It's so eerie that after the sirens stop, you can tell many the birds have started to move away even after they're no longer blaring. They didn't just go quiet - they started getting *distant*.
Tornado sirens are one of the scariest sounds. I grew up in Dixie Alley and lived through the Tuscaloosa tornado in 2011. When you hear that sound, you know something bad is coming.
We live in Hoover, close to the Shelby Co. line, headed towards Bessemer. We sat there helplessly waiting to see if family in Tuscaloosa and North of Birmingham lived through the tornado. It was terrifying.
@@m3htt the highest gust was 112, 140 was both an estimate and at an altitude of 5000 feet. Also the 112 gust was in cedar rapids, and this wasnt at the peak of the storm. Yeah I went through tropical storm eta in 2020 and it was stronger than the footage. Not as strong as the derecho in cedar rapids for example but stronger than the video.

I am from Ohio and Tennessee I have been through a double Tornado.... You feel. it before it happens, at least I do... the pressure drops, then suddenly no sound everything stops and then.... it hits..... I will never forget my experience 4 girls out for a dance in the country... we saw the funnels two one on one side then another.... we started out in Clyde Ohio and ended up on Castalia! Trees and electric wires came down in back of our car... you cannot out run them they turn... alive to tell the story!!! ❤️
That's really similar to the Dodge City siren.... here's a good example; ua-cam.com/video/XLJYg9GBd2E/v-deo.html about a minute and a half in is where it gets real creepy. (though I wouldn't skip a single second, Hank is a wonderful videographer with a soothing voice)
I applaud your city for sounding the alarms early enough giving people the time to get to safety. Most don’t go off u til maybe a 30 seconds before something hits.
2020 has not been kind. I didn't even know a Derecho existed and I've been following weather for 20 years. Those sirens make it worse. It's a terrifying sound.
Me either. Similar to my feeling when we first heard about polar vortex in the winter here in Ohio. Crazy weather terms I had never heard before experiencing.
Yeah I witnessed it. I knew it was going to be something horrible even though we really had no warning, just by how dark and eerie it was just beforehand. It got so dark that my outdoor lights turned on
Watching this brings back painful memories of when I was in a tornado. Don’t become complacent like I did. When you hear those sirens, get to a safe place ASAP.
May I ask how old you were ? I was 7 in elementary school - Pleasant Hill. Missouri have always hated storms . .... I always get that knot in my stomach when one of those long rolling thunders- that shake the house n rattles the windows happen !
Same, I'm from Oklahoma and spend a lot of time in Kansas and Missouri. Original tornado alley. This was a good spring storm. The sirens were Erie and bring back memories of past Oklahoma springs.
The garbage can held on to the very end, he was a kind & gentle trash can and he might of smelled a little bit but he stood strong to the very end! He might be sort of missed by the owners that own it and the community will always remember how it stood strong until Derecho shot him down! R.I.P my green old buddy, the next garbage can will take it from here, just a least you had some flowers next to you and may you go to the garbage can in the sky!
I live in the middle of NY state, far away from tornado country. My heart still leapt into my throat hearing those sirens. Nothing gives you chills like that sound!
Been hearing them couple times a year, sometimes your like, any moment my roof can go. Hearing the wind, and sometimes it s just high winds. But usely with any siren, there's gonna be down trees, power outages. It used to really scare me. We heard from two different sirens. Usely dark. No basement. Now , I watch on TV. If it shows one, and what direction. I'm headed the other way driving. You wouldn't believe the people driving. Get out of there.

Derechos are no joke... we had one hit my hometown of findlay Ohio on June 29 2012. Our skies turned a eerie green, Tornado sirens went off , everything went calm and 5 minutes later all hell broke loose! I've honestly never been so scared in my life. The storm left half our city without power for almost a week, trees were uprooted and laying across roads and on cars and houses. I hope I never have to live to see another one of those..
We had one go thru Maryland back in June of 2012 (What a way to start my retirement .... guess you could say it was a big blowout heh heh)....... the worst of it was after dark and I was fighting the water coming in under my front door ....... we had people who were without power for weeks ..... some communities going on 3 to 4 or more weeks because of where they were located ...... trees down everywhere taking down the power lines with them ..... people living in newer developments/communities with all of their electric, telephone and cable underground couldn't get it into their heads why their services were out because what was above ground that fed their communities were taken out by the storm. The only folks who stayed in service were those who had generators that fed off propane or gasoline, or if they were really lucky, natural gas. Edit - Or their own solar panels.

As bad as it was here, other parts of the state suffered much, much, more damage. This town, Ankeny was hit by a killer tornado back in '74. If you live through one you never forget the dreaded siren.
I live in Des Moines and My dad had a tree fall through his roof as a matter fact his roof just got put on yesterday. He still has the hole in his ceiling. Dealing with the insurance company is nuts!
Olivia Harris funny thing was I was not home when this happened. My daughter and I took a trip down to St Joseph, Missouri to visit a couple museums and find antique stores. It was a small thunderstorm down there
That's amazing! The air was more still than death; and then, it's like God pointed His blow-dryer straight at you! It's so surprising to see how much tall, slender planting survived.... 🌻🌻
If you want to hear what most sirens sound like you should listen to and watch Pecos Hank "CREEPY TORNADO SIREN - Dodge City Twin Tornadoes 5-24-16" At about 1:38 is where you hear what they sound like if you were actually outside in-person with them on. The other videos of sirens don't do them justice. There are so many sirens and they echo in the distance and they also turn so they have this very ethereal sound all around the area and I've always thought of them sounding like angels singing and warning us of danger coming.
Digtzy Dog You love tornadoes??!! Aren’t they dangerous?? I’m from the West Coast so we don’t have those sirens here, albeit, fire engine sirens, yes, due to all the fires 🔥 we have.
@@dectel257 Ever since I was little I wanted to be a tornado chaser... Don't get me wrong it's fear-based affection right... XD I have nightmares almost every day involving tornadoes in some form... Just yesterday I had a nightmare about having to get a bus of people into the crawlspace of a trailer as a tornado came straight at us. They are absolutely my worst fear, but I have always respected them and enjoyed watching videos of them ever since I was little.
I went almost a week without power because of this storm. A giant branch fell into my car and my neighbors tree fell into my back yard. I'll never forget watching my umbrella flying directly into the air. I'll also never forget my entire city being blackout dark with the rumble of generators. I hope your family and friends stayed safe.
Our Phoenix “monsoon” dust storms are a lot like that. You can stand outside and watch as this giant wall of brown/black dust approaches. When it gets to you roof tiles fly, patio furniture flies blocks, fences blow over and cars are damaged. It is a giant plot by the auto body, roofing and landscape industries.
I live in northern Arizona but I was in one of those monster dust storms one year I lived in Phoenix ! Still coughing up dust and ear wax is ugly brown ! I was raised in Bakersfield California and still walk funny from the earthquakes people think I am a little tipsy ! Hell maybe I am !
Blizzards are the same. Snowstorm is snow falling but blizzards can look like white, vertical sheets moving at you. You drive into it and you instantly can’t see the road and have zero sense of distance as you’re surrounded by white.
@@bettyhouk8727 I'm Up near you! The Monsoons we have had this past week has been insane! We've had flooding and power knocked out for 4 or more hours.. crazy!
Kid on the bus: Bus driver that was our stop, and you didn't stop- Bus driver: I know that darling, and I am trying to stop the bus to let you out, but the wind from the tornado is pushing us, see sweetie, tornado...
yes i remember it being beautiful outside then suddenly huge clouds appeared and I thought nothing of it until the wind really picked up. Me and and my family went swimming that same day because the sky was perfectly blue an hour afterwords.
Hello sir, I definitely had to stop & say, thank you for posting this classic video moment. I am glad you & yours were safely out of harms way. That is actually a very beautiful shot out front from your security camera, excellent position. I hope you have safer weather in this year. Please, stay well.
Hearing those sirens gets my fight or flight going. Reminds me of when I was 14, getting caught in the middle of a derecho heading home. I ran like hell for my friends house a street away and watched the storm blow over in her living room
It wasn't a good day for babies.. We had nests all over the place. One mom was sitting on a live baby on the ground and sadly her other baby laid dead about 10 feet away.. I was able to put the live one back in the nest (luckily it was still in the tree). Mom and dad watched the whole time and I saw mom in the nest later that night.. Wish I could have helped more though 😢
I don’t think I’ve ever been so focused on a garbage can in my life lol!
Yeah, but couldn't take my eyes off the tree, since it is a small one. I thought it might snap or blow over.
The sound of that wind was so eerie.

I know right?
Im wondering where i can buy the same. Lmao
It doesn't seem anyone else noticed this...always trust your senses. When the birds stop chirping you know sh**s about to go down.

They didn't. he forgot to bring his empty bin back in
In my neighborhood, two different companies pick up garbage. We're one of the last people left here who use the older company.
Actually what I was thinking😆
I think this must be a neighbor who was late bringing in his can after the pickup, or much earlier than most...got a few of those on my block!
I think everyone else had already brought in their garbage cans, and she was the one who had left hers on the street!
Outside of the extremely unnerving sirens, as someone from Florida, this just looks like a stormy late summer day.
The derecho still damaged Cedar Rapids badly, wrought some wild damage
It's estimated that Cedar Rapids, which received winds in excess of 120 mph for 40 minutes, lost 65% of its tree canopy to the derecho that day.

And yes I did go all out and google the first year of Oscar 😂😂😂
As bad as it was here, other parts of the state suffered much, much, more damage. This town, Ankeny was hit by a killer tornado back in '74. If you live through one you never forget the dreaded siren.
I live in Des Moines and My dad had a tree fall through his roof as a matter fact his roof just got put on yesterday. He still has the hole in his ceiling. Dealing with the insurance company is nuts!
I don't know why but i'm thinking of the calm part as the glow plugs on a diesel engine warming up, and the chaos is the engine started. 😂
I want a relationship as sturdy as that trash 🗑
Even though fall together like it but we stick together 🤣 ikr
Sturdy.
Exactly
1:17-ish RIP head phone users. I hope that school bus was done with it's route and was going back to the depot.
Bus should not have been on the road.
Erica Gardner where was it supposed to go? lmao the storm was abrupt and random. were they supposed to just teleport to safety?
The caboose I suppose!
I saw this comment at 1:13 thankfully
@@cashtwonine generally, evacuation is best... the driver would be safest to park and "abandon ship" so to speak.
When this happened I was Home Alone!!!! I was so scared
@Olivia Harris I was too..it was so scary and a loud roar..I felt the same way!
Olivia Harris funny thing was I was not home when this happened. My daughter and I took a trip down to St Joseph, Missouri to visit a couple museums and find antique stores. It was a small thunderstorm down there
I would have been underneath something in a corner! 😳. Do you have storm shelters!
@@margiepelcman9837 Most homes here have basements. I was in the safest room in the basement I could find..
margie pelcman, No just a basement
That's amazing! The air was more still than death; and then, it's like God pointed His blow-dryer straight at you! It's so surprising to see how much tall, slender planting survived.... 🌻🌻
These comments are hilarious. After I read your description I hit like before watching, love your sense of humor!
So, that’s a tornado siren. Unsettling sound. And the wind goes wild just like that.
If you want to hear what most sirens sound like you should listen to and watch Pecos Hank "CREEPY TORNADO SIREN - Dodge City Twin Tornadoes 5-24-16"
At about 1:38 is where you hear what they sound like if you were actually outside in-person with them on. The other videos of sirens don't do them justice. There are so many sirens and they echo in the distance and they also turn so they have this very ethereal sound all around the area and I've always thought of them sounding like angels singing and warning us of danger coming.
Digtzy Dog Okay, Check it out. Thank you!
Be safe.
@@dectel257 You too! I love tornadoes and the sirens so if you have any questions I live in Dixie alley and could answer them :D
Digtzy Dog You love tornadoes??!! Aren’t they dangerous?? I’m from the West Coast so we don’t have those sirens here, albeit, fire engine sirens, yes, due to all the fires 🔥 we have.
@@dectel257 Ever since I was little I wanted to be a tornado chaser... Don't get me wrong it's fear-based affection right... XD I have nightmares almost every day involving tornadoes in some form... Just yesterday I had a nightmare about having to get a bus of people into the crawlspace of a trailer as a tornado came straight at us. They are absolutely my worst fear, but I have always respected them and enjoyed watching videos of them ever since I was little.
I went almost a week without power because of this storm. A giant branch fell into my car and my neighbors tree fell into my back yard. I'll never forget watching my umbrella flying directly into the air. I'll also never forget my entire city being blackout dark with the rumble of generators. I hope your family and friends stayed safe.
Damn that siren sounds creepy as hell
the winds: FOIJWEoIJOIJOWEJGIOWEG
that one truck: FASS AS FRIK BOI
Wow! It knocked the trash can down. Mind you, it didn't move it after it blew over, but it knocked it down. Scary stuff!
You just know that poor lonely trashcan sitting out there at the end of the drive is going to get it. But you can't stop watching.
Our Phoenix “monsoon” dust storms are a lot like that. You can stand outside and watch as this giant wall of brown/black dust approaches. When it gets to you roof tiles fly, patio furniture flies blocks, fences blow over and cars are damaged. It is a giant plot by the auto body, roofing and landscape industries.
I live in northern Arizona but I was in one of those monster dust storms one year I lived in Phoenix ! Still coughing up dust and ear wax is ugly brown ! I was raised in Bakersfield California and still walk funny from the earthquakes people think I am a little tipsy ! Hell maybe I am !
@@bettyhouk8727 🤣🤣🤣
Blizzards are the same. Snowstorm is snow falling but blizzards can look like white, vertical sheets moving at you. You drive into it and you instantly can’t see the road and have zero sense of distance as you’re surrounded by white.
@@bettyhouk8727 lmao
@@bettyhouk8727 I'm Up near you! The Monsoons we have had this past week has been insane! We've had flooding and power knocked out for 4 or more hours.. crazy!
This is how a real life war of the worlds would start. Sirens, the smallest movement of a tree ....
King’s “The Langoliers”! Can’t pass a wind farm without thinking about that movie either!
That tall plant thing is so DAMN strong!
Seeing some of these weather videos make me understand why my mother told me I should be thankful I was born in southern California.
Quakes????❤
Oh yeah,god put Tornado sirens on this earth just to make my hair stand up.Better than anything on Halloween.
Kid on the bus: Bus driver that was our stop, and you didn't stop-
Bus driver: I know that darling, and I am trying to stop the bus to let you out, but the wind from the tornado is pushing us, see sweetie, tornado...
yes i remember it being beautiful outside then suddenly huge clouds appeared and I thought nothing of it until the wind really picked up. Me and and my family went swimming that same day because the sky was perfectly blue an hour afterwords.
I love how the bus and work truck just cruise through like nothings going on 🤣
Hello sir, I definitely had to stop & say, thank you for posting this classic video moment. I am glad you & yours were safely out of harms way. That is actually a very beautiful shot out front
from your security camera, excellent position. I hope you have safer weather in this year. Please, stay well.
Who here had this on their 2020 Apocalypse Bingo?
I've got asteroids and/or aliens on mine also, lol.
Katie Dwyer no 😖 just extreme blizzards on mine
I missed pseudo pandemic and this. Dang.
Lololo
Not me. I had return of the dinosaurs.
Outstanding footage. I jumped a bit (lot) when the sirens went off. Thanks for sharing this.
Mary Nichols lol. When I hear sirens I don’t flinch. But then I am into tornado sirens.
Not even 5 minutes to turn what seems like a calm, cloudy day into "all hell breaks loose" wow....
Scary.
That is a storm? At least you got some rain out of it. Here in Las Vegas, 75+ MPH winds, especially in the spring are part an parcel of life here.
So basically 9 minutes to watch a trash can fall over
Your description was funny and informative on how things went. I'm glad the sunflowers survived. Real suprised the can didn't go flying
The sunflowers got so big I watched people stop and take photos with them and their families on their walks. Can’t wait to grow more this year
Imagine being in those blue porta potties when you hear that siren go off. 🙃😅
Hearing those sirens gets my fight or flight going. Reminds me of when I was 14, getting caught in the middle of a derecho heading home. I ran like hell for my friends house a street away and watched the storm blow over in her living room
Wow, those sunflowers were standing their ground. They were determined to stay put. Must be all the love they feel there. ;)
School bully: You nothing but a garbage can.
After watching this video
Boy: Yes, yes I am.
30+ mph winds and yet the pinwheel on the lawn still refused to spin. That stake was strong af and is my new inspiration lmao
I'm still looking for the pin wheel. Lol
Tornado siren: blaring
Auto caption: [Music]
[Applause]
How quickly the storm arrived after the alert went off, was long and I imagine this was only the beginning, take care everyone
No, actually that was it. It was over really quickly.
Jeeze…..! That _SOUND_ was other worldly! _WHEW_ !! 💥
Sunflowers were like, "I have no idea what is happening.......!"
Oscar the Grouch is not going to like his house being moved around like this.
You should se Cedar Rapids hundred year old trees gone, 50ft silos caved in, we had 125mph winds near my house
@@OneBrokenEgg there weren't even winds recorded that high the highest record wind speed was 126 for cedar rapids
Daniel Martin you're right. Shes just tryna gain sympathy. Cedar rapids was just shy of 130MPH. Which was the highest recorded gust
@@gamingreposts6134 lmao they deleted their comment
I know, I live there. It was a deafening roar....😵
I remember 100 + mph winds when hurricanes hit Houston, only they blow like that for 5 to 6 hours nonstop...then, there is severe flooding!
Watched this on sweltering hot day in england, strangely relaxing. Cheers
This video gives meaning to the old saying "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes". Yikes.
LOVE the Air Raid Sirens! They remind me of the "A-Bomb Drills" we had at school, when I was a kid!
The garbage can just laid there like a slug, it was it's only defense.
Only a few will truly appreciate this comment. Well done sir.
#RandyTheGarbageCan
Well played sir!!!
poor birds what do they do to survive
I'm thinking about the birds and squirrels too. With half our trees down it makes me so very sad for them
They basically just find shelter lol they go near houses if the trees start getting blown to hard
They're fine tho
Animals know hours and even days before the storm and get to safety..animals are very smart..I’ve noticed birds act different before severe weather.
It wasn't a good day for babies.. We had nests all over the place. One mom was sitting on a live baby on the ground and sadly her other baby laid dead about 10 feet away.. I was able to put the live one back in the nest (luckily it was still in the tree). Mom and dad watched the whole time and I saw mom in the nest later that night.. Wish I could have helped more though 😢
That trash can hung in there like a boss💪 lol!! Cool vid hope everyone is ok god bless 💪💪
Anyone else notice the Sidewalk just ends for no reason?? In the middle of the neighbor's front yard???? Strangest thing ever.
Derecho: I am the most powerful storm!
Garbage Can: Am I a joke to you?
that must have been some heavy heavy trash, took it like a champ
