  • It’s amazing to watch them come in. We had one in northern Illinois a while back . Didn’t have the dust but the winds were insane. We were without power tor 4 days. Nice video!

    I lived in Arizona for the last 25 years (just moved out of there last year) and I remember seeing these walls of dust approaching night after night knowing the next day would be full of cleaning up. It is just incredible how quickly you go from daylight to darkness as the wall of dust moves over you. I'm amazed at the areas of the country that are experiencing these now. Thanks for this video.... Take care and be well. Peace.

    The weather that happens in the plains is terrifying even for those of us understand it. I can't imagine the poor settlers must have felt who had no clue about this. Great footage
  • @tshaffer9681
    THIS IS SOME TOTALLY AWESOME FOOTAGE.!!! THANK YOU.

    Top half of the flagpole disappeared around the 15 minute mark so gives you an idea of actually how much damage that wind could do. Excellent footage, was interesting to see it gradually getting darker as each layer of cloud got nearer. Conditions deteriorated rapidly as the dust arrived, that thing was moving. Best video I've watched of the storm so far.

    I live in Sioux Falls. This storm was nuts. It was ripping the trees right out of the ground.
  • @sherry8894
    This is some awesome footage !! Thank you ! I would definitely be terrified if I saw that scary looking cloud coming toward me. I haven't ever experienced this.

    You guys have some nice lawns out there in Sioux Falls.
  • Being from Atlanta, I am awestruck by the strength of these storms. Well done recording this. Its seriously cool.

    I was stopped at the rest area 35 miles west of town on I 90 This storm hit so fast and violent, the weather alert warned if outside, wind and debris would be fatal. Luckily no one there was injured. This was crazy.

    I live 230+ miles to the north in Fargo, ND. When this got up there, it had really weakened. Fargo was much cooler that day, upper 60's and I suppose the storms had nothing to really feed off on. There was some lightning/thunder I recorded. Just 50 miles to my south, winds were topping 80 mph though. This video was incredible!
  • @EthanBWeather
    This whole storm looked like a friggin' time lapse!
  • I grew up in southern Minnesota. Summer thunderstorms were often dramatic and scary.
  • @ishajac3637
    Holy shit! That was so ominous. I'd a been freaking out.
  • @Anna-qf9hm

  • @froey198033
    Man that Derecho looked scary as hell when it first came in.
  • @LaTerfaMexicana
    I am just outside of SF and this storm was scary. I have never seen it get so dark like that.
