Hi Josh Solheim, did you take this video? If so, would you be willing to let NBCUniversal use it across its partners and platforms?
yes i did!...you can use it just give me credit and provide a link/means to the full video!
-also if you could notify me when you use it that would be stellar, a comment in here works for notification
@@jasolhe great thank you! will do
@@farahotero-amad4913 About time this video got noticed by the media. It's definitely the best of the derecho event.

@Magei Tran Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Man you’re brave. As soon as I seen that church roof go I’d have been in the basement. Absolutely amazing video. The sheer ferocity and duration of this storm is wild. You definitely wouldn’t expect such a punch from a land based storm like this.
Garage n basement on same level
Daaaaaamn!
This is so stupid they need to be some where safe
@@evonwilliams7502 the poster of the video said the garage and basement are on the same level of the house. If that's the case...I'd be in the garage watching too.
your about the most correct on land based . Hurricane staying a cat 3-4 all the way to cedar rapids would have been an out rage event for most. If a hurricane ever did travel this far as a cat 3 or 4 . The Scientist would have quit there Jobs. lol
Full points to the guy that installed the basketball hoop.
And the satellite dish on the neighbor's house across the street....
Could’ve been an alien, careful now.

And the window glazer! That is terrifying to watch. Those straightline winds are INSANE!
You guys went through an entire 12 hour hurricane in like 30 minutes or less. Just nuts.
This Storm lasted up to an hour and 20 minutes.
No

@@trafficjon400 nahh an hour and 26 mins
@@KoId. Off 1 minute 🥴😁😂🤣
I'm a professional weather spotter with NOAA and your video is among the best I've seen, I would estimate peak wind gusts were up around 120 mph which is equivalent to a Cat 3 hurricane but over land! I'm hoping no one was injured & your house didn't sustain severe damage. That was an unusual storm to say the least actually one of the worst I've seen in my 50 years following weather!
You should have been in northern wisconsin on november 10th, 1975! That was pretty close to this.
That would be like the eye wall event
Facepalm... this video was no where near 120 man... I lived through the eye wall of Hurricane Ivan which actually was a Cat 3 of 115 mph and it was twice as fast as this. I’ve also been through several other Hurricanes in Pensacola, Florida. I’ve also extensively studied meteorology for 27 years now.
This was a horrible horrible storm but in this particular video in his location I would say 75 mph would be more accurate. If you’re a professional weather spotter then you should know the damage in his neighborhood is consistent with Cat 1 damage.
Cat 3 hurricanes don’t leave many trees standing at all... heavy heavy structural damage to homes and businesses occur. There were a bunch of limbs down and some structure damage in the background but all of those homes in his neighborhood did just fine... didn’t even see any shingles flying off.
Now around town and other areas probably saw Cat 2 winds as there was some serious reports of damage but this video confirms that most guys are bad judges of two things... size and wind speed 😂. You hear it in every bad weather video on UA-cam... “that’s a hundred!” And I’m here like nah, 45 or 55 man... 😂
@@jasonwhite5141 Oh stop being a fucking condescending internet "expert" to try to make yourself feel better. Different vegetation, different construction, different expectation of weather. I'd like to see your pompous ass drive in the winter up in the upper midwest without needing an emergency xanax. No need to take away from what happened with this storm to try to inflate your own god damned ego...
@@jasonwhite5141 well they reported cedar rapids ,,, 126 to 140
Absolutely insane storm! I didn’t even know about Derecho’s until this happened.
Kudos for filming this and I’m glad y’all managed to stay safe!
Me either! I was like what? I thought the world was ending it came on that fast and lasted forever!
I’ve seen this type of stuff in person before and it’s crazy.
Same! I had never heard of them until this storm!
It's called weather manufacturing...watch Mike Morales on UA-cam.
I just kept yelling.."when is this going to stop!!?" it went on for 45 minutes
That city should change it’s name to Rapid Cedars.
lol
stolen comment but still funny.
As a Cedar Rapidian myself, I find that quite funny!
@@Number1ReggaeHunter I've watched probably a half dozen videos on this.... Same goofy pun in every comments section.
Yeah really it was quite windy 🌬
There is a guy that was in his workshop which was made out of metal and the only other solid structure in the entire workshop was the bathroom. So he ran into the bathroom and took shelter there. Well a few seconds later a massive gash is ripped into the roof and 2 seconds later everything starts to fall apart. He quickly shuts the door and he hunkers down waiting for the storm to finish. When the storm had finished the only thing left standing was the bathroom and the back wall. Everything else was demolished. He had cars in the workshop (including what looked a super expensive car) and of course they were ok. He also had the workshop's mascot in the bathroom as well, a frog, so he wasn't alone. But it was amazing to watch what happened
That was Brandon McCormick. He does interior painting. Great guy!
Thanks for editing and rotating the video. Those winds are hurricane like and if you've never been in one before you don't open exterior doors to allow the wind to get underneath your roof. If the wind had shifted and blown into your garage it could've lifted your roof off the house. Derecho's make a case for changing building codes to match hurricane standards such as roof and wall ties along with garage door bracing to prevent blow ins.
Trust me had i felt any sufficient wind in the garage i'd have bolted in a heartbeat !
From what I hear these winds dont 'shift' they move from west to east
Binge watch vids from this derecho, you guys got the worst of it
same, dude!... this is my fifth or sixth video. this one really showed the intensity of it. I just watched an hour long vlog that a gentleman took during the storm. It was pretty good.
Here is the link for the vlog:
ua-cam.com/video/JZzsGZPXOGM/v-deo.html
Hey, I watched that one too. Been watching all of them. It’s just unreal. I have to admit, I had never heard of a derecho before this happened. Crazy.
I finally got my internet service back yesterday, 22 days after this storm. I'm now able to watch videos of it on UA-cam. I experienced it from inside my warehouse at work looking out a window. Utterly ridiculous.
cedar rapids/marion definitely got it worst
@@alexslingluff yes with the 140 mph winds!! at least there was NO FLOODING this time. betty gordon, ames, iowa
my parents live just south of you guys. their condo had windows sucked out. You guys were lucky in that garage!
As soon as this started I knew this was no ordinary thunderstorm or tornado because the wind was not gusting or rotating. This was just a continuous sustained wind around 100 mph. A wall of wind that didn't stop until it passed. An unbelievable day I'll never forget.
Yep, that's a derecho for ya.
I totally agree it was unbelievable. Never has a derecho lasted so long and this was, in fact, the most costly thunderstorm(?) in history
Uhh did u not see those wind gust?
Maximum Sustained wind speeds recorded in Cedar Rapids was 99 mph with a peak gust of 112mph. Which means in some spots, the area that got hit the hardest experienced category 2 force winds, while most got Tropical force- category 1 force winds of 60-80 mph sustained winds, with gusts 70-90 mph
I got goosebumps! This is the 1st video that really captures the gnarlness of this horrible storm. It looked like this at our house too. I've been trying to describe the wind and how waves of dirt and debris fly by as a lot of people dont realize the seriousness of the storm. I'm just going to have people watch this from now on. Thank you for capturing this. Hope you and your family are safe and things are starting to get back to normal for you.
This is on par with many hurricane videos out there.
A derecho is a land hurricane.
@@sezzyridge Lol, no my, heart. A hurricane can last for days, not a couple of hours, and there's usually major flooding associated with it. Not just some trees down. lol
@@sezzyridge A short-lived small one - been there, done that.
Jennifer lawrence, you get more notice when a hurricane will hit landfall so there is a bit more prep time. Here in Iowa we get tornadoes and sometimes severe storms. THIS was beyond severe! Every and I do mean EVERY street/home had some damage. I’m surprised that most houses stood strong. In areas of hurricanes they have different building standards to go by simply because they DO experience hurricanes EVERY year. This isn’t the first derecho in east central Iowa but this was definitely the worse at 140mph winds.
@Digby Dooright Laura was weird though, the peak wind seemed to be very isolated but if u got laura's true peak winds, i bet you would think different.
Very powerful! Like a Category 3 or 4 hurricane. This does not happen in my country, you have a unique climate. Hello from Ukraine :)
Hello Ukraine!...... My understanding of the actual weather phenomenon seen in this video is the result of extremely powerful updrafts ahead of the storm which literally dislodge winds associated with the jet stream, and redirects those winds to the surface of the earth. Essentially, you're seeing trees being blown over by winds that are normally 25,000+ feet (7600+ meters) above the ground.
@@givemepizzaorgivemedeath3983 You probably mean downdrafts? In addition, if you carefully watch the video, you will notice that at moments of strong gusts the downpour also intensifies, that is, there is something like rain bombs along the entire storm line.
America has every type of weather event you could ask for.
We didn't think this happens in our country either!!! It was insane.
i am groot
Yet another video showing how Midwesterners react when hit with an insane storm : “Yeah, I’m thinking that taking the afternoon off might be a possibility.”
Amazing video. Thanks for posting.
Midwest ppl aren't afraid of much we have a tornado warning go out itsy like here hold my beer I got to record this thing, oh damn it just took out the corner gas station now I have to go in town for beer and smokes
He's so chill, "we have a broom" 🕺🏻👍🏼
Just when you think the wind can't possibly get any stronger, it does!
I'm from Florida so I had to look twice at the title because I thought someone uploaded a video of an approaching or made landfall hurricane instead of a derecho storm as stated in tbe title.
I had never heard of this type of weather system before. Wow I hope everyone made it out safe and God bless you guys.
I would want to put the car in the garage as much as possible, at least some of it would be protected.
Clive Glover I would too...they probably can’t cuz they are using it for storage....
looks like the other car is in the garage, luckily the little Pontiac did ok
Are you kidding? That’s what insurance is for! New paint job!
Besides, they did the right thing. They absolutely should not risk getting hit by debris or even a small twig in that wind!
@@janicegarcia1478 I'm not suggesting they go out in that wind, they would have seen dark clouds coming & weather alerts are broadcast on tv & radio in advance of bad weather. I'm saying I'd have tried to put the car into the garage before the storm hit.
We'll, you're right about wanting to put the car in but if you'll notice, they have a ping-pong table in there.
an entire roof came off and there's branches everywhere yet that sign at 3:07 is still going strong
“The roof has been de-gloved” Well put! Thanks for capturing and sharing this!
Watched them all, great video’s. Glad you put it up. A big hello and best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
I'm sorry you guys had to go through that, coming from someone who's lived in South Florida for the past 43 years (my age) I understand what you went through. I went through Hurricane Andrew, talk about scary! With all that being said, you got beautiful footage
The wind speeds shown in this video pretty much rival the winds from Hurricane Laura. Absolutely amazing video. Do hope that things have now improved in Iowa after this violent storm.
They have. I work for a disaster restoration company and we’re still cleaning up Cedar Rapids, Marion and Iowa City.
How This video was not even that Intense, just gusts 60-75 mph, but there was a peak wind gust of 112 mph recorded in Cedar Rapids, with a peak sustained winds also recorded at 99 mph (Cat 2 force winds), BUT Most of Cedar Rapids got tropical storm force winds- Cat 1 force winds (Sustained 60-80 Mph with gusts 70-90 mph) Akins, IA got a recoded gust of 110 mph on a handheld anemometer, which means someone was out there to record it, and another gust of 126 mph, there was never 140 mph winds
Outstanding video ! We had a derecho in MD few years ago, it was bad but nothing like this. Hope everyone is safe. Thanks for capturing such a particular weather event 👍
I am sitting here in Marion, Iowa on April 13th, 2021 and this brinks back such traumatic feelings from that storm.
As much as Man thinks he's in control he ain't hope everyone is ok.
I need my relationship as strong as that direct tv dish on his neighbors house across the street
Looool
Ikr
Mine was unscathed as well lol!
Out of all the videos I've scene, in my life time , in person, or on video, this ranks up there. Wow!!!!
Dude, I’ve been seeing so much of this storm and I was like “hurricane in Iowa!? What!?” But it was just a storm, which is more unbelievable
Josh--thank you SO MUCH for "bravin' it out" (even from within the garage) videoing this terrible storm!! Since the 10th of August, I have watched about 10 or 20 other people's videos....and I don't know Iowa...but YOUR video, in YOUR location, Hands Down is the BEST (I've seen). I live 30 miles north of Madison, WI; we did not get the detector. Just some subsidiary wind from your terrible storm. I feel so bad for all the unfortunate farmers who lost their crops, along with their homesteads. Many, many thousands of not only Iowans, but also people in other states as well had terrible damage to their personal property, damage to wherever they may work, damage to those "big green things" that many people nurture and care-for from the day they, perhaps, plant them in the ground! I hope I never have to experience an event like the one you caught on video!! Watching the roof disintegrate and seeing all the papers and insulation fly out of that structure in the early part of your video was unreal, too! Thankfully--derechos are not a commonly occurring storm. Yes-Thankfully!
Dang "spell-check" turned DERECHO TO DETECTOR. Duh.
From Memphis area here and we had one of those storms in July 2003. We dubbed it “hurricane Elvis”. They said our winds topped out at 103 or 104 mph. I will never forget that storm and the devastation it caused our city. So glad you guys were ok!! We always worry about tornados and forget that these can be just as or even more devastating.
Thx for commenting
It looks like a tornado put itself in park and said I'm going to hang out in your neighborhood for a few, I hope everybody was ok from this.
Excellent depiction couldnt have said it better myself
Much respect to your building codes. For the most part the houses did very well.
“That’s a hunnerd “
This is fantastic footage showing the power of those winds, thanks for sharing it with the world and I hope a year later you've got all your damage fixed and things are back to normal for you. Its pretty wild to see a storm the size of a hurricane, with wind power equal to a hurricane, in the middle of the country like that.
It took a year yep! The new trees need a decade
Him: "that's a hundred."
Wind: "there's more where that came from."
I have been thru over 50 hurricanes, beginning with Dora.., and over the years I have looked out the window, as the house shaked, and seen some bad stuff, and this video is as bad as i have ever looked out at... Bad stuff, glad you made it, thank you for sharing, and i am binging too. I agree with Drea and the others...they are right, you got the worst,, i could feel the adrenaline
Insane, your videos show how relentless the winds were.
Never seen this one before. And damn man, you got balls of steel to be able to record this. Mad props for an incredible video.
Lol my spidy sense was on high alert but i felt safe enough
Great video and you all kept calm throughout the storm. I experienced hurricanes Andrew (Cat. 5) and Wilma (Cat. 3) in greater Miami, FL. There was a small airport with weather station two miles from mi home. In both hurricanes we experienced sustained winds of up to 120 mph and gusts close to 150 mph. Unfortunately these peak conditions lasted close to three hours in both storms. Impressive how powerful and intense the weather can be.
A lot can change in 2 miles, but OK, as long as it is recorded it is official.
It's a little windy
Another church in Marion also sustained damage from this storm. It was that big old brick one on 11th street and 8th Ave. Some of the stonework on top of It's tower/castle-like turret came loose and fell through the floors below it.
Im going to say, I drive a straight truck for a steel company and I drove into this in Valley NE. It only lasted about a half an hour, but it wasnt this bad. I Imagine once it got pass Omaha it got worse. We didnt have a lick of rain but just wind. I was at the Menards facility in Valley. My heart breaks for my comrades in Iowa. I literally drove right into when it was starting. Whats crazy is I volunteered to go to Valley to pick up something when I didnt have to. Im a local driver so been there many times. Couldnt open the door on my truck to get out.
Hats off to you for being brave enough to stand there and record this.
This is the best video of this derecho I have seen! You are freaking brave! !!!
It might be good to pull your car into the garage during something like that to protect it... as far as you can anyway, inch up the one inside already if it's already full and just tuck the windshield under
We had substantial damage in Illinois as well. Our entire fence collapsed and parts of our house's siding had been ripped off. One of our Bradford Pear trees suffered a major trauma and had to be dug out. The entire neighborhood suffered widespread tree damage too. I could hear the creaking of our house as the relentless winds kept pummeling. What an experience.
I didn't even know that these Types of storms even existed? Living here in Miami This looks like the typical cat 1 hurricane. All Tree and fence damage but very little structural damage. I'm glad this family was unhurt
Hope you had a cocktail in hand,I've would have 😩
I'd have been pounding brews for sure
No kidding.
I hope so, he certainly couldn’t hold a camera straight
I live in Florida and we have Hurricane parties. Although we have fair warning. These guys didn't know.
This footage is incredible
Yeah that was the longest derecho I have ever seen. Wow that was a dynamic storm in the midwest. Nature is on the war path. Nice video . Chicago had a small tornado that day also.
This is definitely THE dericho video amongst the others to watch! 47 years and I've never known or heard about a dericho! Frikken crazy!
The unbelievable power of nature is breathtaking!!!
im in des moines..at the end of the storm it looked like someone just threw salad all over my truck and house. they were just covered in green.
Brave people right here! I was in the same storm but on the Illinois side. I cannot imagine being anywhere near outside it was horrific!
I was at work when this went down in West Des Moines area....
My car out in the lot got a great car wash. No damages done to my car.
The parking lot was pretty clean!
I too live in Cedar Rapids, and this was the worst thing I ever experienced. Luckily, my house was left unscathed.
When this kind of weather happens, instead of standing around saying, 'oh my god,' go get a beer, pull a lawn chair and enjoy the show.
I actually saw that during the last hurricane, he said (in his lawnchair) he was fed up with 2020 !!
bro this storm destroyed houses everywhere. You don't get to pull up a lawn chair with a beer and enjoy this kind of storm. You worry for your life and your home, shut up lmao.
@@jck1794 Exactly. Anyone raised in the Midwest knows to pay attention to Ma Nature.
@@jck1794 you must be fun at parties.
@@jck1794 We party in Florida during hurricanes whenever we get them. We prepare and then wait it out. Not much else you can do. If your house gets destroyed then oh well, it's not like you can pick it up and move it.
My first car was a Pontiac Vibe. I was definitely rooting for it throughout the video!!
Lol thx for the comment hilarious
Thank you much for sharing this. This was seriously scary.
Wow I hope everyone is ok, that was so intense and extremely nerve wracking to watch! Very scary storm for sure! May god help everyone in need, that has been effected by the storm!
Thats 100. Now imagine 300MPH in the Moore, Ok tornado. No way anyone in the path is going to survive.
This video only shows about 75 MPH wind gusts AT MOST
The number of people tantruming in the comments over the fact your car is not in the garage is comedy. Still one of the best videos, man!
Wow! Great vid! I live in oklahoma and we get these sometimes. Glad your safe. Again, great job with the vid
Ive rode out many hurricanes and I can tell you now that this derecho is very close to acting like one.
This was like the eye wall event part of a hurricane
Wow, amazing footage , hope you all were okay!
Yes, thank you
Also mad props to you filming from your garage. I wanted no business being outside during this. Outstanding footage
TY
I live in Tama with a west facing 2nd floor apartment and watched it all come at me. It was the first time in my 50 years on this planet that I took cover in fear of my life. It was terrifying and amazing at the same time
The key thing is it lasted for so long!! Usually a squall line moves thru with gusty winds for 10-15 minutes wheras very high winds lasted for over 30 minutes here. 90% tree damage 10% structural.
It just didn't quit! I've never experienced anything like. Took a drive through the Clarence area. There are no words. The damage to structures, trees and crops is truly heartbreaking. And most of the state looks just like it.
This wasn't a squall line, this was a derecho. There's a difference.
This is probably the most intense footage of this storm that I’ve seen
Wow Church roof get shredded, but that garbage can behind your Pontiac holds steady in 100 mph winds y’all must be proud 🤩👍, dam good video guys thanks
thank you
That is a great video. I love storms and that must have been amazing to watch in person !! 5 stars !! 🌟
Yes it was hypnotizing!
This is easily one of the top 3 or 4 videos from the derecho and is on par with something you'd see in the eyewall of a major hurricane with multiple gusts over 100mph and perhaps even periods of sustained winds that high??? Risky business but well done.
A derecho is a land hurricane
Sarah Elizabeth it’s actually not and I wish media would quit saying it was. Damage wise? This particular derecho is equivalent to a hurricane, but there’s no relation beyond that. Loads of issues arise when the expectation becomes derechos are land hurricanes, so the media is doing forecasters and meteorologists a huge disservice, go figure lol.
This video was only about 60-75 mph wind gusts, Atkins, IA got a peak gust of 126 mph. Although Cedar rapids did have a report of a recorded gust of 112 mph, and a peak sustained wind speed of 99 mph (Category 2 hurricane) Most of cedar rapids had sustained winds of 60-80 mph, with gusts 70-90 mph (Tropical storm force- Category 1 force winds) This clip is tropical storm force, sustained around 40-50 mph with gusts as high as 70 mph
Pennsylvania is not adapted to strong winds, I live right at the base of Archbald Mt., and I've seen trees snap 7" in diameter at as low as 30 mph gusts, during low pressure systems, and the strongest wind gust ever recorded in Pennsylvania was only 81 mph, and 72 mph in Clarks summit. If there was ever wind gusts above 100 mph, most roofs and trees would be gone. Although there have been microbursts and tornadoes, strongest tornado ever within 20 miles of my location was an ef2, and strongest microburst had an estimated wind speed of 120 mph, although I don't count the microburst, because the winds were not recorded, even though every tree in the path of it was snaped, not one survived.

I went through Hurricane Irma. This derecho is actually worse. 😵
where did you ride irma out because i can tell you what the winds you got were.
Assuming you are saying this you obviously dont live in Southwest Florida, because hurricane irma destroys this derecho in that, and you dont live in the carribean, because the sustained winds were twice that of the derecho, so either you live in Central-North Florida, Somewhere on the east coast, or out of Florida.
This video only had gusts of 75 mph at MOST
0:52 The wheelie bin wind tunnel test
This is the best footage of the hurricane I've seen. WOW!! Intense!!
I think so too!
it seems like the wind is not on the ground level as much--the trash can is sitting next to the house, the branches once lying on the ground don't blow around. What a strange storm!
Is that River of Life Church that lost its roof?
Yes.
I heard winds got up to 120+ mph that's insane. I know a thing or two about severe storms. Living in DFW my whole life. But we haven't even had storms to this magnitude. Hope this doesn't become normalcy. Prayers!!

Went through a storm 5 times like this in Charlotte NC. Wind tore everything it touch until done.

Hey 👋 there have you ever seen a tornado 🌪 in person I’m just wondering ok 👌 dude lol 😂. Stay safe out there during the COVID-19
Ok dude.
Reminds me of standing on the front porch of my mom's house back in Mobile, AL during Hurricane Katrina. Very similar ferocity!
Holy hell. The energy from this storm was absolutely terrifying... those are some of the strongest trees i have ever seen....WOW!!! Back in 2011 nov 30th we had a windstorm in pasadena calif just like this one absent the rain.. those winds came down the side of the san gabriel mountains at over a 100 mph...had never seen anything like it ..this storm on this video is amazing..
Were they recorded, estimated, or provided by a weather app
@@jj2.047 what are you u reffering to..the wlndstorm in pasadena?
@@ccarta192 Yeah
@@ccarta192 People say that this derecho had 140 mph winds, which it didn't the strongest gust recorded was 126 mph in Atkins, and strongest gust recorded in Cedar Rapids was 112 mph. Everyone goes based off the estimate which Is 140 mph, which I think is BS, the building code is only 110 mph, there would have been more structural damage, and every tree would have been wiped out, there was a microburst that was estimated at 120 mph on May 15, 2018 and it snapped every tree in its path, it was estimated at 120 mph, and their wind estimated are usually 10-20% higher than actual wind speeds. Making it 96-108 Mph.
Don’t open your garage at this time it’s really dangerous ✊
So is it an Iowa thing not to take cover unless you actually see a funnel cloud? Just plain old wonderful wind doesn't count?? I've been in a hurricane..and watching it from the garage wasn't an option.
The winds, although high, still weren't much more than a Cat. 2 (bordering on Cat. 3) hurricane ... about 110mph/177kph
They also didn't have the luxury of 5 days notice, and no storm surge to worry about.
We do the same thing in Kansas.
I’m from Ohio!! Have never even heard of a derecho until this happened. I would have been in the garage as well!! If they would have said it was a tornado, I wait to see a funnel cloud coming first (if it’s daytime) & then take cover. I’m a big fan of storms, however. Probably because I’ve never suffered through any real damage or loss due to one, either. These vids are great.

Amazing ! And so sustained. Heard you ask how long is this going to go on. Makes you understand and feel more empathetic to hurricane victims, doesn't it ?! - Council Blfs.
Hey The Solheim's From Cedar Rapids, IA, do you have an email address at which we could contact you regarding this video? We would be interested to discuss a license to use this video if this is generally possible? (i.e. via email) :) Cheers, Felix
Yeah maybe unless u are goin to bash me for having my car outside n the garage door open lol
@@jasolhe I think it was clever actually...imagine a tree falling onto the garage and destroying the car inside, better leaving it outside and split your assets🤔
@@MonthlyFails i can call u or email u where find that info
@@jasolhe my email is on my channel's about section :)
Good heavens. After the third or fourth, or tenth, or thirtieth remark about the car outside 😳 I mean, really??
YOU get to sit in the safety of your own home and watch what happens in a rare weather phenomenon and all you can think to do is criticize and second-guess the person who lived through it AND recorded and shared said video for YOU to experience - from the safety of your own home. It is one thing to politely ask a question but sheeesh! read down into the comments a bit and see if it has been answered already
and you don't have to be a jerk about it. smh

There are T-shirts that say "City of 5 trees Left"
Maybe they're using the garage for storage- we don't know because they don't show the inside of the garage. UA-cam comments.... What're you gonna do?
as a fellow 2-tone silver/gray Vibe owner, all I can think is "bring the Vibe in".... "Bring the Vibe in".... "BRING THE VIBE IN!"... glad you all are OK. We had one go through southern IL a number of years ago. I live about half an hour south of where the worst of it was, but it still tore up a lot in our community. Watched it from the front door of the music instrument store I owned on our main street, which was pretty unnerving, considering the front of the store was floor-to-ceiling glass. Had to lock the front door, it kept blowing it open. There are videos here on youtube of it hitting Carbondale and Marion, IL, which are just north of me, and where the worst of it hit. I had never heard of a Derecho before that day. I don't think I'll soon forget what it is, though.
Vibe unharmed! Haha
