Well I never expected this video to get as much reach and views as it has so I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to watch and comment and share this experience. I would like to plug my landscape photography here quick. I am a full-time landscape photographer and if that is something you like, please check out my Instagram instagram.com/joryvgphoto/ or my website joryvandergalien.com/ My plan was to always make UA-cam channel about photography and that is coming for sure but this weather event was an experience I will never forget so I had a make this video and share it. Again, thank you for supporting this video, more photography content coming soon. Cheers Jory
This storm was like no other for us. Trees everywhere were torn to pieces, and power out (for me anyway) for four days in 95-100 degree heat with matching humidity. Some STILL don't have power and may have to wait another 2-3 days. A fallen tree hit my house & did extensive damage. Luckily no one died.
So one thing that I think really saved many Omaha neighborhoods is the huge trees. I really believe were it not for the big huge trees we would have seen much more structural damage
We’re severe weather weary at this point here in Eastern Nebraska. My hometown, Omaha, takes another hit. We weren’t spared here in Lincoln. 92 mph knocked many of us offline and clean up continues. Hope everyone’s power has been restored. Excellent footage btw. Stay safe everyone!
This is really a good video.... no real talking and you kept us focused, not spinning the camera all around I tell you I can't believe that tree on the left and the tree on the right did not go down! I was glad you kept going back and forth because I thought for sure the one on the left was going.... those are some tough trees
I find it very sad to see those beautiful trees damaged and destroyed. I see that the kids loved the adventure of it all, as I did at that age. As you grow up you appreciate your environment, and mourn when what is safe and familiar is taken away. Very pleased that all of you are safe.
We had a whole house full of family with small kids for a small family gathering. The kids thought it was great. I’m the storm guy of the family so if everyone took comfort that I was ok on the porch (mostly due in part per the direction of the wind) but if they saw I was panicked or run to the basement then they knew we were in real trouble. There was a few hair raising moments however when the bursts of wind came as there was a sort of suction like a vacuum in the spot. Over all the kids loved it and the family was ok. Omaha however was not spared the wrath of this storm. Omaha has a huge urban tree canopy. I firmly believe that tree canopy is what spared a lot of structural damage. The trees took the abuse of this wind storm and yes it was a pretty significant loss.
This wind storm was terrifying. Somehow managed to keep my power, but everyone around was out. A few trees in front of my apartment lost some limbs, but none completely came down.
Thank you for being brave/stupid enough to record this, I was in my basement shitting myself. (traumatized from the April 26th tornado in Elkhorn this year)
I got off work right when this hit. I drove to lowes to seek shelter and opened my car door but it was held open by the wind and I could barely close it. I decided to stay in the car until it "blew over" but then they announced a tornado warning. I knew I couldn't walk to the entrance from my parking spot so I parked in a loading zone and was able to take shelter inside lowes thankfully. Later had to remove my tree and there was no power for five days.
I was in this. My friends truck got TOTALED by their tree falling on it. This was purely devastating. Our power didn't come on till 2 am the next morning. I'm really blessed that we didn't have a power outage like some other families did. Prayers for all.
This windstorm was terrible, out here in Millard. We were hit HARD I've seen about 10-20 trees uprooted, our fence has 2 ENTIRE sides down, many branches down, a lot ended up in our pool, luckily the pool didn't break but it was just crazy
All I was expecting on that day was a little bit of rain and nothing too crazy but I was wrong by far. I looked out my window and heard a little bit of thunder so I went to one of the lowest floors in my house and was sitting on my couch until I got a severe thunderstorm warning. When I got that severe thunderstorm warning, I knew that the severe storm was approaching. I thought I had heard a little bit of hail at times, but there was 2 times that lightning struck close to my house. One made the back door shake and the house shake, and the other one had struck right next to my neighbors house. I got sent footage of the lightning striking right next to my neighbors house and I saw that the grass was on fire for a second, and when the lightning struck, it covered the whole camera white for a second. The sky got green and foggy so I kept worrying more than I did during the April 26th tornado. This severe thunderstorm was probably more dangerous than the April 26th tornado. I still remember that this severe thunderstorm had hurricane winds. At first my phone said it was 80mph winds but it then got up to 100mph. I have big trees behind my backyard and they survived that storm. I think a few branches fell off the trees. Also, my lights only flickered and I didn’t lose my power. I remember I was in school until 4:00 or 5:00 for the April tornado, one of the lights went out in my school. Otherwise, the lights at my school and my house were flickering from hail or wind. But this storm was no joke!
You’re exactly right Kim. The whole family was watching me actually. I’m the storm guy of the family and if I showed panic or thought there was an imminent threat then everyone would have panicked. So I kept it cool and the kids as a result were having fun. Thank you
That day was insanity. I felt real bad for you guys cause this hit just after you were able to process what happened in April. I remember it blowing through Omaha and thinking "KC is fine", but then a few hours later, I found myself spotting our very own destructive line of storms. Exploding powerlines dotted the horizon like paparazzi at times.
a bit late but people this is why it is the MOST important thing to make sure you have home owners or renters insurance on your property and quarterly take pictures of everything inside and out. i would hate to see a working american or retired lose everything without support. BUT be certain the policy includes act of nature clauses, a lot will say full covered but does not include tornados, hurricanes and major storms.
Mother nature was cleaning house. She was throwing things in all directions. But, wow you guys have beautiful trees there. I hope there wasn't too much damage to your property. (Ohiio)
Those straight line winds can be scary. I had part of my big tree in the back fell on my house. It crashed into my bedroom and bathroom 😢 I wasn't home at the time. I had just paid my house off a few months earlier 😢
You’re right… I think the only other storms that would top this one would be the 1976 tornado that literally went up 72nd street and the far western Omaha/Elkhorn tornado this spring. But this was so wildly different. I’ll never forget the sounds of those winds in the upper atmosphere. Pure power!
Wow, this is reminiscent of hurricanes. I would want to film something like this since I am like a storm chaser. hopefully no one got hurt and the damages wasnt too hard to fix.
It could be worse i live in houston where we get hurricanes last months hurricane damaged my roof not sure if it will ever get fixed and i had no power for 5 days the heat wasn't fun and very humid.
2% tornado risk 50 or fewer miles from your standing in and within the range of the highest severe risks and you only get 0.20 chance of your neighborhood getting an ef0 and 0.05 for each of the ratings and almost no risk of ef5 Nader and 0.15 if your neighborhood gets right in the middle of a Nader.
It wasn't that bad here in Lincoln, tho there was a lot of tree damage, but not structural. Houses with dented roof's and sone power outages, but that's about it. The highest wind gust I saw was 49 MPH at UNL out in a field, but 83 at the airport. Thankfully we got by here pretty well.
Great video! Hopefully, you and your surrounding people aren't having to fix/spend too much. It's crazy how all it takes is one storm to alter your environment you've known for so long.
That is so so so true. We just drove in with my wife and kids from New Mexico to visit my sisters in Omaha with so many plans but literally as soon as we were getting into town, the storm was barreling down on us. We didn’t even have proper hugs and greetings yet and the storm hit. So yes all of our plans changed in an instant. All 3 of my sisters didn’t have power for 5 days but my sister who’s house this video was made at just got power today! It was a great coming together time as well as high stress. A storm we’ll all soon never forget
You know, we see videos of bad weather all the time right and you think it will never happen to me?!?! Then it happens and you just stand back and are in awe of the power of wind and everything else that comes with a destructive storm. Pure power!
I freaking love storms 🤯 I just hope you were ok😮 make the video I uploaded of the 2023 storm we had look puny😮 I'm so sorry for the damage you were given. My prayers to you and your family ❤ from California
@@joryvgphoto I can see where you are coming from, though I would probably dub it as a derecho in my opinion, since hurricanes are a bit more strong and usually last way longer, though those amount of winds are stronger than a tropical storm and a tropical depression, a category 1 could be weaker than these winds as well.
@@Roblocksgaming The only reason why it wasn't classified as a derecho is because the storm was not hundreds of miles in duration. Otherwise I would completely agree.
i feel for you guys. I live in Iowa and when we had our derecho back in 2020, the winds reached 130 mph with possible higher gusts. And the storm stalled right over our city and seemed like it lasted for an hour. Crazy to think a thunderstorm could produce winds like this.
I remember that! I was in Omaha at the time. Even though the line of storms were 25 or so miles north, we still got a good wind that knocked a lot of limbs down.
Je m'en rappelle le 22 juin 2023 j'avais une tempete les vent atteignait les 45mph et 130km/h j'avais beaucoup eu peur pourtant il yavait l'orage de grêle et de la grêle c'était la tempete la plus forte de mon pays
220,000 homes without power houston texas has that beat last month there was over 1.5 million homes with no power some areas had no power for 2 to 3 weeks even a walgreens near me was looted.
That wind sounds like a jet engine i would have got in the hallway my neighbor had a tree crash through there roof did all kinds of damage and still nothing from there insurance that was back in may that's why i cut my back tree down.
Dude, every time you start "yelling" you "spoil the moment" for us. We don't need an interpretation of what we can (already) see and hear. Thumbs down for spoiling the moment. The video was great but ruined by your emotional outbursts. Think about that next time you make a video about storms.

Wow !!!! Thank goodness that All of you are safe
Thank you... it was quite a ride but we made it through

Wow great story. The most important thing is you’re ok. Yes we had no power for 5 days too. Probably the worst storm I have ever experienced
Thanks for posting this. Hope you and all your neighbors are doing alright.
Thank you. All is well. All got power after 5 days. Clean up is about complete. Thank you!🙏🏼
I was in this. My friends truck got TOTALED by their tree falling on it. This was purely devastating. Our power didn't come on till 2 am the next morning. I'm really blessed that we didn't have a power outage like some other families did. Prayers for all.
Glad no one was in that truck. We all didn’t get power the following Monday. It was miserable hot and muggy.
Over 200 thousand without power crazy thank God it's over but wat a thing to remember
By far the worst storm I have ever experienced.
This windstorm was terrible, out here in Millard. We were hit HARD I've seen about 10-20 trees uprooted, our fence has 2 ENTIRE sides down, many branches down, a lot ended up in our pool, luckily the pool didn't break but it was just crazy
Felt like Millard was definitely hit the hardest compared to other areas I was around.
@@creamgravy1 My aunt lives in Millard and they got hit pretty hard for sure
Wow 😳😳 this is a scary video, I am so glad that no one was hurt.thank God no one was hurt.this storm is very very severe..❤
This storm was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. The worst ever. Thank you. We are all ok thank God
Wow….intense. Nature showing off! 😮
That is for sure
The sound of the wind up at higher levels is WILD!! ⛈️🌬️
Absolutely wild is right
If you're talking about the first few hundred feet above you, then holy cow. In person it sounds robotic but very eerie
Yes that's what I meant by higher levels 11:16,not so high that you can't hear it from ground level@@lifeintornadoalley
Yes the sound of the wind above was so eerie. I will never forget that sound

It sure was a crazy storm
Wow!!! Great video. Norfolk was supposed to get what Omaha got, but it missed us.
No one expected such a storm. It’s like I all came together between Lincoln and Omaha then a direct hit on Omaha. One storm I’ll soon not forget!
a bit late but people this is why it is the MOST important thing to make sure you have home owners or renters insurance on your property and quarterly take pictures of everything inside and out. i would hate to see a working american or retired lose everything without support.

I live in Lincoln. Craziest storm I’ve ever been in. Had some damage to my fence and knocked out power for 5 days and internet for 8.
Ya Lincoln is where this storm really started winding up. The most important part is you’re all safe!
This reminds me of that Episode of Rosanne were a tornado blows in. I think the episode is called Tornado
Hehehe I’ve never seen that one. I’ll have to watch it
That was fun😊 again again again again again again the except not where you at but in my area😊
Watching this video i hope everyone safe during this strom God Bless
Yes we were and are all safe. Thank you. It was a storm none of us will soon forget.
Mother nature was cleaning house. She was throwing things in all directions. But, wow you guys have beautiful trees there. I hope there wasn't too much damage to your property. (Ohiio)
Thank you and the urban tree canopy took quite a hit.
@@joryvgphoto At least you came out with your lives. It takes years for some trees to reach their full potential. God bless, and take care.
@@cherylebbing199 Thank you and yes those trees will likely take a generation to recover
I was out till passed midnight helping neiborhood clean up
My brother in law was too. Neighborhoods really came together for sure
Experiencing those winds from my third floor apartment was wild. There were times when it sounded like the roof was gonna go lol
Those straight line winds can be scary. I had part of my big tree in the back fell on my house. It crashed into my bedroom and bathroom 😢 I wasn't home at the time. I had just paid my house off a few months earlier 😢
Wow, that was insane!!!
It was truly insane. One of the biggest storms I have experienced in my lifetime.
It sucks that people have to clean up the damage and all😢
This storm will go down in history omaha
You’re right… I think the only other storms that would top this one would be the 1976 tornado that literally went up 72nd street and the far western Omaha/Elkhorn tornado this spring. But this was so wildly different. I’ll never forget the sounds of those winds in the upper atmosphere. Pure power!
4:04 lol! I was perfectly safe outside in a major weather event with lightning, damaging winds and lethal debris 😂😂
At any point I felt I was in imminent danger I would have taken the appropriate course of action. But yes I added that as a comic relief. Thank you!
@@joryvgphoto haha! No Im the same way as you , I think I found it funnier because That would have been my answer also
Great minds think alike!
@@joryvgphoto no doubt! 🤘
One of those trees that got "shredded", was a weeping willow. Won't be easy for a company to cut up and clear that out.
Agreed
Wow, this is reminiscent of hurricanes. I would want to film something like this since I am like a storm chaser. hopefully no one got hurt and the damages wasnt too hard to fix.
No hating here, but how the heck do you guys live in these places where tornados spawn everywhere?
It's not that bad!!
Same way Californians live with mudslides, earthquakes, floods, etc. It's not constant and you get used to it.
It could be worse i live in houston where we get hurricanes last months hurricane damaged my roof not sure if it will ever get fixed and i had no power for 5 days the heat wasn't fun and very humid.

Its definitely a tornado 0:59 😂❤

Every time I watch this video I chuckle too. Thank you ☺️
Yall sure that wasnt a Tornado?!😮🤔
No... just the storm of the century with 100+ mph winds that lasted for 30-45 mins
We need the rain but we don't need all this crap. 😢
Completely agree
Now we seriously need rain
I like this kind of weather but this is really intense 😮
Yup... I love storms too
I live in Florida so I have seen this, but we call this a Cat 2.
Hehehe yes so true. Some have dubbed this as the Omaha hurricane.
Yeah, almost was as strong as Hurricane Helene, which on its own is already very crazy.

We had no power for 5 full days. And it was hot and muggy the whole time. Quite miserable actually!
You know there are statistics regarding persons struck by lightning annually, yeah?
Yup and….
Thank God ya all didn't loose the house,but sad over short time lose of the trees.
Agree completely
220,000 homes without power houston texas has that beat last month there was over 1.5 million homes with no power some areas had no power for 2 to 3 weeks even a walgreens near me was looted.
Isso é assustador tenho pânico de temporal 😢😢😢😢

Looks like our area did after the 2012 Derecho in Ohio.
We had one of them in houston damage my roof then last month a hurricane hit houston texas and did even more damage.
I see that mailbox okay😊
