Finally, someone that recorded the storm and didn't include the floor/ground or end the video right before the storm hit. Now we can see what it was like. Thank you!
Videos like this one are always fun to watch. And the video is most fun when it captures the storm from beginning to end and the person filming doesn't turn it off right before it hits and scurry off like a hypothetical F-7 tornado were hitting the neighborhood.
I live in Brookings. I experienced this storm. Fortunately I live in a basement apartment so I didn’t have to evacuate but it was still very scary. There were entire trees uprooted everywhere and the whole town lost power for a full day
Thank you for sharing. I am a California native but my father grew up in South Dakota and always talked about the weather and what it was like ~ very interesting to see & hear ~ Amazing
TYLER, BRO: I really hope you can build on and grow your channel. I just subscribed. I live in Minnesota and a few years ago and experienced a tornado, which destroyed our mobile home. At 10 o'-clock at nite, no thunderstorm,but a muggy evening, all of a sudden wind outside was screaming and we heard our big TV antenna crash down---and then the storm hit. My mom and I had to keep trying the door to get outside, finally getting blown of the steps where I tried to cover my Mom's head. What a nite. Never want another experience like that again! Take Care, and THANK YOU!I
#bellyjae: Thank you for your reponse. We had just moved into a new mobile home. The one that blew apart was only about 15ft. away. But the reason I thought we had to get out of the new one, it was vibrating like crazy. Turned out we would've been O.k, but who knew. So what was left of the storm-damaged trailer was a mangled, twisted steel frame. And remaining contents scattered all over the field down to the river. We lost all kinds of stuff, but kept our lives; although we washed sand, dirt, and gunk out of our hair and scalp for days! THANK YOU for listening!
Oh yeah. I’ve lived and walked through many a dust wall when I lived in Phoenix. I’m pretty sure I also have valley fever from having breathed in all that dust during those storms (I had nowhere to go because I was walking to work in an industrial park). But super glad you guys made it through.
OUTSTANDING FOOTAGE, ABOVE AND BEYOND!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆My God, that SKY!!!! I've never seen a sky so mind-bogglingly beautiful!!! It's amazing how the color of it went from mean-storm dark to damn-near bright orange in a matter of seconds!!! And those poor trees, uprooted so quickly like that. I can only hope the drivers on the road during this fiasco were storm chasers!!!
You did an excellent job filming the storm. I appreciate you letting the storm speak for itself: no talking or music.I hope you were able to sell your footage for a good price.😀
I remember waiting for the Derecho we had here and I took a lawn chair to the face. The wind switched on almost. Cut my face open as I was running inside, someone's recycle bin just missed me.
I live in Sibley Iowa (for context that's about 50 miles east from Sioux Falls South Dakota) and when this storm came in, it was a CRAZY view. The dust that was blown up from the fields and stuff gave it almost a yellow hue and the sirens blared (rare for non tornado warnings but not uncommon) and boy it was a doozie to say the least. I saw the storms as they were passing in from Sioux Falls and surrounding areas. One of the craziest storms I've been a part of.
You've got another subscriber! Fantastic audio, too. I just hope you don't get water in the mic or anything. You might just want to invest in a wind screen, too, but otherwise, what a fantastic job! Keep up the great work, because from the other comments I've read, you might just be going somewhere with this. I hope you love it as much as I love hearing it. Yes, I'm totally blind and have been all my life, and I can imagine myself being out there in that. It's pretty scary, and I've lived through two tornadoes. Thankfully, I was inside during those, and they scare me terribly, but they also fascinate me. Being blind my whole life hasn't done me any wrong, because I am alive and so fortunate to have all my other senses and faculties. In a funny way, there are things I'm glad I can't see, but there are others I try to visualize in my mind's eyes or the eyes of my soul. I'm grateful!
I live in Beadle County but have lived in Texas and Florida. I could not see outside my window. The winds were gusting to 90 mph. I was so scared. It reminded me so much of tropical storms and hurricanes are going through although not quite as bad but it still reminded me of them.
Beautiful alley of Fraxinus. Pruning the lower branches increases windage. In urban conditions, on the contrary, it is desirable to trim the tops of trees and the tips of branches to increase wind resistance.
okay, wow. Yeah I have only ever personally experienced 3 or 4 of these from watching it all the way across town to over my head in maybe...5 minutes. Sh-- moves QUICKLY! The winds are so intense too! It's like you jumped in front of a plane engine fan! 7:50 right behind the house looked liked a tiny satellite or like briefly rotating cloud matter or debris? It is super scary being outside in one of these. There's all sorts of factors like hail, being hit with blowing debris, brief tornadoes, flash flooding, etc. Nice footage man!
When you see a shelf cloud you need to get in your tornado shelter or in the basement and stay next to the south wall If all else fails get into a ditch and lie flat, and try to hold onto something. Anchor yourself with your belt, secured to something in the ground, like a fire hydrant
Wow amazing that you dont realise its a twister until someone tells you or if you see it for yourself and it cuould be too late. OR cutting it REALLY close. I love how they call it a twister instead of a tornado for a change too. Great footage! The power of the wind was enough to rip an entire tree as it became uprooted!
I saw that tornado coming from a mile away. Before it even hit. You can tell by the clouds. I live in tornado alley and here in Texas we get them every other day.
Woah I had the volume up way too loud when the siren went off 🤣. On another note major brownie points to you for braving that for the viewers. I'm guessing this is a Derecho? I'm in Australia and we don't get these sort of storms here, that I know of or I've seen anyway.
It does look like a derecho with the shelf clouds and wind. I experienced a derecho in August 2020. Absolutely terrifying. Thought it was a tornado at first but I was wrong. It was actually worse than a tornado with all the widespread damage it did. We had winds about 140mph. Our city looked like a war zone afterwards. This was the scariest day of my life. By the way, I’m from Cedar Rapids Iowa.
FINALLY someone who is filming decided to actually film it 🤔😝 God Bless 💜 No crazy lady loosing her mind in the background. It’s very easy to type about a crazy person yelling during a tornado but if it was me I’m sure I would sound like a little daisy of flower preteen girl 🫣
It seems as if the only time I will ever see a storm like this is on videoes. Here in New Jersey, massive thunderstorms seem to be a rare thing anymore. Although storms if this magnitude can happen here, all too often they are scattered, which means some storm lovers will get cheated. I wonder quite often if I ever will see another descent thunderstorm again ever. What I would not give to live someplace like this, where storms are more widespread, and more spectacular.
I live in Fargo-morehead we heard about the storms in south Dakota and Minnesota so I was that can do some damage in here but storms weekend significantly and nothing happened
At the beginning I was looking at the trees on the right and idly wondering if they perhaps were going to get damaged or knocked down by the storm - but then thought it wasn't going to be that bad. But then the wind arrived and to my surprise, one tree snapped off halfway up, and three others tipped over.
What kind of locks are on those bikes because baybeeeee… they didn’t move an inch. Trees down, power outages, yet not a peddle spun nor tire moved. Even stayed solid as a piece of siding slid past 😅😂
I got fooled by the lull that lasted about a minute, then Zeus hit the Dyson Vacuum cleaner turbo button. It was scary. Having a massive wall of wind just mowing away in a massive 250 mile wide wall. My mistake was not appreciated how much air was in front of the wall front. I had a black eye for almost a month. It missed by nose, I've never been punched that hard as a fighter.
are you from Howard? my parents where born and raised there. i loved spending my summers on my grandpas farm and with my other grandparents a block up from ben Franklin.. my parents are Barb Jerlow and Jim Clark
That sky was CRAZY! Orange? I wondered if that tree ever fell entirely on those cars or if the owners were able to drive them out of there before they were crushed.
