Thank you for the video. I especially like how you got the ominous sound of the wind and approach. I had never heard that in my 42 years on the planet and it was truly something
I was honestly waiting for Imhotep’s face to emerge from that incoming wall of destruction! (The Mummy, lol). Seriously, I am floored to see so many cars milling about. Your house started to literally shake @ 4:48. Thank you for sharing the incredible footage!
This storm never hit where I lived, but watching it unfold on TV was absolutely terrifying. We had a storm where I live too but not to this degree, great video!
I live in Faisalabad, Pakistan . And believe me as a habitant of a semi arid climate region, I have seen this multiple times in my life. These are sometimes followed by heavy thunderstorms and downpours.
i can't believe all the traffic on the road right as it hit and during the storm. the time to move or stay put would have been when the clouds were rolling toward the neighborhood i would think.
yes, in all these derecho videos, people are just driving driving driving around through the whole thing. I don’t get it. Must be some knd of thrill, to challenge the winds??
Thank you for posting this! I am sure many people have videos like this of the storm but just haven't posted them, including me, but half the video is just me freaking out because I genuinely thought there was a tornado lol
Perhaps this is a place that gets very little rain overall. While they may get thunder and lightning, the atmosphere is do hot and dry, most of the rain evaporates before reaching the ground.
We just got hit by a derecho storm here in ontario canada last weekend. biggest storm on record here, with winds up to 80mph. Never seen anything like it. Almost knocked all of southern ontario off the power grid
We had a wall of dust coming from the Northeast into the San Fernando Valley. This was due to the Santa Ana Winds. By the late afternoon and evening, it made the air very hazy despite the strong winds that were blowing. At night it was still hazy. It caused me to have a bad hay fever attack.
@Christine Whitten Sure, we get decent storms, but NOT like the USA. I remember being there, and watching the incredible speed and power of a forming tornado,ant watching it touch down. Simply amazing!!! So, as an Aussie, I have been and seem, and AM entitled to my opinions!!! Cheers.
@@theresahickson8326 We get some pretty wicked weather (for Australia), but not the really frightening stuff from over there. Our “bad” weather is once in a blue moon really, but yours is all the time. I would be terrified if I had to worry about those tornados all the time during storm season. I love coming over there, but heck, not in storm season.
@@berilmurray9879 In Sydney we don't exactly get 'wicked' weather but rather just heavy downpours which last for days causing major flooding. During storm season Sydney gets one wicked storm and then that's it.
This neighborhood is perfect for withstanding this sort of storm. Zero tall trees, no shrubs or other plant matter that turn into debris. Grass lawn that is basically a green parking lot. Beautiful however? Very subjective. It looks very soulless to me. :/
This storm went for hundreds of miles, from Nebraska to Moorhead, MN. I wonder how many grain bins it blew down. I saw many one month later driving through about half the area affected.
Here it comes! Then you hear Honey I just really feel the need to drive around and maybe go to the store! I don't know. I just know I gotts ta drive in it!
@@duojs Wow, it this called a sand storm? I never seen this before as well. Where I am from once a storm hits, the wind goes up to 50-60 mph, once it got to 70 mph. Now 80 mph and there is just dirt all up in the air is even crazy! When I first saw the video I though it was a tornado. You could barley even seen anything, and stuff is going everywhere. People are for some reason going out and when they should be in their houses and wait it out, before going back out. Wow, very interesting, stay safe! And nice video!
Something Very Sinister going on with that! I watched the sky ((right corner of the screen)), watch it. Then last few minutes what it does... VERY STRANGE!
Which city was this filmed in? I used to live in Brookings, and saw several videos where I knew right away it was Brookings and the exact locations in town that showed a massive dust storm just before the derecho hit. Also for everyone debating this was by definition a dust storm and a derecho. In many areas especially arid regions these are not always mutually exclusive in fact in many cases derechos cause the preceding dust storm via outflow winds.
This is called a haboob a sandstorm. I watched another one where it went from bright daylight to midnight dark in just a few minutes. That was in South Dakota.
I seen a video I believe of that storm, they were directly hit by it! I still would've been getting in the basement though, better not take any chances! Oh, they were called the Derecho winds, right!?
Watching all those cars going by, I was hoping all those people were going home, or to some shelter. At first it looked like a heavy thunderstorm moving in but turned out to be a dust storm, rather than a rainstorm.
I'll be honest, I never had any interest in visiting and hardly ever think about SD, but they look to have some very nice homes and neighborhood here. But why Is everyone driving like it's a normal sunny day? Lol
In 2023 Amazon will have surpassed FedEx & UPS as well as the Postal Services in sheer number of packages delivered, you have to give credit to the sheer determination of that company! Amazon is Amazing! 😇👍🇺🇸
It's the gust front. During massive and severe thunderstorms like this, the outflowing air hits the ground at a speed that is greater than the speed of the storm's movement, thus sometimes minutes pass of wind before the actual storm arrives.
i don't get it . Only wind and sand. No hail, no rain, just wind. What's the big deal ? I'm sorry, but here on the east coast that was a pitiful storm.
"pitiful storm" that produced 16 tornadoes. argusleader.comNational Weather Service has confirmed 16 tornadoes in May 12 derecho; total could still growMore than a week after an eastern South Dakota storm spawned multiple tornadoes, storm reports show at least 16 funnel clouds.
