We had a real bad storm blow through like this recently here in MD, it was crazy. Went from 0-100 in like 5 minutes, knocked power out in most parts of town, serious lines down, it was fun.
Driving thru Newmarket, New Hampshire about 45 years ago, I looked in the rear view mirror. The sky looked EXACTLY like the picture of "tornado sky" in the Little Golden Book Encyclopedia. Remember those? 😂 Anyway, about 5 seconds later, rain came down in buckets, and the wind began to really blow as hard as I've ever seen it blow. I drove thru it, then returned about 30 minutes later. Trees were uprooted, picnic tables were tossed around all over the place, slate shingles had been torn off the roof of the library, and the Amoco sign looked like it had been crunched by the hand of a giant. Not a tornado, but tornado-like winds 😮
We've had several storms this year with damaging straight line winds. I feel the intensity and frequency is increasing in these storms lately. We have a storm of the century almost yearly now, it seems.
If it was me, I’d be checking the back of the house for a tornado! Since the wind direction seemed to be coming from that direction. Especially, after seeing a green sky, lightning, sudden drop in temperature and winds kicking up. Either hail or a tornado or both are coming your way! Time to get low. I don’t know if he’s new to Missouri, but if he’s not, he should know the signs! I left Oklahoma when I was 12 and 60 years later, I still know the signs!
It ended up being straight line winds but no tornado. It did cause a lot of damage. Missouri has been my home for my whole life, so I'm very aware of tornadoes. I was ready to get to my shelter at any moment, but I've been through worse storms, so I wasn't too concerned. I love storms with a passion! Thanks for watching!
I would have been in the house and filmed it from the window. Was that your dog out with you watching the storm? 😊😊 Thanks for replying. We wondered why it didnt move lol. We are in the UK we dont get many storms like that one.
Waited for the escalation per the title. Yes the wind picked up and rain started, but nothing even close to spectacular or even interesting. Bet the guy filming doesn’t even know his neighbor phone number so he could advise him about his shed roof lifting. Nice sunset to the east. When did they switch to that direction?
Thanks for watching and commenting. It must have touched you somewhere to leave such a wonderful comment. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to say this. Hopefully, you feel much better, and you're walking on sunshine all day now! God bless you, sir!
@@mycmills it occurred to me after i posted my comment that it sounded rather snarkey and i didn't really mean it to be.....i'm no troll. i'm so glad you didn't take it that way! while i can't hope to explain the phenomenon that occurred where you live, the sun ALWAYS sets in the west where i live! anyway, thanks for the video of that sudden storm and thanks for being a good sport my friend
I'm glad you noticed. That's an outline for a walkway I'm going to build after I get my leach lines replaced. Those bricks were salvaged by Johnny Morris and given to me by the organization I work for. They were made in the 40's and they are really neat. I'll make a video on those soon, and the landscaping project as it progresses. Thanks for watching!
@kippnovak9833 It may take until next spring, but I will definitely do a video on it when it's done and as it comes along. I have about 10 projects going on at once, so stay tuned! 🙂
My Mother was from Ohio so when we had yellowish/greenish skies she called and told us to get into the bathroom and stay there till she called. Yes it was a tornado in SW Washington State!!! 1972 Vancouver tornado. Lost a school, bowling alley, and several homes
The tint simply means there is a certain percentage of moisture in the air and the sun is hitting at an angle that illuminates it with a deeper hue like the ones we get in later afternoon to evening .
Storms make me nervous. When I lived in Kansas years ago, we had lots of tornados. In 1991, Andover KS had a devastating f-5 that wiped out half the town. I was in the basement of a grocery store a couple of miles away. The roar was deafening, like a bunch of jet engines blasting away. It was terrifying.
@marlesimbeck9875 Andover got hit again in 2022. They just reopened the YMCA in July 2024. Didn't destroy the town but did a good bit of damage. I am from Georgia and I lived in Oklahoma when one ripped through the outskirts of our town, now in Wichita and Andover got hit. Time for me to leave the Midwest.
Love to hear the rain and thunder in the real. I live in a semi desert of Washington state. It's comforting to hear and see storms. Thanks for the post 😊😊😊😊
I’ve lived in Nebraska my whole life but my son thinks a green sky is just the reflection of Sun light off the green grass and trees. Hopefully he learns the truth otherwise I’ll have to save his $&*!
Whenever I've seen the green in oncoming storm clouds it usually meant high winds or hail or both. Whoever says it don't hasnt spent a lot of time outside enjoying a good rolling thunderstorm. Some of my favorite times in Mississippi as a child in Lee and Monroe counties were on my grandma's back porch watching the storms roll through. I got my son hooked on enjoying them and the thunder and lightning shows that go with them. We both still love em to this day and always will.
NONE of you are correct about a greenish tint. Oxygen is O2. Ozone is O3. Lightning rips apart oxygen (or water vapor) molecules, and some of them recombine into ozone. ALSO...the stronger the upward vertical motions within a storm, the greater the rate of precipitation formation. The greater the precipitation formation, the more likely you will produce lightning. As a side benefit..the stronger the upward vertical motions, the MORE likely you will also get hail, IF the temperature profile in the vertical supports this. As a side check..you RARELY get hail in Florida, but green tints are quite common in their moisture-laden, high lightning tropical storms. Before anyone gets stupid, I have a Master's Degree in Atmospheric Science, and taught Severe Weather and Analysis for a loong time.
You're right about the green tinted storms in Florida. I live in Florida, and I've seen a few. Been caught driving in one. Don't want to go through that again!
You sound an awful lot that that so called star gazer intellectual that loves nothing more than the sound of his own voice. Braniac wannabes always take the fun out of everything they see. Fuck em.
Your dog appeared motionless. I was hoping to see more of him. Thank you, loved it. Makes me want to go out and anchor down all my stuff before fall and winter.
We went through there and stayed at Roaring River lodge the day after....It was terrible seeing all the trees uprooted down by the hatchery and old spring...and Cassville was tore, tore up!! Fortunately for us the lodge was all good..Beautiful place down there!
Nope, I just hope for the best. There's nowhere close by to go if anything did happen anyway. We go under the stairwell in a closet if things get too sideways.
On my 1st day living in Texas (California native here) I was given the advice that if I ever looked up and saw clouds and a greenish sky, to grab the radio and find shelter. Oh, and we were living in a mobile home, so.......
More lie solid water than raindrops. We so this in NW Oregon but rarely with thunder or lightning. Often with hail. It lasts a few minutes and after the sun is out and chilled surfaces are steaming in the bright sunlight. I spent my first 10 years in Minnesota. I miss those good thunder storms. The huge CRACK when lightning hit the lake.
Why is this how every midwesterner ever acts 😂 When I was little I'd sit on the step and watch the 2 maples that made a canopy in my back yard blow apart. Our neighbors got knocked down by a straight line wind when I was 17 on the 4th of July. Crushed my big brown dodge van lol. Love the video! Happy storm watching from Michigan
That cold air was from the gust front, descending rain cooled air rushing out of the storm. Probably around 70 MPH. For real excitement, try flying in one of those in a helicopter!
I had to laugh when you said it's like a Florida rain because I live in Florida, and that kind of storm is a common occurrence here. It's okay until you get caught driving in it, which has happened to me a few times. Scary, white-knuckle driving with the wipers on high, and you still can't see much! It can get so heavy that I can't see my neighbor's house across the street.
That was how it was when I visited family down there in Chiefland and Crystal River. Very intense storms and they said it was normal, get used to it. I do love storms though! 😃
We bought this place during the housing crisis and way overpaid given the amount of work needing done. It's a work in progress to put it mildly. It is a very beautiful area, though, and we're blessed to live here. Thanks for watching! 😃
