My son, granddaughter, and I drove through there about a week after this storm. There were so many windows boarded up in homes and businesses, lots of vehicles with smashed windshields, missing windows and covered with dents. Thanks for posting. That was incredible.
My son and I got stuck in hail like that when he was around four years old. It was awful and terrifying. We were on a bridge in Ann Arbor Michigan and I honestly thought we’d die. I reached back and held his little hand and said an Our Father prayer very loudly but I could barely hear my own voice over the din! He’s 24 now, and we’ll never forget that day.
I feel so bad for the person in the SUV who got a busted window and had to watch some of their laundry fly away while blocking the hail with a pillow. I'd be a trembling, sobbing mess if I was stuck in that. Fantastic footage!
I was in South Dakota last summer and we witnessed a similar type of storm. The great thing about South Dakota is that you can see it coming long before it hits. Great video!
Yep, but many people look at that storm and go. "Do I need to go to the basement tonight, nah I should be good" until they get woken up at 4 am cause they don't have a roof anymore
Yeah in Florida these storms can sneak up on you. Granted the hailstorms are rare here. But the trees hide the horizon in most of the state so you don't see the storm cloud until it is right over you.

Have you ever been through a hurricane ? Well as a Florida resident I've been through a lot of them and let me tell you they will make your pucker Factor real real tight
@@boblongdickder6178 I was probably one of the worst affected by hurricane irma, got some mesovort action as it was a major in the eyewall, trees were debarked around my house.
Props to the lady in the SUV after her window broke from the hail,she took the pillow she had in the back seat and held it between herself and the window to avoid getting pelted by any hail that got blown into her car. That shows the despite the situation she remained calm and collected instead of going into a panic,she knew that since she had a breach in her car that her main goal was to shield herself using whatever was available,good on her
The straight line winds even on a clear day were strong enough to break tree limbs I remember walking to work one day in a straight line wind on a clear day I almost got carried away and then a huge tree branch fell right in front of me good thing I was right in front of a hospital cause that thing would’ve knocked me out
@@lasagnabeans4656 It's a motorcycle destination, the winds, and they are almost always crosswinds can blow you into the next destination, or the next dimension..
I will be afraid to get hit by the Hail? Notice are the biggest ice stone ever seen? Also they smash car window shield. And roof on the building! I am so scared to this come outside! Do not go outside when their is Hailstorm!
Goodness! That first bit with the flat green expanse and the lightening was beautiful. I’m from the middle of the White Mountains in NH - being able to see that far off in the distance must be pretty cool. Awe inspiring.
@Zach Seets Yes this was a supercell with a Tornado Warning issued for it, but no tornado ever touched down. The hail still caused a lot of damage in town though
I am a mental health therapist and I use this in the background of my sessions. It adds such a calming presence to the environment of my office. TheSilentWatcher, you have no idea the difference and impact that you make in the lives of others by offering videos like this. I can feel that in my personal and professional life as well as from reading the comments posted by others. Thank you.
I lived in Hawai'i and a terrifying supercell thunderstorm dumped torrential golf ball sized hail that was spiky and stuck to three to four other stones, resulting in softball sized hailstones. I can still hear it on the roof of the house. It was so loud, it was like roaring. My cat was so petrified, she was shaking. It broke my plants on the deck, destroyed the paint on the deck, rails and gates we had just painted three weeks earlier, cracked the cab light and dented the bed of our truck. Worst of all, is that it killed hundreds of birds. It hurt my heart to see them all over the sidewalks and streets. The largest hailstone was measured to be four inches across! I cringed watching this. Those people who managed to get underneath the gas station shelters are blessed. Being trapped in the open would've been much worse.
OMG Tamara! That sounds terrifying! I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices and worries about the animals during these storms. We usually hear about the people, but rarely is there a moment of acknowledged loss about our wildlife and pets along with people and property. May God Bless your sweet spirit. Hugs from Idaho.
@@davidwright640 This is caused by the intense precipitation core of the storm filtering out certain colors from the sunlight, especially at sunset or sunrise. It doesn't indicate an imminent tornado, really only indicates heavy rain and possible hail.
The sound must have definitely been deafening! I usually enjoy hail storms safely watching from home but there was this one time when it got really and I mean Really loud and totally insane that my inner self felt threatened and forced me to slam shut the window to minimize the deafening sound it was creating crashing onto solid surfaces. Glad you guys and everyone else shielded themselves earlier. It could’ve been bad.
I had heavy hail and torrential rain a few days before the new year, and on a metal roof it is deafening for sure it was the loudest I have heard. and even heavy rain on the garage roof or carport also metal its noisy AF.
Wow. I’m gobsmacked by this storm. Reading the Comments made me think about the poor animals that can get caught and killed in weather like this. I’ve only been in S.D. once, on a road trip to see Mt. Rushmore; it is a much prettier area than I’d anticipated, and the folks there were very friendly. So sorry they have to experience something like this. Mother Nature can really be a madwoman sometimes!
Eh, it’s fine. Most animals also know when to take shelter too. Honestly though, the only abnormal about this weather is the hail. Only happens a few times a year. The wind though, pfft. I’ve seen 60 mph without a cloud in the sky. An old saying is that all South Dakotans are born with a lean (shorter leg). Helps us lean into the wind better.
I'm an aircraft maintenance technician and have sat out a storm like that (thankfully minus the hail) in a widebody aircraft I was working. Couldn't see anything outside. Now I am doubly thankful there was almost no hail except for the pea-size stuff. All I can really say about this video is WOW!
@miranda yearwood Nothing to laugh about, especially when you are wrong. The dust bowl was caused by drought, and poor farming practices. This is entirely different. Read up on derechos.
That was, incredible. Growing up in Missouri (Saint Louis) we would occasionally see a destructive storm, now that I moved away they've had a tornado a year it seems.
I was in the town of West St Paul a few weeks back and got in a hail storm. That thing was wicked! Luckily the bus came to bail me out (thankfully, it was only about 3 minutes late). Once inside the bus it sounded like it was being struck with a series of baseball bats. Wow - that was loud In this video you captured much of what I went through. Mother Nature sure can be wicked!

@@jayasmrmore3687 do you know what a tornado is and looks like? This is just strong straight line wind and hail. There was no tornado within this storm
“Insane” is the perfect word to use in the title! I’ve seen clips with hail going straight down that was crazy but going sideways from the wind? This was absolutely nuts1
That is Friggin scary as F. I've been in some bad hail storms in WY and CO but NOTHING like this, I would have been freaking out if I was in that Escape trying to keep that hail out of my car. I also would have been afraid that canopy over the pumps would come down.
I live in sd and I hate these crazy storms but that derecho we got last month was extremely crazy especially since its went from sunny to pitch black within a few minutes
I'm in the middle of the Enhanced risk today. Am expecting hail to baseball size, if not larger, damaging winds of 60-85 mph, and several tornadoes, including at least a couple strong tornadoes.
I feel bad for the owner of that SUV... I'm sure they were freaking out! I Remember getting caught in a nasty hail storm at the north softball diamonds in Aberdeen. It hit suddenly and dropped a ton of golf ball to baseball sized hail. Both my wife and I got hit several times before making it to our car. We got in the car just before a large hail stone took out our windshield! Luckily being safety glass it just spidered and kept us protected!

There's no trees on the Great Plains? Must be a couple thousand mirages in my backyard, huh? P.S. Did you know that a majority of the Great Plains used to be under an ancient, inland sea? Wonder if that has anything to do with it?
My mom and I drove through a storm like this about 5 years ago while going northbound on I-65 towards Indianapolis. It was around 8:30am and we were in rush hour traffic. The sky got pitch black and you could see the lightning in front of the storm as it rolled towards us. A few minutes later, the sky opened up and it started hailing and raining so hard that we couldn’t see the end of the hood of the car. Everybody stopped along I-65 in the middle of the interstate with their flashers on. The wind was so intense and lightning cracking. I’ll never forget that morning.
Same, in fact at my house there was only like 12 pea-sized hailstones. However, the wind blast pushed an empty flatbed trailer about 20' down the road, ramming it into a pickup sitting there.
What the, what the!!! This is the most amazing wind driven hail footage I have ever seen! Much of it blowing horizontally! What a great day this is for you guys, if you were bird watchers out looking for birds, well you found them, or should I saw they found you! Smart move going inside instead f back to your vehicles. This is a video gem!💎
Wow! That gas station cover wobbled a few times I thought for sure it was going to get ripped off with all those folks sitting in their cars under it!!
Yes! Had she even driven to the 'right' hand side of the canopy, she likely wouldn't have had as strong a direct hit from the hail and saved her window.
I've lived on Big Island of Hawaii for 27 years and have seen hail one time here, the same day a tornado hit in a bay, about 5 miles away. Caused small damage but didn't form bigger. Have not experienced that type of weather since. Very unusual weather for Hawaii.
Absolutely terrifying! Great video, not to mention, the audio quality is tops! At around 5:15, I barely hear you trying to yell above the sound, and that's probably the most horrifying thing about this storm! It took a lot of guts to film this, didn't it? Hear's another point. I've been in a lot of storms, and being totally blind all my life, I can say this would have really scared me if I'd been caught out in a storm like this. Years ago, when I was in Illinois, we got hit by a derecho with rain, thunder and lightning and some hail, but nothing like this. My uncle Don and I got inside the house just in the nick of time. The wind blew so hard that it made the weather stripping "sing". At one point, it sounded like a trumpet, and I'll never forget it. Thank God we didn't get hit by a tornado. I just had to add that I love the Holy sh"ir" at 3:04! That's the same sound affect Pecos Hank uses from the EBS (Emergency Broadcast System) uses, and I love it.
Ouch! Gas station canopies aren’t great for sheltering vehicles, perhaps slightly better than nothing, sometimes, but they’re usually the only thing available.
Greetings from Australia. Obviously the silver car needed to move forward a bit more. The electric blue hue in the storm clouds was a good indication that hail was coming. A totally wild storm, thank God for the refuge of the servo, what you call gas station.
that was a bad one great camera work , i was camping a bolt of lighting hit camper power cord 10 feet away from us on that same day but in ontario canada crazy weather day
Pretty cool I stumbled upon your channel! Happy to see more furs storm chasing like me! Also pretty crazy storm, ive seen hail storms like like this before.
If I was driving that gray SUV, I would've angled the broken window away from the flow, or driven around/into the island to a better place. It looked like they could've turned slightly left & driven deeper into the pump area. What an awesome storm! I don't want any injuries or damage, but this is my kind of storm! Would've loved to have been behind that camera!
This is unfreakingbelievable! I have never seen anything like this. Wind driven hail…..it is terrifying. Do we know how fast those winds were at the peak of the hail event? Great footage. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
We were in the basement in safety but after I went out and saw my plants shredded I knew it had to have been bad. Wow. 🤯 Thankfully most our plants survived and are making a come back - one hosta casualty 😅
Hostas are incredible. I have a friend in Michigan in his 70s who has been transplanting the ones he has to each house he has lived in. He said his oldest is one he got from his grandmother when he was 16!!
Ya that was a good day to live in South Dakota (Garretson). For some reason the past ten years have been crazy we had over five times were I live with winds over sixty miles a hour and the worst was one hundred an thirty it tore are town apart. A few weeks ago we had golf ball size hail and a wall wind of over seventy. That was after what you recorded. Good video .....
When the silver SUV pulled up, I knew that the driver was unfortunately clueless about what was going on. Stopping in that location was pretty much like being completely out in the open, with hail being blown horizontally for minutes. She needed to have driven around to the other side of the canopy to get any protection.
Maybe it's just because I'm getting older and experience more weather as the years go by..or maybe it's just because I didn't pay attention to this stuff before. But I can't help but feel like there's been major changes with normal weather patterns and it's getting more extreme. I remember having snow for weeks at a time on the ground yet now that no longer happens. Rainfall seems way heavier...seems like there are flood warnings every other week... and things like derechos are becoming more common. Maybe I'm wrong but either the Earth goes through cycles or things are actually heating up.
the earth is getting warmer, more water evaporates, collects in clouds and rains down regionally with sometimes extreme excesses. we've had heavy rain 3-4 times this year, not to mention the flood last year, triggered by days of heavy rain with up to 200 liters/m² per hour.
Notice on the slow speed on the silver escape at the same time the window was being busted out the passenger taillight gets busted as well. Crazy to see sideways hail
Cool storm! Reminds me of some storms I saw when I worked in Gillette. I was out for a long run on some old gravel roads one night and got caught in some hail like this; had to shelter behind a cut bank that was just barely steep enough for me to hide behind because the hail wasn't coming straight down!

its about to get worst
There's no trees on the Great Plains? Must be a couple thousand mirages in my backyard, huh?
P.S. Did you know that a majority of the Great Plains used to be under an ancient, inland sea?
Wonder if that has anything to do with it?
@@codymoe4986Interesting!! That’ll definitely explain a lack of old trees.
WOW that was the craziest hail storm I've ever seen !!! Great job wading that storm out, outside !
How quickly it went insane. Amazing footage
used to have a restaurant in Belle fourche, it had hail sometimes but not like this one!
nice chase!
My mom and I drove through a storm like this about 5 years ago while going northbound on I-65 towards Indianapolis.
It was around 8:30am and we were in rush hour traffic. The sky got pitch black and you could see the lightning in front of the storm as it rolled towards us.
A few minutes later, the sky opened up and it started hailing and raining so hard that we couldn’t see the end of the hood of the car.
Everybody stopped along I-65 in the middle of the interstate with their flashers on. The wind was so intense and lightning cracking. I’ll never forget that morning.
The Wind destroyed those gas prices!!!!
The bleep using the emergency alert notification sound SENT ME
Great video; scary storm. Hope everyone is OK.
Thank you!!!! We LOVE storms and rain....
My dad says: Without wind there is no weather at all!
I just wanna say I live in the Sioux Falls area and you guys definitely got the worst part of it. We really only got wind and some hail
Same, in fact at my house there was only like 12 pea-sized hailstones. However, the wind blast pushed an empty flatbed trailer about 20' down the road, ramming it into a pickup sitting there.
What the, what the!!! This is the most amazing wind driven hail footage I have ever seen! Much of it blowing horizontally! What a great day this is for you guys, if you were bird watchers out looking for birds, well you found them, or should I saw they found you! Smart move going inside instead f back to your vehicles. This is a video gem!💎
Wow! That gas station cover wobbled a few times I thought for sure it was going to get ripped off with all those folks sitting in their cars under it!!
That was crazy!! Those clouds in the beginning! I knew it was about to go down. Glad everyone was Okay! Excellent camera work.
Lived in southern Manitoba for many years and seen lots of those storms roll in and out. Pretty crazy if you’re in the middle of it.
Arizona could use some of this.
saw a lot of storms
The more times the same lightning bolt blinks, the stronger the storm. When they're doing it like a dozen or so times, the storm is a monster.
Amazing footage. Thanks for sharing and keeping the camera still . :) Nice work!
POV my class (german school) did a video project about South Dakota and now my complete TH-cam is full with this.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but I’m surprised no one drove to the other side of the building to block some of the wind and hail.
i was thinking this too about the lady with the broken side window, but I bet it was so loud she couldn't even tell where the hail was hitting her.
@@CJW0056 that could be
Yes! Had she even driven to the 'right' hand side of the canopy, she likely wouldn't have had as strong a direct hit from the hail and saved her window.
The dakotas never fail when it comes to structure! Great shots!
Wow, that wind was insane. Thankful that you were under cover.
Lmao the storm warning as the cuss filter 😂😂😂
I've lived on Big Island of Hawaii for 27 years and have seen hail one time here, the same day a tornado hit in a bay, about 5 miles away. Caused small damage but didn't form bigger. Have not experienced that type of weather since. Very unusual weather for Hawaii.
Watch me not care.
@@aIysssa Yes recently, and I *STILL* don't care...
I lived in hawi for 5 years
Now I live in south Dakota
I have never seen such strong wind and hail before!
Absolutely terrifying! Great video, not to mention, the audio quality is tops! At around 5:15, I barely hear you trying to yell above the sound, and that's probably the most horrifying thing about this storm! It took a lot of guts to film this, didn't it?
Hear's another point. I've been in a lot of storms, and being totally blind all my life, I can say this would have really scared me if I'd been caught out in a storm like this. Years ago, when I was in Illinois, we got hit by a derecho with rain, thunder and lightning and some hail, but nothing like this. My uncle Don and I got inside the house just in the nick of time. The wind blew so hard that it made the weather stripping "sing". At one point, it sounded like a trumpet, and I'll never forget it. Thank God we didn't get hit by a tornado.
I just had to add that I love the Holy sh"ir" at 3:04! That's the same sound affect Pecos Hank uses from the EBS (Emergency Broadcast System) uses, and I love it.
4:00 Yes, this! This is what ASMR videos ought to be made out of. Keep the storm footage coming 🙂
Worse than a lotta hurricanes we get in Florida ! That hail is insane
First the intensity of the wind looked very much like a downburst but it just kept going and going! I never saw sideways hail like that
Ouch! Gas station canopies aren’t great for sheltering vehicles, perhaps slightly better than nothing, sometimes, but they’re usually the only thing available.
Photos and vids of these dangerous but gorgeous weather events makes one feel very small.
hold on: it is going to get more exciting
Greetings from Australia.
Obviously the silver car needed to move forward a bit more.
The electric blue hue in the storm clouds was a good indication that hail was coming.
A totally wild storm, thank God for the refuge of the servo, what you call gas station.
that was a bad one great camera work , i was camping a bolt of lighting hit camper power cord 10 feet away from us on that same day but in ontario canada crazy weather day
Pretty cool I stumbled upon your channel! Happy to see more furs storm chasing like me! Also pretty crazy storm, ive seen hail storms like like this before.
If I was driving that gray SUV, I would've angled the broken window away from the flow, or driven around/into the island to a better place. It looked like they could've turned slightly left & driven deeper into the pump area. What an awesome storm! I don't want any injuries or damage, but this is my kind of storm! Would've loved to have been behind that camera!
She may have had a sunroof
Do you yell at the TV when sports are on and tell the quarterback what you would have done different? LOL
@@thezmanz28 Jealousy of a great idea. Sports suck.
the beauty of living in the village, full of calm and peace
This is unfreakingbelievable! I have never seen anything like this. Wind driven hail…..it is terrifying. Do we know how fast those winds were at the peak of the hail event? Great footage. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yep, 80-90 mph winds just like the last storm that hit the northern part of sd
That was awesome, you couldn't have picked a better place to film this, great job.
We were in the basement in safety but after I went out and saw my plants shredded I knew it had to have been bad. Wow. 🤯 Thankfully most our plants survived and are making a come back - one hosta casualty 😅
Hostas are incredible. I have a friend in Michigan in his 70s who has been transplanting the ones he has to each house he has lived in. He said his oldest is one he got from his grandmother when he was 16!!
@@MH3GL I love that 😍
Ya that was a good day to live in South Dakota (Garretson). For some reason the past ten years have been crazy we had over five times were I live with winds over sixty miles a hour and the worst was one hundred an thirty it tore are town apart. A few weeks ago we had golf ball size hail and a wall wind of over seventy. That was after what you recorded. Good video .....
When the silver SUV pulled up, I knew that the driver was unfortunately clueless about what was going on. Stopping in that location was pretty much like being completely out in the open, with hail being blown horizontally for minutes. She needed to have driven around to the other side of the canopy to get any protection.
Or get behind a wall, or even a larger vehicle.
cozy suspense weather to degree where one can take it and enjoy ...enjoy togetherness,this good way
Maybe it's just because I'm getting older and experience more weather as the years go by..or maybe it's just because I didn't pay attention to this stuff before. But I can't help but feel like there's been major changes with normal weather patterns and it's getting more extreme. I remember having snow for weeks at a time on the ground yet now that no longer happens. Rainfall seems way heavier...seems like there are flood warnings every other week... and things like derechos are becoming more common. Maybe I'm wrong but either the Earth goes through cycles or things are actually heating up.
You are not wrong, the answer is climate change. Extreme weather events are more common.
the earth is getting warmer, more water evaporates, collects in clouds and rains down regionally with sometimes extreme excesses.
we've had heavy rain 3-4 times this year, not to mention the flood last year, triggered by days of heavy rain with up to 200 liters/m² per hour.
Excellent video and kudos to the guy who stayed outside filming everything!
Notice on the slow speed on the silver escape at the same time the window was being busted out the passenger taillight gets busted as well.
Crazy to see sideways hail
Cool storm! Reminds me of some storms I saw when I worked in Gillette. I was out for a long run on some old gravel roads one night and got caught in some hail like this; had to shelter behind a cut bank that was just barely steep enough for me to hide behind because the hail wasn't coming straight down!
I love storm chasing myself! this was one hell of a storm!
It's amazing! It really feels me like standing in a storm-topic movie.
Damn that looked the the apocalypse at one point, hope nobody was injured!
That was an insanely perfect footage! You really deserve more than 1M views.
That’s crazy! imagine being caught out in it going for a walk.
Awesome video, great job!
