this was coming. Still freaks me out. Other campers and semis flipped over on i80.
I am glad that you made it safely. I can't even imagine how terrifying it would be to get caught in a dreecho while on the interstate. It is crazy that we are only a few days away from the two year anniversary of the derecho.
the sirens sound cool in the beginning of the video
The beginning is so eerie. The calmness and partly sunny skies while the sirens are blaring. I live in Western NY and the only siren that goes off is from the firehouses. We had a freak derecho incident just after midnight on Labor Day 98. I’ll never forget the lightning. The wind sounded like a freight train. We’ve had a few severe storms since then but the Labor Day derecho was probably the biggest in my lifetime.
Weird, looks like there was alot of big breaks in between wind gusts, and little rain with this storm too?
You are correct. Since the storm was moving quickly, I did not get much rain. However, the damaging winds were a big problem since it caused damage and power outages.
I live in Moline but I was working in Rock Island, at the time, during the storm. My power was restored the same day of the storm so I was one of the lucky few. My mom and stepdad were out of power for a week in Rock Island.
I live in LeClaire Iowa. You should watch Cedar Rapids 140mph derecho. They were hit the hardest. Bettendorf winds 100mph+ LeClaire 95-100mph
I did see the Cedar Rapids derecho video and it was insane. Seeing the trees being blown down was quite terrifying to see.
These winds didn't look to be over 100 mph. 60, maybe 70 mph.
Omg, the sky change! I'm just in the beginning of your video! I would have been so scared!. This looks way worse than our S.E. Georgia storms!
It was sinister before the derecho hit. I like the sound of the distant air raid sirens.
I love judge Judy
@@LyssaLyssa-pt4vg Judge Judy was a good show.
I'm from Fargo north Dakota there was on on back on May 12th of 2022 it's was calm before the storm but nothing happened
Great footage. I have two questions. What is the speed limit in that neighborhood? Not a single car was doing less than 40. Also why are there so many people driving through that neighborhood with the equivalent of a cat 4 hurricane coming in? Bonus question how did the person across the street actually make it into the driveway? At the speed they were going I can only imagine on two wheels.😂
1. The speed limit in my neighborhood is 25 MPH.
2. I honestly don't understand why people were driving when the derecho was approaching. It is not the best idea. Also, can you please not compare this to a category 4 hurricane as this is an inaccurate? Since the wind speeds in the Quad Cities were around 80 to 90 MPH, it is more comparable to a category 1 hurricane and a high end EF0/low-end EF-1 tornado.
3. The neighbor across the street left as the worst part of the storm moved through which again is not a good idea.
@@markclayburne5805 The only reason I compared it to a Category 4 hurricane is that when it went through Cedar Rapids it had wind gusts of up to 142 mph which is Category 4 strength. There was no way of telling when it entered the Quad Cities proper that the winds had slackened a bit. The other reason for the comparison was how long it lasted and the fact it had these winds throughout the entire duration of the storm rather than just a gust front. Yes in the Quad Cities you had lesser (although still extremely damaging) winds equivalent to a high end Cat. 1, but there was no way of knowing the strength was less by that time.
@@chronically.advocating That is a fair point. Cedar Rapids was hit hard with this derecho and seeing the velocity on radar was just insane.
COOL STORM
Looks like you didn’t film the bad part of the storm.
Fast forward to 14:00 and you will start to see the wind pick up.
Mark Clayburne Yes, but you didn’t film the rain. Most of the wind occurred in the core of the storm in the extremely heavy rain (at least for the areas that got a direct hit)
Ty’s Coins Much of the heavy rain misses me which is why you couldn’t see it well.
Mark Clayburne Did it only last a few minutes? Most locations it last about 25-30 minutes.
Ty’s Coins The heavy rain only lasted a few minutes. After that, it was mostly light rain and sustained winds of 58 MPH for 30 minutes. I wish I would have seen more rain since it is abnormally dry here.
What direction was the derecho going?
If I remember correctly, the August 10, 2020 Derecho was moving east.
Correction: Grandma was watching Judge Judy until the power went out...
Correct.
@@markclayburne5805 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This video came from a horror movie
waht is sound T-128
so its a cold front coming thru,,, ooohh
You can bet all the cats, dogs, raccoon, deer, etc were taking shelter early!
They can sense this stuff coming i guess
Judge Judy!!
CMON MAN!!!
😮
AGAWAM SKYLINE WON'T YOU BE MINE ?😊❤
Hola 🌧️🌧️🌩️
Holy shit in I was in this from the same town.
For real? That’s so cra
Shut off radio!!!!😢
Sad
2:37 EVIL ON THE HORIZON, THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING!!!!
I remember when this swept across Iowa. I was in Des Moines when it happened.
The beginning is just a perfect example of the calm before the storm..
An approaching shelf cloud is not a good thing.
I had the undeniable albeit terrifying pleasure of watching a stormfront advancing across the city from my friend's flat's window. He lives on 37th floor. And let me tell you, it's scary as hell. Watching as the city is being covered by literal tides of darkness... Brrrrrrrrr...
I thought I heard tornado sirens in the very beginning. I heard your weather radio at 4:05! I have one too. I take it with me when I go on my annual summer vacations to Central Florida. As you may know, they too have those sudden pop-up thunderstorms in the afternoon. That moist, unstable air over the Atlantic during the summer months! Neat video!
It can't happen here.....😁 (yes, it can)
oh the humanity.
Ive been in 2 of these so far this one being my 2nd one alls you can do is pay attention to the weather and be prepared for this stuff.
Exactly.
You cold of put sticks holders to hold that little tree becouse it might fall
That little tree is actually a lot stronger than you think.
Bad
Lmao at "grandma watching Judge Judy".
She watched it until the power went out.
@@markclayburne5805 I'm a southerner and 27 year meteorologist (still going and retiring in a few years), and I know how that is...remembering staying with my grandma in the Summers in IL in the 70s/80s with storms.
I ended up being raised in TX and my mother is basically the same now as my grandma was back then. Yeah, derechos are nothing to play with. Glad y'all are safe and well.
@@whitenoise546 You are right, this derecho was no joke. It is easily the most intense storm that I have witnessed. I am still intrigued on how quickly this situation escalated. The day before the derecho, there was only a marginal risk for my area. However, I was upgraded to a moderate risk on the day of the event.
15 mins of strong winds?! Waste of time. If you really got hit all those trees would be gone. Lol
I don't think you have any room to talk until you look at my other video showcasing the damage across my neighborhood.
