  • July 15, 2024 storm chase of the derecho that went through Northern Illinois. Videos are all taken along IL Rt 72 from Davis Junction eastward to Genoa, IL. Saw 2 probable funnels however i could not confirm any definite touchdowns....pending NWS surveys.

    This was great! That was one awesome laminar shelf cloud the derecho sported. The inflow notch is very visible as well!

      Looking at a map, i was mainly parked on Moulton Rd, however you may have seen me driving around trying to find a decent view where the corn wasn't a mile high.

      That was a beast of a storm. Thankfully the tornadoes it dropped were on the lower end strength wise.

    This was one of those derecho storms that guaranteed that if you thought you saw a funnel cloud, you did see a funnel cloud, & most of them also touched down. A tornado came through my town but I had advance warning while watching Max Velocity here on YT. It was late evening by the time my area got hit so most storm chasers had stopped chasing for the night because it was too dark to video. I’m glad you posted this footage, because I had repeatedly searched YT for videos immediately afterward, but found very little info.

      Thank you. i was a bit surprised by the lack of other chasers out that evening. Granted it was nice in a sence that every country road wasn't like rush hour traffic like it can be when every weather enthusiast with a radar app is out chasing. The amount of areas of rotation within this line of storms was very impressive! Its not too uncommon to have a handful of QLCS rotations / tornadoes with a line like this but not like Monday was. It was pretty impressive visually when i was out in front of the storm, you could visually look up and down the line and see all the inflow knotch kinks in the line associated with the rotations. My only complaint was not having a camera that does better low light video along with the auto-focus never seeming to focus like it should. Next years bucket list...newer and better camera!
