Kayaking the Stream at Prairie View Recreation Area - Bennington, Nebraska
No music, no yackin', just yakkin'
Join me as I explore the stream at Prairie View Recreation Area (not Prairie Queen) near Omaha, Nebraska. It's a smaller lake & stream but that doesn't mean there's nothing there.

Edited to fast forward through the repetitive parts, slowing to normal speed at some of the more interesting parts. The few minutes it took for the storm cloud to roll in and darken the sky is real-time. I strapped a GoPro to my deck and let it ride out the storm (winds up to 90 mph). Our rain gauge measured about 2.7" when it was over.

Prairie View Lake (Bennington, Nebraska)

Kayaking on the feeder stream for Prairie View Lake - Bennington, NE. June 8, 2024. We were able to go *A LOT* further back than normal. Usually we would have to stop at the bridge. Whenever we though we wouldn't be able to go further, we noticed an opening. I don't know if this was due to high water or if this will always be open.

I always stop and stretch my legs at Red Rock Falls on the way home (Omaha) from Minneapolis. It’s not well known and I usually have the place to myself. On Wednesday I ran into some of the locals were enjoying the warm weather. I sent up the drone and grabbed my camera… Sadly, my battery died before I was able to record my jump. (If you believe that, I have a bridge for sale...) Music: "Happin...

    Now that was more like a hurricane!! Was this a derecho storm?

    • @rainmakr3595
      @rainmakr3595 4 місяці тому

      According to the weather experts, that storm was not a derecho. The derecho was earlier in the year :). .......... "Although a technical issue, this storm is NOT a derecho. A derecho is defined by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) as a long-lived windstorm that produces consistent wind damage over a path of at least 400 miles and must be at least 60 miles in width. The windstorm on July 31 traveled only 230 miles from west of Lincoln to east of Des Moines. The width was also less than 60 miles. An example of a derecho would be the storms that came through Omaha on the morning of May 24th."

    That opening scene with daylight fading and HUGE outflow was breathtaking. The green sky amazing. The lightning bolts fantastic. I found the fast forwards on video very disruptive to my viewing experience. I would have instead enjoyed clips for each segment, with fade outs in between. The fast forwards really broke the flow for me. Congratulations 🎊 on witnessing this event.

      I appreciate the feedback. I haven't done a video like this before. I debated trimming the "fast forward" bits out, but decided to leave them in to give a better feel for how long the storm lasted; and, to give a bit of a visual that it really was about an hour as opposed to a storm that hits hard for 15 minutes then just rains.

      @@rainmakr3595 Usually, someone may post a storm with gentle drizzle, mist, and 15MPH windage and call it a "terrifying" storm. If it's 11-year-old kids doing it, they'll jiggle the camera a lot, and insert some cheesey CGI, if they're skilled enough.

    This storm had to be at day time because how bright it was but at first was so dark. That is amazing... I have autism and I love to watch tornado videos and stuff.

      Yes, this storm began around 5:30 p.m. and went on for an hour before the wind died down. It resulted in the largest power outage in history (for the Omaha area). Around 250,000 OPPD (Omaha Public Power District) customers were without power, some for more than 7 days. I lost power twice, once for 36 hours and again for 30 hours (and the power lines to my neighborhood are underground). Thanks for stopping by!
