- THANK YOU for all the comments and subscribing! This is the total footage of my Super Derecho experience, head on with some side view footage inserted. While in the gas station power went out, upon stepping outside and observing the ominous shelf cloud, i immediately headed for home. Instead i drove head on into a in-land hurricane known...not so well known storm called a derecho, intense straight line winds. Certain sizes ,wind speeds and other factors can upgrade it to a super derecho. Yes it scared the hell out of me! I knew i made a grave mistake. I pulled over in the best spot i could find in a instant. Power was out so i pulled just beyond the poles and held on. This street in 2018 was basically ground zero for the devastating EF-3 Tornado that ripped through the center of our town, you can watch my footage of that on my channel. Please Like and Subscribe! Thanks Again,JayHook67

That old Victorian house has probably been through countless tornadoes, blizzards and derechos. They were built to last!
i know it is quite randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to stream newly released series online?
I bet a million bucks that the 3 replies before me are the same person, trying to scam you under fake account.
Where's my million bucks?
It's true tho I live here that house has been through about everything 😂
@@greycamden6073 they sure were!
I was going to comment on that. I was quite impressed. Not even a single shingle was peeled off of it (granted those are probably cedar shake on that style), and even the lattice work is still fully intact.
This was one hell of a welcome home present for me, this happened maybe a week after I came back home from my 8 year long stay in Texas. I was in the 8th floor of Tallcorn Towers at the time, fast asleep, until I woke up to the rain hitting the window, noticed the sky was kind of dark and looked outside to see what was going on, I thought someone was rummaging through some grocery bags and it was just cloudy outside. To my surprise, I see a wall of rain and wind rip through, and the rain was being projectiled at the windows hard enough for it to start flooding our apartment on the 8th floor. Easily the scariest experience I've been in.
I will never forget that storm. I was trying to film it at a Cook County, Illinois Forest Preserve. The wind knocked down my cameras. blew my french fries all over the field and sogged up my McDonald's Quarter Pounder with cheese. Glad I have other storm videos under my belt. Subscribed.
Ahh, the lovely upper Midwest. I remember driving to the lake house on Interstate 29 in South Dakota and a storm seemed to come out of nowhere. The wind was so strong, I had my foot on the pedal all the way to the floor, and still couldn't go over 30 mph. Derechos are no fun when you're not in a basement!
Derechos are a lot of fun. Going in the basement is a lame move.
Love the video. What makes it even better, you took it in front of that old house making feel like a scene from a horror movie 😎👍
It reminded me of Norman Bates house ... ;-)
Right! And the Monster House Movie…House.
Looks like a hurricane. Glad you pulled over.
Omg! I lived there when that happened! In that brown house. My brother was home alone while I was at hyvee with my bf and dad was at work
U can even see the small air conditioner on the far left window
Glad your ok. Thank you for sharing the video.
I have watched several vids of that 8/10/20 event over the past week. This is the first that truly terrified me. Seeing the man trapped in his truck, hearing that roaring wind--nothing I want to experience.
Glad you made it ok, i have never seen anything like this before or had to experience it, scary
Wow! So intense with no place to run and no place to hide. Thanks brother for the video experience.
We just had a Derecho in Tulsa , Oklahoma and surrounding cities it was crazy no power for a week gas stations where running out of gas semis getting blown off the highway all hotels in surrounding towns that where not affected where full could not find any generators I finally found my daughter and her family one about and hour away and a window unit they have 5 little ones and pets they almost lost one of there dogs they found her unresponsive so they went and grabbed cool towels and put them on her to get her body temperature down and took a baby medicine dropper to get water in her she finally came out of it and was able to eat and drink water she is fine now but it was a nightmare some places had wind gusts of 130 mph it was crazy.
One of my good friends lives in Tulsa and sent me a video of the storm! Hope all is ok for you! Definitely a scary storm, you feel so powerless inside them
Well, you must buy that house and live in it. Look at it during that storm - she's proving her worth, her strength, her loyalty. That house needs a family to love and protect!!!!
Damn😳 those power lines behind you were freaking me out. Like a hurricane!
When I realized I was caught I pulled just beyond the poles and lines hoping my spot was safe…I did know the power was out so that was only reason I parked there
So sorry you experienced that. We were in our basement, pure 45 min. of 120mp winds. Sad to see 75% of CR tree canopy gone.
It will take another hundred years. So glad you were safe.
some areas probably got 100 sustained from the derecho but the highest gust was recorded at 112.
I bet in some areas of cedar rapids it gusted to 115/120.
It was like 60% not 75% lol and most of that percentage was due to people just cutting their trees down after the storm.
Ty for sharing. I’m happy you were safe. 🥰
Wow! That storm was intense! Glad you're ok!
Ok after watching this, it might be my new favorite footage of the derecho.
My kids were terrified! The intensity seemed to last forever! We all kept wondering when it was going to stop.
Same thing was going through my head. If I can make it through a few minutes…5…10…15…20..then the sirens went off!
It looks almost like a huge tidal wave coming straight at you. Frightening!!
That’s a great description…definitely felt like a pineapple under the sea!
Seeing the look on his face when he was making the call, I felt that…
One of the most scariest and helpless situations I’ve ever been in…
I’m glad ya made it!
That house image very American Gothic
That must have been terrifying. I was safe in my home in Ames Iowa and I was terrified.
One of the most terrifying situations I’ve been in and that includes being held hostage by a man with a assault rifle!
Wow, at around the 5:26 mark, you can see a whole road sign (appears to be a road construction sign) fly pass the truck from the right side. (You can even see it fly pass both cameras going upwards on the left camera and downwards on the right camera.)
Later at around the 7:26 you can see another road sign, this time without the metal support, fly pass.
Just show how intense straight line winds can be.
Also this person was very lucky neither of those signs hit his windshield.
Definitely could have cut my head off! Believe me when I watched the footage later I was very thankful!
@@JayHook67 Do you know how strong the winds were? We recently had a derecho in Southern Ontario. It got up to 190 km/h but surely didn't look as bad as this and didn't last as long, so I'm assuming this one way over 190 km/h
The derecho was roughly 50-60 miles wide and traveled close to 700 miles! Winds speeds varied in areas. I am a pilot and our local airport recorded 140 mph at the height of the storm. The EF3 tornado that ripped through our town was 139 mph. Look on my channel for that footage. Thanks for watching
@@JayHook67 wow that's quite a super derecho, thx for response.
@@Anonymous-xh7tw A general rule of thumb for estimating wind speeds, base it on what the wind is doing, oppose to how intense it looks. Very heavy rain and lots of flying debris can make winds appear much stronger than they actually are. The winds in this video probably peaked at around 80-90mph (129-145km/h) during the most intense downbursts, which is still very dangerous winds. 140mph (225km/h) winds would not spare that tree on the right, and would've done serious damage to the roof of that house, or the house in general. That high wind value was only recorded at one single location, which is typical for all derechos.
Every now an then I return to this video and try to guess how strong the winds were. I know the airport in Marshalltown measured a 99mph wind gust, but winds in a derecho are very tricky, and singular locations can experience wildly varied winds from a single derecho. Even a single neighborhood can experience wildly different winds. There's also the problem with embedded tornadoes.
Marshalltown measured multiple areas of winds in the 90mph range, so I'd guess the most intense wind gust was probably in the 85-95mph range, but that's the best I can guess.
That's insanity
Scariest thing I’ve ever been in! @bluetoad6848 I would agree with your assessment.
I just went through hurricane Ian as I'm typing this from inland hillsborough county, Florida. That roar, it's just like what I was hearing last night as my trees got shredded around me.
Wow that looked scary great video shots👍🙏
Thank you ! always good to hear from someone across the pond !
I live in Reinbeck and at the time I was at work at Bertch in Waterloo. I had no idea what had happened being away from my phone and no access to news and weather reports. As I drove in to Reinbeck it was as if someone had dropped a bomb. Debris everywhere, trees gone, a total mess. I'm kinda glad I was at work when it hit. I think if I had been home I would have been scared to death.😮
Glad you were safe! I was thankful I got caught in my big truck and in a clear spot from trees. Being caught inside the storm for at least 20 minutes straight was frightening!
Wow, just incredible!
Green sky is always bad
If wrath had a sound, that wind would be it. Yikes.
No kidding! Like in a horror movie going up to a haunted house!
We had one of these things hit here in upstate New York back in the 90's that was one wild ride !
The screenshot looks like a scene from a horror movie.
The sky turns green too
It looked like being under the ocean
That old house appeared to perform splendidly in the storm, however, there could be unseen internal damage. Some separation of joists; the chimney flashing/channel is no longer firmly flush with the rest of the structure; warped walls; warped doorframes and windowframes. You may not notice this stuff, for a matter of weeks, months, but once the house "settles back", then this poor old house is done for; it's become uninhabitable, and it's also the same story, for seemingly sturdy commercial buildings. It then becomes no longer possible to conduct business there.
You are correct. Many house were condemned and buildings. I fortunately was able to repair my business warehouse just yesterday in fact.
How scary. That thing just enveloped you. Did you rerun footage 2/3's thru. Glad you're ok.
If there were a hill is think that was the Bates house!! 🤷🏾♀️🤔
Definitely wouldn’t take a shower there!
Was this that same storm that came through Cedar Rapids in August? Sure looks like it because it was also on August 10, 2020
Yes it was my town is 60 to 75 miles west . This is the start of the storm
Power already went out before it got started...
Yeah, for a lot of places it took anywhere from a few days to several weeks for power to be restored. It took a full week to restore power to Tallcorn Towers, and I had to sleep in a car while it went down just because it was too hot to sleep in the apartment.
@@mayravixx25 haha after i went through hurricane irma and lost most of the structure of my house it probably was 110+ every day of september.
That is terrifying.
It was a very destructive storm. I am glad I didn't experience it and hope I never do
But those winds are 😨
That’s Insane! 😳. Glad y’all are safe 😀. Love that house! 😍
Was way worse in Cedar Rapids. Same storm, same day. The winds strengthened to 140 mph.
Yep we were on the start of the storm.
5:00 It really seems to pick up, you can hear the wind howl so clearly.
They don’t make houses like that anymore . Good strong ones.
I hope that yellow convertible Mustang made it home in time!
(I drive a Camaro)
It sucks to see the not so great comments on here... seriously though, great video. I'm not sure why some people had beef with the video. Especially that one comment about global climate change, which had nothing to do with the awesome and surreal dash cam footage you provided. Thanks 👍
Thank you, I appreciate that!Yeah people will be people…especially behind a computer screen.
As someone who is concerned about climate change I think they are just trying to spread the message where they can. I didn't see it so maybe they were being too rude about it but I do hope people see that our climate is a concern
Climate change is a problem. I don't know what you're talking about as storms are getting stronger and fire starting in Canada, and now Hawaii, also, temperatures are rising to 100° 115° 125° to 130° and people had been burn to death by falling on the Pavement which can reach 170° that's 3rd degree burns buddy all this stuff is going on isn't normal especially Florida waters were 105° which creators were dying.
@dlivex9492 The waters off the coast are no longer in the 100's. That reading was taken in a bay too, where the water will naturally be warmer. Wisconsin this year, for the most part, has been around average, besides the initial flash drought. Iowa southward was always in the ridge though. Trust me, the world was far warmer than now. We're fine.
My hole entire garage came down and after a couple weeks are ceiling collapsed
I feel for you! A lot of people lost their entire possessions, hope you are recovering!
@@JayHook67 ya we are back in the House now
Good deal!
How much warning do they give you on these things?
We had no warning on this one being we were near the start. Your lucky to get a 10 to 20 minute warning due to the rarity of these storms.
It’s very difficult to warn for a Derecho storm, they come out of nowhere
I think they should change the name to Marshmallow town.
it hit my town in Glenview Illinois same date
@@garrettkaplan8041 Crazy Derechos travel hundreds of miles!
Nothing can stop a derecho storm… DiRico.
Completely powerless and at its mercy…
Yes a dirico has 0 visibility for about 10 minutes then it all comes back
They should rename derecho to DRANGO with the theme music from the good, bad and ugly.
I would have worried about the truck flipping
It did push my truck .between the wind and water I was concerned…then I thought my tow truck has saved me before, so I just hoped and prayed!
HOW THE HEACK IS YOUR WINDOW NOT BREAKING OMG
Idk I thought the same thing a Barricade hit the front of my truck and broke my passenger mirror. If you go watch my other video you can watch the whole thing from the dash cam
@@JayHook67 ok dang that scary
Like being in a horror movie!
@@JayHook67 ikr my family lives in iowa and there power was out for 3 weeks and i use to live there when i was little i was born in water lew and then we left and moved to nashville but all my family lives in iowa and in iowa city and in ceader rapits
Ive been in storms like this up here in Washington state
I watched this whole thing thinking he was a storm chaser until he told us at the end.... Damn, the eye was insane.
its not a hurricane there is no eye it is an extremely intense band of thunderstorms
I went through Hurricane Laura (Category 4 almost a 5) winds toped out at 130mph here in my town this is almost the same as laura, but laura was worse
Yeah, wind speeds in this area were around 98 mph, not quite as bad as laura, but still pretty bad.
Obviously hurricanes are worse not just due to wind but flooding, however whats crazy is that this wasn't even the peak of the derecho, that occurred over Cedar Rapids, IA area with wind gusts est. at >140 mph.
@@Natalie-cd4mf no, im sorry but no, ive seen the 140 mph gust claim vids and they probably are gusting to 100-110.
The strongest ones ive probably seen is one called something like "Inland cat 2 hurricane?", it looked like a cat 2 it really did.
@@tvold9204 it was from an official NWS survey, the same damage indicators used to assess tornadoes and hurricane aftermath to determine winds. I think I'd trust structural and mechanical engineers who helped divise the scale / indicators vs anecdotal evidence offered by youtube users lmao
140mph was estimated, it was never a confirmed measurement. 126mph was the only confirmed measured wind gust in Atkins, Iowa. People need to stop spreading this "oh the highest *measured* wind gust was 140mph!" It's false information. It was never confirmed by NOAA.
This looks like cat5 hurricane
Cat 1 they said
Trust me that's not a cat 5
that look like a tornado
That was my first thought, but after 15 minutes I realized it wasn’t! A pop up accumulating thunderstorm that builds in intensity and strength, producing winds that categorize into hurricane classification. This one at its height stretched around 70 miles wide,traveling around 700 miles! Microburst-derecho. Check out the other video on my page!
Reed Timmer describes it as a giant windbag !
that was one of the most foolish decisions ive ever seen in my life, i enjoyed the video though. next time you see green like that coming at you get into some shelter
I totally agree . My family and I were also hit by the tornado in 2018 after that experience my children were traumatized and all I could think was to try and make it home to be with them. Believe me I do know better, I was just unaware the speed and intensity of the approaching storm. The airport was hit by a derecho in 2011 and destroyed multiple hangers with my plane and eight others.
@@JayHook67 I'm terrified of tornados and my mom has done this same thing when we were hit by a smaller derecho here in South Dakota when I was younger. She rushed home from work about a half mile away in it to be with me so to make sure I wasnt possibly caught out in the field or scared out of my mind. Honestly I wish she would have just kept safe and stayed put until it was over, it scared me even more to think something could have happened to her
@@JayHook67 ❤️
well that is what a low end cat 2 looks like, im from south florida btw ive seen winds going up and above 150.
Honestly i think that the victorian house clip looks like hurricane delta, a low end cat 2, but ive always thought that was a bit strong because of satellite appearence.
Still, it looks like a high end cat 1 to low end cat 2 hurricane and im not saying the derecho is weak, im just saying that most people dont get high wind speeds unless you are experienced, like for example someone like me who has been through a major hurricane would be able to recognize 100mph winds as 100mph winds whereas someone from iowa would say 140.
Yeah 99mph was the highest official (ASOS) measured gust for Marshalltown. But to be honest, it would be hard for anyone to estimate just based on this footage, it's literally a wall of water lol. I intercept hurricanes as a hobby, and intercepted the eyewall of Hurricane Irma in Naples / Pelican Bay (parking garage right along the shore), as well as most recently Hurricane Laura in Lake Charles, LA where I documented the skyscraper losing most of its windows. I'd agree a lot of people overestimate winds, but this derecho did in fact produce 100-140mph winds over an area that never experiences such winds. They aren't built for it
What made the storm unique is it was like a hurricane with straight-line winds.
@@KayInMaine Derechos and downbursts aren't uncommon in the midwest states. They are massive straight- line wind storms. Basically land hurricanes, just on a smaller scale.
@@funkster007 Yes, so true.
I live in Waterloo iowa. We got the top part of this storm. This storm started in Nebraska South Dakota region before moving through here in Iowa. Were built to handle tornadoes but this one took everyone by surprise honestly. Cedar rapuds took the main hits of this storm. Everyone came from that area to here in Waterloo to buy generaters.only to find out all the stores were sold out. We even had people coming to restaurants and grocery stores.to buy food and whatnot to rake back down to friends and family. It was crazy that day.
I don't get it, it's just a little rain? What's the big deal?
just kidding ;D
It was a land hurricane. Very unique.
Its not to smart to our there in it, when you knew it was coming
I can remember One that blasted through Omaha in 1980 109 mph won't ever forget that I was 17 years old for the Christ sakes 🎉😂🎉😂🎉 for the Omaha Christ steaks 🐸
We had 2 in our town the first one was in the early morning hours, slept right through it lol! Woke up to my neighbor knocking on the door to see if I was home.
next time stay put
Well that cuts it, you waste time waiting for it to come, and then you choose to drive. It wouldn't be for just making this video?
I wonder if the people in Noah's time went thru something like this, and it didn't stop for 40 day's..
I liked you video until you put your wipers on too fast. That requires extra energy and gas so that adds to global climate change. Do better.
Lol
That was funny Noticer - thank you for the great laugh!
Lol got a good laugh out of this thanks
Lmao
why where you hiding like a little girl my bad forgot who i was talking to
Well life isn’t a Fortnite game like the videos you post where you can just respawn after death….JS
You hide because something could fly into the window and kill you idiot
