Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way to Heaven. We've all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins like lying, lusting, etc. Repent and trust only in Jesus, and you will be saved! You can be saved because he took the punishment for our sins on himself when he died on the cross, just like someone can pay your speeding fine in court, and you get off free. Romans 3:23 John 3:16😊❤😊❤
Joplin video of the guy in the family who said ITS COMING RIGHT AT US was an event to remember. I have seen a lot of tornado videos but this one was a real feeling of fear. Bless your souls.
You have ever right to feel that way. The Joplin tornado was something from hell. That tornado didn't just rip things apart it destroyed everything and anything.
The whole Derecho lasted 52 minutes beginning to end. That's 52 minutes in the eye of a hurricane. NO warning, no prep time. This is 8 minutes of it. The first part is mild, as it nears the end it starts to get really crazy. No house or home was spared in Cedar Rapids, Marion, Hiawatha and "MANY" rural areas as well. Thank @Craig. Incredible footage. #IowaFlyOverCountry #IowaStrong
The eye of a hurricane is usually quite calm. This is like being in the eye wall of a Cat 2 hurricane. We got it during the morning in Omaha, NE. It knocked down a few branches and power lines. However, it was nothing like the behemoth it would become by the time it reached Linn County, IA.
@@spindalis79 I was just going to say that about hurricanes, they are calm in the center, until the back side of the storm hits and the wind whips in the opposite direction than it did during the front half of the storm. Crazy stuff. Mother nature can sure have a temper tantrum when she wants to!
>no warning at least NWS Quad Cities gave us a warning and sirens 15 mins or so beforehand, but yeah, unless you were following the Storm Prediction Center's discussions, outlooks and Severe Thunderstorm watches that morning, you would've had no idea.
we lost a few shingles but the trees across from us are beyond recovery that will probably be cut down they were recently planted ones too. most of our orchards and pumpkin patches are closed for awhile
I live near where this was this storm was beyond scary and my mom had to run to our place before it did a second wave of rain. We were out of power for nearly two weeks
3 years ago I've been through a derecho that lasted 45 minutes with winds up to 105 MPH. It gives me anxiety just to think about it till this day. My house felt like it was about to fall apart, the kitchen windows exploded and rain was pouring inside to the point that we were standing ankles deep in water. I've never been so scared in my life. My whole town didn't have power for the next 13 days after the storm. Pretty much every single building sustained some sort of damage. Entire pine forests were snapped like matches. Cars mangled and pieces of roofs and buildings laying everwhere. A few people were killed including 2 children. It was the worst storm that I've ever experienced and I've been through quite a few. It was the first time that I've been actually scared for my life during a storm. They said it was the worst thunderstorm to hit my area in over 100 years.
Michi K I’m sorry to hear about those who were killed by the storm you experienced. When I was very young I experienced a derecho here in Michigan. I lived on Lake St. Clair and we had a lot of weeping willow trees. If you know what weeping willow trees look like then you can image what they looked like during a derecho. Willow trees have very shallow root systems and their branches are extremely flexible. When that storm hit those tree branches flew out - straight out - horizontal. I was terrified when one the smaller ones blew out into the water. I can remember my grandmother grabbing me by the shoulder to get away from that large window we had that faced the lake. I was totally hypnotized by what I saw. About a year later our house was obliterated - shredded by an EF4 tornado. This was on May 8, 1964. Twelve people died in that storm. We were not there when it happened.
@@alexsandrarokas7117 I've seen 3 tornadoes, an EF3 in 2012 passed my house just by one block. It was a very bad thunderstorm but it was nothing compared to the derecho. I'm always taking every severe thunderstorm warning seriously. Just to be safe.
I feel you my guy. (ik you arent a guy but its just kinda what sounds right.) I was in the very worst part of hurricane irma and the national hurricane center said we got wind gusts of up to 160 MPH. It ripped the roof of my house, blew down doors, and blew out windows. 134 people died in that storm with over 110 of the deaths in florida alone. The wind was incredible. It actually stripped the bark off every tree for miles. It even ripped up grass and dirt and sent it flying. I will never forget that.
Used to live in Waterloo, IA, but for the last 40+ yrs I've lived in Brevard County, Florida, which includes gong through 10 hurricanes. From the looks of it, it looks like you're having a Cat 2 hurricane.
cuantos árboles,que lugar tan bonito,lástima que muchos de ellos se perdieron,pero se puede volver a empezar,como en la vida también,mis mejores deseos!!
If you have storms like this two years in a row you don't get as many limbs and trees down in the second year. The first year has cut all of the weak limbs down. I livs in central Florida. In 2004 we had three near miss hurricanes that came through back to back. We had not had any hurricanes for the previous 40 years. After the first one we had a mountain of downed trees and limbs. Power was out a few days but everything was back to normal in a week. The problem with the derechos is that you don't have much warning to prepare. If you knew it was coming you could fill up your cars'gas tamks (pumps are electric), get or freeze ice, stock up on canned meals and charcoal, put up storm shutters, make sure you have all of your medicines, etc. Been there, done that!
Your humour through it all was amazing especially when you saw the tree on your house lol a 2319. Im a geek for weather and this one may well be the strongest recorded. We got it here in NW Indiana but not for 50 minutes nor were our winds gusting 120 mph plus. Great video man thanks for sharing.
I watched many Iowa videos of this storm. It is terrifying to see enormous bushy trees bend to the ground as those did across the street from you. Iowa trees are so beautiful. I’m sorry they took such a beating in this storm. Iowa is a gorgeous state.
That is so spooky sounding hearing those branches snapping off. Glad you made it through it and you are so calm. As much as I love a good storm if I were there I would of been freaking out.
These storms are devastating... we had a derecho here (Virginia) in 2012, it covered many states and overwhelmed the power companies to repair after it was over... took 19 days to get power back. I had a generator, but nobody had power to pump gas! Took months to get everything cleaned up from that. Many trees had to be removed as they were so weakened by the storm and were a fall hazard. Thankfully these are rare events. I hope the best for you all in the recovery.
@@bodombeastmode The derecho's recovery was short lived and the eastern portion of the US did not recover completely until months after Hurricane Sandy.
I haven't seen trees bend like that nor seen that much tree damage since I rode out Hurricane Katrina 15 years ago. I also know what it's like to be without power for as long as you guys have; I went a month a half without it after Katrina (I learned to appreciate cold showers). Glad no one was gravely hurt or killed up there.
I am so so sorry for the lost of all of your guys trees from that deracheo storm. That was an absolute mess to to deal with not to mention the trees that were over a hundred years old. You can’t replace something like that.
You really understand the power of the storm when you see how many old growth trees, 3-4' across that were simply uprooted, taking down every power line in town and some sidewalks as well. At least a third of the houses in town had roof damage.
Isn't it sad though that these beautiful trees takes years to get to there majestic look only to be ripped apart by some freaky weather thanks for the vid you are rich in many ways as where you live looks so beautiful
7:43 When everything turned green and gusts rose higher, that shit is scary, i think a ef0 tornado went by you. I heard that when stuff turns green thats like worst of the worst. (I'm from the Northeast so im glad we dont get this type of weather)
I am convinced you had a bit of rotation there. Notice in the beginning the trees are blowing one direction and the rain sheets are heading that same direction; however, when the huge burst hits, the rain and trees are blowing in the opposite direction. That is not STRAIGHT LINE winds. I am no meteorologist, BUT, I do know a change in wind direction when I see it. AWESOME FOOTAGE!!!
i took a tour through some of the neighborhoods on glass rd just off the interstate a few weeks ago. i was amazed that after four weeks of the storm, logs and branches were piled 10 ft high all along the roads still awaiting to be picked up.
Craig Jones I live in Miami Fl. and we don’t have tornadoes often but those are my worse fair especially at night. I believe I heard one time and I just covered my head and forced myself to go to sleep.
It was definitely a wild ride! We were all safe, thank you very much for asking. There was only one fatality due to the storm. An older gentleman was biking on a wooded trail when the storm hit and a tree fell on him.
You must have some pretty strong houses out in Iowa . Those winds in a lot of area was strong enough to blow out windows and take the tops off houses. i herd they gusted up to 129mpr. like an in land cat 2-3 Hurricane plus lasting up to more than an hour could have been called a fast moving hurricane.
Please, for the love of humanity, could the guy in this clip, please share the names of medication he is prescribed and had taken the day of this severe weather event, I'm thinking antidepressants sedatives are base line. His response to the events unfolding about his home are mild with no sense of urgency or alarm, maybe it nescience, maybe meds. At time stamp 04:05-04:12 sums my observations up, oh there goes another branch. It's not natural to be so calm in the face of mother nature's pissed off ugly step sister who's hell bent on your imminent destruction. Classic. Thank You for the upload.
@@craigjones179 I would say so, generally yes! :) My dad is from Värmland and not many things can throw him off balance in any way. I'm a bit of a worrier, however I definitely inherited my temper - I'm almost never angry. :) It might have something to do with the accent as well, the tone of it is so calm and low-key that you sometimes don't know if they're mad or not, lol. Example below (he is not angry btw, just telling a story). ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iu9A1cgHwKw.html Also - welcome to Sweden! :)
Wow! I can only listen to these videos, but I've been reading the comments and the description using text-to-speech software, and I can't help but wonder exactly where you were during that storm? That was intense!
I cannot believe this man intentionally placed himself in positions of such danger while making supposedly amusing comments. Being struck by one of those flying branches could've injured or killed him in a flash.
Hello, I'm currently working on a video about the August 10, derecho and I was wondering if I could have your permission to use your footage in my video with proper attribution and credit?
As east coast resident, this did not seem like a derecho! The wind momentum transfer and frequency was more reminiscent of the spiral bands of a high end category 2 Hurricane! Normally, derecho’s blast through in a span of a few minutes of destructive wind. This beast went on and on….
So you end up getting hit twice. From the leading edge…then the calm in the eye of the storm…then the trailing edge wallops you a second time. That was demonstrated really well in this video.
I have been driving in my car twice when it was raining so hard I had to pull over because I could not see the front of the hood of the car. the wind was blowing so hard that the right side tires were almost coming off the ground. scary.
a wind like that is really strong and dangerous. Last year, I experienced wind at 130 km / h and my parents had to hold me because I was in danger of being blown away. it is not being outside with this wind, especially for someone small and light.
Gotta say...good thing he shut the door when he did! Would have been flossing those branches out for a while lol #Yikes But I love that he seems to be a good sport about it =P
This video really does look like the worst of a powerful hurricane. The fact that it was this type of storm I’d never heard of before and in Iowa really shook me. I have co-workers in that area, and never thought they’d see what we might on the coast with a hurricane! Just the difference between (usually) fair warning for a hurricane and really none for this derecho is frightening.
Why is it that everyone seems to run to the largest windows on the windward side of the house to film one of the highest ever recorded wind events over land? Get to the leeward side of the house where there are few windows and you can be under a canopy and sheltered from the wind!! Staying on the windward side of the house especially in front of a large window like that puts you directly in the line of fire of deadly flying debris. Come on great footage, but lets use our heads.
I filmed most of it from the downstream side guy. I was very aware and considering that when i checked on the other side of the house, but thank you for the advice.
@@craigjones179 That came quite a bit harsher than intended. I just get concerned for the videographer (and any not so bright individuals watching) whenever I see someone taking more than a quick peek out the windward side windows. This like I said is horribly dangerous, and I do understand that you filmed most of it from the leeward side of the house. I've just seen too many who will film from the windward windows until the glass shatters and then they decide to move if they haven't already been injured. I'm worried about the safety of those people (wasn't really pointed at you although like I said knowing how strong those winds were I was very concerned), and the not so brights who may see it and think it's okay to film from a large glass window in cat 3 equivalent winds on the windward side of a dwelling. So I do apologize for it coming out so harsh its just the worry of injury involved and I've seen this far too many times now. Thank you for staying civil with your reply despite my miswording and how harsh it conveyed itself to be.
@@chronically.advocating Thanks for the follow up Jim, i appreciate it. We're all good buddy. :) One reason i wasnt too worried is that it was daylight and you could see what was going on. The freakiest for me is a tornado at night when you cant see anything. Had this been at night, i would have most likely been in the basement with my daughter. ;)
Well, Craig, I hope that your chainsaw was plenty thirsty for lots of gasoline, and that "his" teeth stayed sharp, for a long time, 'cause you had a staggering amount of cleanup to do. And I hope that your body was up to that forlorn task. The large limb-stock, you can cure as firewood for winter warmth, but if you neatly stack the small stuff on the curb, would Public Works take care of that? About this coming Winter, I sure hope that Iowa, DOES NOT get one, of Arctic/Antarctic proportions, with winds like this; 20' drifts; and, temps far more than 50DEG Below!
Here in Texas, we stay away from doors and windows during severe weather. We definitely do not open doors and windows during an event. Word to the wise brother...
