Intercepting Dangerous Midwest Derecho - Live As It Happened - 7/15/24 

I love how you guys tell how the tornadoes form and it helps me understand better how they form and what kind of tornadoes they are

Just watched you and your Dad on Max Plus. My heart goes out to everyone that gets hit with tornados. You storm chasers put your lives at rick to inform people and to help people and may God protect you all at all times. Bless each and every one of you. Never stop chasing and thank you for all that all of you do.

I hope meteorologists see this video. This derecho spawned a lot of tornado warnings on the front edge of that derecho 7/15/24, but no tornadoes were detected. Showing what the clouds and winds were doing on the front edge of the storms while tornado warnings were being issued is very valuable information. I love what you do and y'all did an awesome job with this intercept. Stay safe! ❤

Im a weather buff. Grew up in the midwest where thunderstorms sometimes violent thunderstorms were a part of life. Love this vid, stay safe.

I knew this one was gonna be tornadic as it came up so fast and strong, then after it passed we were watching the clouds in the sky swirling in opposite directions!

Watch this channel every day, although sometimes after stream from wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 love your chases, old school tornado chasing vibes

Just discovered ,I’m so much better at spotting storms than snakes. That’s why I stay out of the woods or long grass. Great job!!! East, go East. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I caught the whole event, crazy straight line winds up to 100+! And also saw a few tornadoes here and there.

I’m new . I just watched the 7-15 -24. I hung on to the end and loved so much seeing the lightening. My favourite thing, that was so awesome. Thank you for being excited about the lightening.

I like the fact that you’re live in person and I can see your face. Thank you so much. I don’t really know why I’ve binged watched tornado videos, but I do. I’m 70 years old and I really like it.🎉

❤❤❤ I love watching your videos, the places are very beautiful.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a>:01 one of the many ASTONISHING views we seen this chase. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="178">2:58</a>:35 ominous darkness. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="234">3:54</a>:46 SPIDER LIGHTNING. Such a thrilling chase 💙❤️

We live in northwest Indiana we got a tornado warning and had to take cover few tornado close calls then power flickered and went out scary experience

Yep I can hear you stay safe love what you do

Amazing cell cloud. Massive and huge! Stay safe

I took a 10.2k J/kg CAPE sounding with sufficient 30-40 knot mid and upper level support to boot just north of the metro on the 20z HRRR and decided to "chase" by staying at work in downtown Des Moines and NOT taking PTO for once. Got the EF-1 just as it crossed the loop, took a few decent pictures for the NWS. Cell formation and merging happened about a county NW of town over only a half-hour span just ahead of the southward-bound OFB from the main line by Ames, carving a brief but PERFECT hook echo and fat wall cloud as it rolled in. A chase partner of mine got a brief one up by Iowa City at 20z too - what a day!

I am from Kewanee! my family and friends still live there. they have a bunch of damage from trees. 😞 they are saying tornado! people spotted funnels over town.

Your so awesome Freddy

Love what you do! I watch for you often. You and your dad are awesome

I love storm chasing with you guys I can here you guys

another great stream couldnt watch but thank you Freddy!

Thanks!

Mr.Mckinney go to 2 hours and 56 minutes right before the interceptbits looks like some type of demon faces looking directly at you it's really trippy

Stay safe!!!

Yes and I loved it that was intense and and amazing and I loved it and yes and I was happy when they said that about you I'm happy they said that you are

"Genesa or whatever the heck that town is called" Me: this guy is funny, subscribed

Wicked chase today Freddy! 💯❤️

Roughly an hour later from what you see at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="160">2:40</a>:55 in this amazing chase video is what I watched approach from my windows. This monster was so huge and affected such a widespread area. It was garbage night where I was too so the whole area is littered with garbage now. There was no warning or time to pull in the bins. The sirens went off after the initial line passed too so people had to scramble to their safe areas while hearing minor debris smack their homes. Excellent work on this chase!!

Welcome to Iowa lol, am I a funnel or not? Am I going to snow or shine? You just never know...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="316">5:16</a> no I missed it I do believe it's on Bob's road LOL stay safe

Crazy how it went from like 87° to 70° in about an hour. That's definitely tornadic weather.

I'm from Wisconsin we get alot of tornadoes it sucks I hate basements ❤🙏 hope everyone was safe and no real bad damage

In illinois i forgot what day but we had a siren happen and after wards we saw HUGE trees knocked down

Monmouth, Iowa!? My old stomping grounds! I'm now in Chicago and it was wicked last night!

Too bad I wasn't here last night. I could have told you some shortcuts towards Lost Nation and Delmar, then on towards DeWitt. I know all those roads! I lived in Maquoketa for over 20 years, went to school there, and Oxford Junction.

superb video, very exciting! Is "qlcs" the new favorite term for weather chasers to use??? I trust somewhere in the video you explained to us lay people what that stands for and means! But, I did look it up! Nice work!!!

Luckily my parents don't have work that day

I like storm chasing videos

We knew well ahead of time this was coming, and being from Cedar Rapids, we did NOT mess around. We turned the baby monitor camera toward the window, just so we could see what was happening upstairs while we waited in the basement, and then we wouldnt be tempted to go look out the windows ourselves.

That Strom is moving fast!

I’m watching from Nebraska, we’ve had some really bad weather this spring and summer

Live in kewanee, officially EF1, usually misses us, not this time.....missed work tues with trees and power lines in my driveway, couldnt move until they cleared it...what a mess

I know this is old but had to leave a God bless to you and everyone ❤

Good evening freddy!thank you for the interesting video.

I heard under bridges don't want to do or sit in a car god bless you all that do that chasing stotms 🙏🙏♥️♥️

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="225">3:45</a>:40 Love it!👍😃⚡

great videos.. thanks for doing this

Super familiar with the whole area between the Quad Cities and south of Geneseo, hit East Moline pretty hard but rapidly intensified after it passed Geneseo. Was watching the live news and they showed a 130mph reading on the velocity around Kewanee. Lived in the QC for 25 years have never seen winds like this storm.

Stay safe 🙏🙏

Yes.i watch it

came here after the movie

yes, I’ve seen you. I love that show. Thank you for telling people about it. It was so amazing but so scary at the same time by the way if you watched a new episode, did you watch the hurricane Ida one? I just discovered your channel and I really like it. once again, I found a person which ones to look at natural disasters from a close, but I grow up. I want to be a storm chaser.⛈⛈⛈

I can hear perfectly

❤

When 95 deg.turns into 75 real fast

I was there saw it too

Man here in Colorado we got a massive storm system from Cheyanne to Fort Morgan absolutely slamming us currently. 💀 Stay safe anyone else who’s currently in it

It feels so weird watching this after I was also in this storm on a road trip, and it seems, I thought it was gonna be different from a different angle, but really, it's not cause I was on the edge, I was heading in Salen, Oy when the big storm hit, so I have no idea how to even explain how weird this storm was from a real point of view

Freddy is GORGEOUS!!!

The thumbnai GOT ME SCARED

All the time I kept thinking...man that Chad is a quiet dude almost comatose. Now, I'm leaning more towards Chat and that would be us. When someone says the word debris I always say oh yep I know Billy Joe Debris, he played for Dallas back in the day. Other than that I'm prolly just going to bed.

Sometimes looks like a scene from the Moses movie on Easter

Sometimes like a wave crashing on a surf break

i love your vids ❤

I'm from Dunkin county Missouri

I watched Eye of the Storm!

A little town called kennett

Damn you are brave

Intercepting means to abstruct something to prevent it from continuing. QUESTION: How are you going to stop this thing?

Pay attention to the road

I think a watch isnt as bad as a warning a watch is one could happen warning is take covet immediately ❤🙏

Hi

Be safe I'm new to thjs

Coming in great

hi

Kentucky.

Elroy, WI. 😊

The only thing that makes sense to me right now as 😢right after 😢this was a very sad moment and

R ichmond, Va.

i am storm chasing right now

Hello from Cedar Rapids, IA. Love the video! But please don’t call it a derecheo. It’s derecho.

How's it going

You were a bit busy..😊

Sometimes black as pitch

So you’re driving, chasing a storm, monitoring your radar map, shooting live and reading your chat all at the same time….and that’s smart much less safe?

Kick start

Hi I hear u

Drinking my cherry coke pop.

Where are you from, Chaser?

728 pm

This derecho was nothing compared to the 2020 derecho!

I would just like to say something too bad you weren't in Tama Iowa when this hit. I live 1 1/2 mi away from my work and on my way home I seen more destruction than you have shown in this whole video. We couldn't even drive down our roads there were trees everywhere big ass trees just broke like a matchstick Just saying if you wanted to see something good you should have been in Tama Iowa

Derecho, not deratio.

😅red flag for real but I don’t think 😢😂

@ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="2380">39:40</a>... You're sitting in the self-described "perfect place", camera all dialed in, and you decide to move, giving us a perfect view of strip mall suburbia, looking directly AWAY from the action....why?

why
