As far as I'm concerned, you have made just short of the perfect video. Far too many people ruin a good video by talking way too much, talking too way excitedly or putting some pathetic debateable "music" in the background that is either far too loud or totally inappropriate for the content but you have just let Mother Nature take center stage and recorded it and we are blessed to see the result! Thank you so much for just being natural. You did an amazing job!!! Keep up the awesome work and thank you for sharing!!
What's especially egregious, galling, and, downright evil, is when the "presenter(s)" try and make a catastrophe or perhaps a murder, into a JOKE, with their uncaring inanities!!
My last experience with a derecho was 1998 as best as I can remember. A nice hot summer day and I took a look at the radar and I saw a very well defined bow echo headed directly towards me. I was living in Wonder Lake IL at the time. I was in the process of waxing my car. I barely had time to collect all my tools and wax rags and as I was doing so I heard a very strange sound. It was the sound of trees breaking about a half mile away. Three minutes later it hit. I was closing the garage door and all hell broke loose. All of a sudden, everything went from west to east. I was transfixed and just watched lawn chairs, garbage cans and everything that wasn't bolted down blow by. Across the street was a large tree roots and just lift out of the ground and travel about 20 feet and land right on top of my neighbor's car. the entire episode lasted about four minutes. In the aftermath all of our power poles were bent at about a 45 degree angle. We were without power for four days. If I wasn't so mesmerized by the power of that storm I would have taken a video, but as I said, I just stood there in awe. Thank you for your excellent video on these powerful events. Nice work!
@@dpgamezderek8137 Derecho's are usually slow and long lasting, which can actually sometimes make the damage worse as they stick to speeds between 50 and 70 mph. So three states, no matter the states, is still a pretty impressive coverage of distance for the storm.
We here in Sioux Falls, SD went through 2 terrible derechos last year and they were unforgettable. I lost a 50 foot pine tree in my yard that missed my house by inches. I also sustained roof damage when another big tree dropped a huge limb on the house. I had to take shelter, it was so bad!
That anemometer is going totally crazy! Straight line winds are no joke, they can do incredible damage. Glad you are safe and so appreciate your recording of this storm.
I have to say that I think that is one of the most incredible storm videos I have ever seen and I’ve seen a lot of them. Congratulations that was absolutely awesome thank you so much for sharing
Exhilarating and frightening. Please don't apologize for lack of narration while driving. Your filming and editing said it all. Sad to see all the tree damage. Glad to see you being cautious around downed power lines. Keep up the good work and be safe.
You’re filming was brave and wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Especially liked this part 1:36 where you could see the clouds cycling. Sad about trees, hope everyone was ok. Looks like most people were smart and safe. Take care.
I've seen pictures of the damage it did when it came through Albany and Bethany, Missouri. Those two towns are east of Maryville. I actually used to live in Bethany for 23 years before moving to Osceola, Missouri. The neighborhood I lived in had damage but luckily my mom had only minimal damage around her property. I almost said "parents" like I've done for my whole life but my dad just unexpectedly passed away 3 weeks ago so my mom is alone now. Thanks for the video.
I’m so sorry to hear about your dad. My dad just got out of the hospital a day ago. Congestive heart failure,pneumonia and a diagnosis of Parkinson’s. He’s home on oxygen. My mom passed in 2014. I’m so not ready to lose another parent😢 I’ll say a prayer for you ❤🦋🙏🏻
That was sick! The way the wind kept blasting on and on and on, and the sound of it, it was both horrifying and mesmerizing. I know that a shelf cloud doesn't *necessarily* indicate the presence of a derecho, but when you see one this beefy and ominous, you know this storm means business, and unfortunately its business involves you.
I grew up in Houston and have experienced quite a few hurricanes living there and that is exactly what I felt like. It was as if we were hit by a cat 1 hurricane in the middle of the US
Thanks so much for passing this along. Many sincere and heartfelt blessings going out to our great people in the heartland. I just watched a weather report with many videos showing the destruction this monster left in it's wake yesterday and last night. The sad part is a repeat scenario for the next few days. Our whole planet and solar system is involved in a cyclical event. This is bringing weather patterns and catastrophic events never before witnessed . Only probably to get stronger and bizarre. Also, not a thing that we have control over. Blessings to all, stay safe, help one another, and eyes to the skies.
Global warming due to burning fossil fuels, not a cyclical event . We still have some control over this pending catastrophe, if our governments and corporations act now.
Just Seeing something like this brings me so much adrenaline as I love how when storms get dark and ominous and the feeling of it just feels so calming to once the storm has overtaken the area and continues to move and it get very peaceful as you hear the rain, the wind and thunder in the Storm.
Tip: to watch this video, wait till dark, then turn off all the lights. No, really! It's a cool vid, just you'll get more out of it if you reduce your own ambient lighting.
I live in Central Illinois, and this storm hit us a little before 1pm. I was on lunch at work out in the smoke break area watching this roll in. I had no idea what was coming. I just figured it was a severe thunderstorm. When the wind and rain hit, we all went running back to the building. I’d never tried running against 80mph winds before, and by the time I got back inside I was soaked. Luckily my house never lost power, though the other side of my street was off for almost a week. It was crazy!
For those that don't know.... A Derecho is a very long lived and damaging thunderstorm. A storm is classified as a derecho if wind damage swath extends more than 240 miles and has wind gusts of at least 58 mph or greater along most of the length of the storm's path.
I grew up in Houston and this storm 100% gave me Hurricane vibes. If I didn’t know I was in eastern Oklahoma I would’ve questioned when the hurricane updates and evacuation advice came in
My home town, neat to see pop up randomly on youtube at work! Proud to of been from Maryville. I remember being 3 or 4 years old and having a tornado jump over our house outside on a farm from Maryville. Good people in Maryville and I miss it! Be blessed and thank you for sharing the video.
Wow! This video is phenomenal! I live in Northern Ireland & although we get plenty of crappy wet weather, we very seldom, get a storm, never mind thunder & lightning. Thanks for sharing this awesome capture 👏🏼
Thanks for sharing this experience with us. I had yearned to be in Northern Missouri for 3 nights including that one, to experience the "ring of fire". Glad I saw this. The green in those clouds meant business. Great capture 👏
Please don't apologise for not being able to talk while driving and filming---a lot of people talk TOO Much while they're filming. I think you did a great job in a scary situation.
Glad you guys had more warning. i was in the 2019 Iowa derecho and that shot came out of nowhere. I think we had a wind measurement of 130. Scariest weather event ever. definitely not a fan of them
We just went through almost this exact thing in NW Louisiana. 100 mph winds and unreal lightning. Knocked power out here for a week. Hope everyone is well.
Amazing job filming, it’s a spectacle to see and it’s definitely something ten year old me wouldn’t have the courage and serenity to see for my own eyes. Glad I got to witness this!
i live in maryville. it was a beast. i swear i heard the womp, womp, sound of a tornado. my husband heard it and so did some people i talked with. our power was out for 12 hours. trees, down, power poles snapped. it is a mess.
We had one go through our area in North East Florida about two weekends ago ! Hurricanes by land and by sea for coastal areas it seems 😟🥺 Be safe everyone 🙏
I feel bad because I'm always complaining we don't get any thunderstorms around here (Rochester NY). I like a good, non life threatening storm once in awhile . So I guess I'll say sorry to all of you who've gone through bad storms, and lost so much. 😞
I love a good storm, I've dodged tornadoes driving across western Missouri and Kansas several times. I wasn't bothered because I could see them from far away and avoid them. This makes me nervous just watching it. We had a derecho in central NY back in 1998, 115mph winds, constant lighting strikes. 7 people died and 80 were injured, hundreds of millions of dollars in damage. My brother was driving that night, and the wind picked his car up, carried it about 25 feet into someone's yard, and set it down. He just drove out.
Interesting that only 11 years later, a Derecho happened the same day as it did back in 2012, although in not sure if the one I'm talking about moved over this area back then.
I always wonder how terrified the First Nations or the pioneers would have been to see one these roll into their areas, and have nowhere to go. These seem scary enough when sheltering inside a building. I can't imagine doing so in a tent or on horseback.
Georgia had one just last week. I got inside before it started to rain but something I thought was really cool was I actually felt the temperature go from like 95 to below 80 in a minute
A couple tornadoes confirmed too. F0 & F1. Plenty of people without power for a while. The worst of it didn’t hit where I am, thankfully. Pretty wild though.
We’re still having a Derecho , it’s been storming here and it’s going to be storming here all this week. I’m staying at the hospital with my dad and I can see if outside of the hospital room window. Scary , especially when you are on the 6th floor!
I live dead center where that storm came thru. The rain came first, pretty hard, getting darker. The winds blew out of nowhere so hard it looked like a hurricane - so hard i couldnt see across the street, just nonstop for sbout 15 minutes then it done. WOW! 😳😱! Exactly like what you see in hurricanes, winds blowing the heavy rain so hard everything laid flat one side and dark gray, no visibility. Had to have lasted around 10 min. NON STOP! . This goes down in my book of experiences. 👍✌️😶🌫️😵💫😊😊😊😲🌪️⛈️🥃🥃🥃😁😊.
Looks like you guys got quite a bit of rain out of it. Here in the SE part of the state, not far from Cape Girardeau no mentionable rain here since the first week of May. Burn bans everywhere . Been a long time since I've seen it this dry this early in the Summer.
This one was strange it happened on the 11th anniversary of our derecho (June 29th 2012) I honestly never seen the sky that dark, almost evil looking then… the shit hit the fan I’ve never experienced one before and hopefully never again three trees fell around my home two just missed it the other one wasn’t a issue and of course power grid got destroyed then after all that wind and rain (and pain) next day got hot stayed hot one couldn’t find a hotel anywhere with a room, couldn’t find a generator, I don’t believe I slept a total of 10 hours because of the heat those two weeks, finally July 12th the lights came back on. But a valuable lesson was learned I bought a generator and I keep at least 3 days of fuel and I cut back the trees from my house. One just wasn’t prepared for this living in the hills of West Virginia that stuff isn’t supposed to happen here.
Yes, youre quite correct!, but this particular derecho hit Missouri the morning of 6/29/2023, then went on into Illinois, where it got the Springfield area during the lunch hour, and with tornado warnings as well. I am normally not scared of storms, but this one was blacker than my cat, who took refuge in the closet off the master bedroom, while i watched it from the patio window like a dufus, and yes, it scared the @#$% out of me😱❗
Seeing that shelf cloud gust towards you at very fast speeds are terrifying! All the wind and heavy rain, the dust in some cases, even the embedded supercells and QLCS tornadoes that may occur.
We're already had two Derecho's this summer in my area, and another that just slapped us with it's northern tip. Usually we're only lucky enough to see one every few years. I'm getting tired of having to nail my roof flashing back in place.
