Yep. I had a family walk by and the mom was like we need to go and the father was like no it's good and continued to walk down the pier till it started pouring rain.
I experienced the derecho in Ohio in June last year, it was definitely crazier than this, but I can see the midwestern attitude of these people. Whole storm about to pop off and they don’t care. I use to be like that too and then I almost got struck by lightning.
If this was the June 13-14th event, the NWS classified this as an MCS (Mesoscale Convective System) when over Michigan. These storms later DID develop into a Derecho when they passed southeastward over Ohio. It's still an impressive storm outflow so nice footage either way. Typically, Derechos are very fast moving and produce 58+ mph winds for extended periods covering very large areas often several hundred miles end to end.
The best way to explain it is a derecho is as strong as a hurricane but generally without the rain and flooding afterwards. But unlike a hurricane and a tornado a derecho has no "eye" or "calm" in the storm. A tornado is a rotating windstorm, With a tornado you're dealing with 100 + mph winds but it moves along and it's usually passed and you're generally out of the storm within a couple handfuls of minutes. With the hurricane it's a rotating rainstorm that last days with various wind degrees. With a thunderstorm it's usually passed within a half an hour, with a derecho it's a steady straight wall of 100+ mile per hour winds for upwards of 6+ hours Generally with no various winds, and no eye for a calm break. And it's NOTHING like a typical thunderstorm you're used to.
@@FireEMS38 As far as I know, the derecho storms are, actually, unpredictable.. some say that they just form in front of ur eyes, what I know for sure is, that, rhey are destructive.. one of those storms passed through my neighborhood, most of the time, come with rain and veeeery strong winds..
