Deer droppings were longer and skinnier, and bear droppings have bells in them.

    One of the scariest moments in my life was driving from Houston to San Antonio. It was completely dry when it suddenly started to pour. Within minutes the water rose to the point that the water was up to the bottom of my trucks door. It's completely flat with no high ground not even an overpass. There was no where to go and water was rising fast. I could feel the water starting to push my truck sideways. I had no idea what to do and suddenly just as fast as it started the rain stopped. All this happened in a span of ten minutes or so and was terrifying. Texas floods are not to be messed with! Congrats on making it on to The BBC!

    @karenpinson759 3 роки тому +7

    Congratulations on your stint on TV. That weather you witnessed is called a micro burst where suddenly severe weather with high winds, rain, hail, and sometimes snow (in upper elevations) may suddenly occur for a short period of time and then just as suddenly disappear. It has to do with a sudden down draft of cooler air hitting a warmer area which has a lot of moisture in cloud cover. I am originally from Virginia and have seen this happen quite often. It can take down trees, rip off roofs, and overturn large trucks, and be quite dangerous; and sometimes a microburst can lead to the development of a tornado. When I was a teenager, a microburst hit my grandmother's hometown in Princeton, North Carolina, where I stood on the veranda and watched the hail come down in the middle of summer and the winds rip off the neighbor's roof. So glad you and your wife were safe. If you had been walking down the road when it hit, you could have been seriously injured by the hail and blowing debris. Loved the gorgeous shots around Cambridge. The canals and parks are stunning.

    Those gorgeous trees in the park are called weeping willow trees. They are not tropical, but they are usually planted in areas where there are good sized water sources. If you mistakenly plant them near water lines, the roots will invade the pipes in search of water and make a big mess. They are relatively hardy trees and can survive winter cold and snow. When I was growing up we had two weeping willows at the back of our backyard field. The hanging branches at Cambridge were trimmed at the bottom probably to allow for a lawn mower to get easily underneath the trees. The trees in our yard would hang down to the ground. As a child I would sit under one of the trees and read and be totally enclosed by the leafy branches. I loved my private hiding place.

    That was another great video, Shaun. Congratulations on the National news. That hail storm was crazy! I'm glad you & your wife got through that storm safely! The park areas nearby Cambridge were so beautiful! And it is always fun to see you open packages. Looking forward to hearing the latest news from you in the next video!! 👍

    Very cool that guy from Smyrna, TN sent you some proper Nashville treats looks like as those are all very native to here to TN (Tennessee).
    I don't live far from Smyrna (pronounced Smerna) either lol
    Thanks for the great vid! Always look forward to more with your stuff 😁

    Thank you for your videos. I've been enjoying them so much, especially the ones in which you've returned to the roots of your original dream for these. There's something about the beauty, adventure and humor that makes me smile the whole time I'm watching them. Again, thank you.

    Congratulations on the television appearance. So excited for you. The storm you experienced is a common spring/summer storm for us Kansans. What is scary is when you are sitting in your vehicle and the hail just keeps getting bigger and bigger until your windshield finally cracks! You are right in that that type of weather is common with tornados. Thankfully you didn't have one of those. The trees you asked about are weeping willows. They are common in Kansas around ponds and lakes as they require lots of water. They are weak though and their branches tend to break during high winds. We have lost a couple of them around our pond. Look forward to hearing your good news. Many blessings to you and Tekka.

I look forward to your taste testing video. Finally, what a fantastic thing of being chosen to appear on the BBC morning show! Keep smiling, my friend! Maryanne from Las Vegas.

    Adventure Everything! Storms like that are fairly common, even without an accompanying tornado, in the midwest and southeast U.S. Invigorating!! How amazing you were featured on the BBC. Is this the new normal for the South of England? I wonder.
    Those seem to be Weeping Willows. Great climbing trees when you're a kid. No one can see you! I sprained an ankle or two jumping from our neighborhood Willows!
    The candies you received also appear to be traditional old fashioned favorites over here. What a cool thing that he gathered those all up for you! Moon Pies also come in yellow - banana flavor - that is just sickening - but we loved them!
    Great vid! Thank you!

    That storm, wind and hail is very familiar here in coastal Australia (I'm 23km NW of Sydney). Hail here often blankets the ground like snow and inches think, also is often the size of golf balls and up to 4"/10cm in size, even in Sydney. Great video, Sean. I love weeping willows, we have them here by our water-ways, too. I love the one of your your new home town and flat. Beautiful to live by the sea. Pity you couldn't move in by the sumner just gone but something to look forward to next year. Suffering Droughtlander even longer this time around 😔 All the best, mate and looking forward to autumn and winter videos around beautiful Scotland. Be well 👍

    Fabulous video Shaun. I'm so glad I found your channel. Congratulations on your national coverage! We had a whopper blow through here in Burlington, Iowa (Southeast Iowa) not too long ago as well, it whipped up just as quick and furious as yours, but it's more common here as you mentioned. I ♥ that you and your woman travel so many places and share them with us all. Me and my man really want to visit the UK when all is back to normal. So beautiful there. Cambridge. Wow. Those weeping willow trees (the ones with the hanging leaves) are so gorgeous. If you've ever been to Louisiana, you'd also see Spanish moss hanging down from trees, which gives off the same kind of vibe. Please put out a mailing address so we can all send you and yours some little gifities. Keep up the fabulous vlog! You're only 1 of 4 that we truly watch on a constant, loyal basis. ☺

    Wild storm. Such fierce hail storms do happen, but they are fairly rare here in Northern California. The Cambridge park shots were just beautiful. Congrats on the Morning show coverage! It is funny that even though the U.S. is huge, and there are many regional treats, I totally knew about (and love) those confections from your viewer in Tennessee. They are mouth watering and I'm looking forward to see what you think of their tasty flavors on a future show.

    Weeping Willows! We had them when I was growing up in southern Quebec, Canada. We were not allowed to plant them near homes/buildings because their roots make holes in pipes. So it's best to have them near rivers or big creeks which they love. Such Beautiful trees! I love them, they do feel magical.
    Also, LOVE your videos and your Instagram. Sending love from the middle-ish of Canada!

Just an FYI) And the gentleman who sent you that goodie box, sent you all the best southern sweets. Mmmmmmmm now you just need a can of RC Cola to wash it all down with. Have a great day!!

    Thant was a great video. We have lots of hailstorms here in Texas. I am also intrigued by the fact that morning TV is so popular in the U. K. Here in The States, the network morning shows struggle for viewers. For example, A B C affiliates do not get paid for carrying Good Morning America like they do for evening programming.

  • @StMyles

    The storm you were in is called a Micro Cell which occurs usually prior to tornados in the US. There is history of re-current Tornados in Scotland. I’m kind of surprised you are unaware of them (Micro Cells). Great that BBC caught sight of your post and showed you during their morning show. Overall glad you made it safely to home. The steers you saw hopefully are for consumables, lots of grade A beef 🥩 there eating that grass. Willow trees are also good for making home remedies for fever and pain meds. This was actually very fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
