Wow !! I have finally had the chance to read all these comments. I had no idea this video would get so many views so thank you all for taking the time to watch it. Sorry I haven't replied individually as a generic reply is a lot easier lol. As I said I was not expecting this kind of a response to it. So here's the thing lol !! I live here in the UK so our dates our back to front lol, so I meant 05/12/22 ?? My bad !! We don't get a great deal of severe thunderstorms here. But when we do it usually happens between late June and September. I have always been fascinated by them and lucky for me I have family who live in MO and IL USA so I plan my visits to coincide with storm season in the US. The other voice in the video was my father who lives in IL. ( Long story lol ?? ) and we both enjoy a bit of storm chasing. So we both started that day of the 12th not far from Minneapolis, checked the SPC's outlook on Twitter and headed towards SD/ND accordingly. We had driven up to Fargo ND and started to head down I29 and I picked Watertown SD as there was a hotel and somewhere to eat etc just off the interstate and after checking Radarscope and determining that by the time we got there, checked in and ordered food and a beer. It would hit. By doing this we didn't have to chase this storm any longer as it was now chasing us. So I thought I planned that perfectly lol. Now I thought Mammatus cloud normally follows a storm ?? This happened before it hit ?? In hindsight I wish I had kept the video running longer as we went back inside the bar we were in but we both felt that we should warn the other people inside to perhaps move away from the windows just in case. There was defiantly a funnel in the dark part of the video 100 percent. Bare in mind I was there before being too quick to judge. The camera didn't pick it up very well though as It was seriously rain wrapped there was no way to tell if I had touched down or not. I'm no meteorologist but I have been fascinated by thunderstorms since I was a kid and I have an interest in the subject and a desire to learn. My only regret is I didn't study it further when I was younger. I want to spend as much time in the US witnessing severe weather events in the hope that I can try an educate people here in the UK to be more weather wise as we are starting to get more and more severe weather as each year passes. 3 years ago we had record breaking heat ( Over 40C/104F ) around the 4th July and a QLCS battered most of England the following night. Maybe a yellow thunderstorm warning was issued by the Met Office but they are usually asleep at the wheel most of the time lol, unlike the NWS who are proper on it in my opinion !! The Met Office recorded 38.7C in Cambridge as a new official UK record that day, but my car temperature gage was at 43C and I was only in Peterborough at the time which is about 25 miles from Cambridge. So once again I would like to thank you all for watching and for all the comments, which I have taken onboard btw, and I hope to post more content soon. I enjoy a bit of constructive criticism as I find it helpful. Bare in mind I was there and despite the fact the iPhone 13 Pro has a pretty damn good camera on it and I was recording at 4K 60FPS the video of what I witnessed that day does not do it justice. Many Regards All and Stay Safe 😀😀😀😀 PS I found the curb side pick up at Walmart comment funny whoever sent that lmfao 😂😂
It was a derecho, there wasn't a rotation unless it was way in the back where the lightning was. Derecho still kick up debris but are a conglomerate of supercells bunched together combining energy and moving very quickly. Still very destructive, and very frightening and becoming more and more common.
There was QLCS rotation in the video. A QLCS tornado did occur in Watertown with this storm. QLCS Tornadoes are usually on the gust front, or in the precip bands when a derecho or fast-moving squall line is present. Derechos aren't supercells either, unless they have embedded supercells in them, which is rare.
Um there is no rule that a derecho can't produce a quick spin up tornado. Which would be most likely at the very start or the very end of said derecho. With any notches or breaks in the line. But they most certainly can and do happen. But umm somebody obviously didn't watch the video because you could see the rotation plain as day lol
I looked but i didnt see a tornado. That was a derecho yes, but all i saw were some updrafts that are common at the front of a derecho. Saw nothing actually spinning though.
That's what I was thinking, too. I've witnessed multiple funnel or rotating wall clouds over the years, and they always come at the tail end of a severe storm.This is scud clouds along the leading edge. I've witnessed two derechos in my lifetime so far; one, in the mid-80s near Hinckley, MN; the other in the Twin Cities in June of 2017. This storm had an impressive, if ragged, shelf cloud.
@@prettyuglymonster I saw on May 12 this year, what I thought was a scud before a severe storm came through. They were multicellular storms that were attempting to turn into a squall. Anyways, I then noticed that it was actually rotating. Then a friend of mine took a very brief video of it about 5 minutes later, and it had a massive wall cloud, and the funnel was massive! Almost made contact with the ground too. However, scattered storms that had formed ahead of the main line collided into the partial squall and killed it.
@@weathermanofthenorth1547 I realize after the fact that a tornado was reported. Storms can do weird things. I stand corrected, because we also experienced tornadoes in a stalled storm pattern in 1987, and it was unusual to get tornadoes from such a scenario.
Be careful voicing your opinion about no tornado. You'll be verbally assaulted and called a dumb ass. I'm a certified Skywarn storm spotter for over 20 years..
One of the best weather videos I've seen and the guy filming it did a nice job showing what was going on while keeping his shit together, that had to be one badass experience
Last summer, in Northampton MA, our emergency broadcast system alerted. I was driving,t he sky turned black so I pulled into a Walmart. I went in and everybody in the shop was moved to the rear of the store until the daner passed. Such Fun!
You guys do realize there is such thing as rain wrapped tornados you never know there might have been a tornado i mean they usually put those sirens on for a reason
I watched a livestream about this storm as it was happening and most certainly y’all had a tornado produced from this storm. We literally watched it form on the radar in real time.
I know the sirens can be scary but thank God we have sirens did you know durning this storm Sioux falls South Dakota didn't even put their sirens on. I live near Brookings South Dakota. It got dark like it was midnight when that Derecho pass through.
That was definitely an SLC. There was no rotation with what may or may not be an updraft. It is still ominous and scary to see such a formation of clouds in any event.
@@Tigers9596 2 things are true at the same time period there was no rotation that was visible in his filming, but a tornado did touch down from the storm. Just not in this video.
Derechoes never form a tornado, because a derecho and a tornado are different types of severe thunderstorms, or at least, a derecho isn't a supercell exactly at all.
I saw nothing close to a derecho, and I don't think the camera operator actually saw a tornado - not the way he was panning the camera around as if he was looking for it. He said he saw debris - all I saw was a cloud formation with updrafts. Someone said "wedge", but I saw nothing of the sort. The sirens going off don't prove anything - sometimes local authorities have itchy fingers.
It was classified as a derecho by the National Weather Service www.weather.gov/abr/StormsummaryMay122022 Anyone who has experienced a derecho or watched derecho videos would know that's what is recorded in this video.
Derecho=Squall line on steroids. It is Spanish for "straight" in reference to the powerful straight-line winds. Although Derecho also means "left" and "upright" in Spanish.
I once had a derecho in ny on July 18 2022 and I was soooo scared my bro and dad were outside at ey doctor and it was soo bad I still get nightmares and there was like a tornado or something
i had the worst nightmare onn aug 29 2021 at night a tornado siren was going off there were 12 tornado sirens in my county because its small but une 15 I saw a rotation in the cloud and it hailed I saw a tornado destroying everything I saw debris and our car shook and was flying off the ground and sirens went off trucks were slipping from rain on the highway it was BAD
lol describe or post a "real" storm then. I've lived in Kansas & Missouri most of my life...that was hardly a "little" thunderstorm. I would have had the same awe, fear and respect for such a frightening approach as recorded by the videographers.

Pretty amazing footage.
Thank You for both capturing and then sharing this video.
One of the best weather videos I've seen and the guy filming it did a nice job showing what was going on while keeping his shit together, that had to be one badass experience
You haven’t seen many then, because this was not a tornado at all.
@@voiceofreason7567 I never said it was a tornado
get real ffs😅
Try watching Pecos Hank. He’s a great storm chaser. Also, he doesn’t yell and is somehow calm about it.
You can get anything at Wal mart these days even a Tornado, Curbside pickup anyone?
🤣
The speed of the approaching storm made it look like a movie special effect. It just didn't look real - yet it was.
You sure do get some weather! That sunset after the storm was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
If you pause the video at 3:32 and look at the lightning you can see something forming in the backround
Last summer, in Northampton MA, our emergency broadcast system alerted. I was driving,t he sky turned black so I pulled into a Walmart. I went in and everybody in the shop was moved to the rear of the store until the daner passed. Such Fun!
That storm structure is unreal
I was in the same storm. Our whelen 4004 went off and we were hit by another tornado rated as an EF2. It was crazy!!
Where was this?
@@danelicker317 bridgewater sd
The beauty of the beast
You guys do realize there is such thing as rain wrapped tornados you never know there might have been a tornado i mean they usually put those sirens on for a reason
Well I see we made CZcams M8. That surely was an exciting afternoon wasnt it? Cant wait to do it again.
Yeah I live in Watertown I took cover for an hour long before it was over it was scary I thought I was going to die
I watched a livestream about this storm as it was happening and most certainly y’all had a tornado produced from this storm. We literally watched it form on the radar in real time.
Those sirens are eerie af.
I know the sirens can be scary but thank God we have sirens did you know durning this storm Sioux falls South Dakota didn't even put their sirens on. I live near Brookings South Dakota. It got dark like it was midnight when that Derecho pass through.
I know right??! Those sirens are life saving but make the anxiety so much more intense!!
The mamatus looks amazing
That was definitely an SLC. There was no rotation with what may or may not be an updraft. It is still ominous and scary to see such a formation of clouds in any event.
What does "SLC" stand for here? :)
Вероятно, несколько вращений могло возникнуть в самой туче, но, как говорят охотники за торнадо, они могут не достигнуть земли.
А тучка хороша!!!
@@brennuvargr4638 scary lookin cloud! ☁️
It was a QLCS rotation. There was a QLCS tornado that touched down in Watertown from the same storm. He was filming rotation for sure.
@@Tigers9596 2 things are true at the same time period there was no rotation that was visible in his filming, but a tornado did touch down from the storm. Just not in this video.
Looks similar to a tornado, but it could be a mixture of something.
I mean rain wrapped tornadoes are so deadly.

Location?

Are those mammatus clouds in the beginning??
A 6 minute video with 1 minute of action
wow Jeeps.. lots of exciting action on your video posts
There was enough rotation to cause the Weather Service to initiate the tornado sirens.
Hells bells!!! Funnel or not, I think I'd be running for cover with a sky that mean looking heading my way!
Clouds have been doing their crunches i see
Those some scary clouds
Walmart's always getting hit by them I ran in to one in Michigan last summer as a tornado was on ground
I never heard of dericho's before. They are wild. I watched one video where the damn thing lasted like a half hour of steady 80 to 100mph winds.
Derecho=Squall line on steroids. It is Spanish for "straight" in reference to the powerful straight-line winds. Although Derecho also means "left" and "upright" in Spanish.
@@ShonnMorris Ve heard it pronounced a few dif ways at this point so I'll just go w the Spanish word. Lol

@@sadiasusan949 I think they are tornadoes. Just not swirly. Lol. Yea that woulda been scary. He'll they're freaky enough on video.
Nice video
Everything changes--
Climate also!
I'm not surprised by anything anymore!!!!
That HAD to be fun !
Those kind of clouds reminds me of end of the world movies.
Tornado or the high winds set off the sirens
Incredible!
That is bad news when it goes dark in the middle of the day like that.
The funnel was rain wrapped so up could not see it and the Funnel looked like it never actually touched down to make an official tornado
i had the worst nightmare onn aug 29 2021 at night a tornado siren was going off there were 12 tornado sirens in my county because its small but une 15 I saw a rotation in the cloud and it hailed I saw a tornado destroying everything I saw debris and our car shook and was flying off the ground and sirens went off trucks were slipping from rain on the highway it was BAD
Streetlamps be checking their watches. Gorgeous sunset though.
at first it looks like it's running like smoke....and it's getting dark...if people who aren't used to seeing this will be scared like me 😅
5:41 what view
Never knew these happened round London, innit.
How come I never hear those sirens in Canada?. Wish Canada had one. May 21st was a wild thunderstorm I had in Canada.
we have sirens but are never used
Is this in England
Sahnds lark it, dunnit.
Tornado was probably rain wrapped dropped down for a while and went back up.
3:30 was that a tornado in the lightning? I swear it was
Where is this?
Watertown South Dakota
Wow it got really dark quick there. Hope everyone was okay.
why be so anxious, it's just weather !
Оно вращается!!!
Slow down the camera movement. It's far too dizzying to watch as it is.
Those were skud clouds coming up from the ground not a tornado.
It wasn’t a tornado. No rotation to it. Just rising moisture
Prime example of a qlcs tornado.
I see someone just leaves their motorcycle in the parking lot . Probably has insurance.
You sure you didn't see no tornado well the clouds look very dark and humid
5: of course 6 + 7 haven't came and replied yet and of course eight and nine
6: I am here 5 I was on time to reply
7: well where is 8 he should have came and replied what's taking him so long to get dressed
8: seven I'm here and also where is 9
9: hey I was about to get here on time
I didn’t know the meaning of the word derecho before 2020, and somehow we’re getting 3 this year already, wtf
There was no tornado here lol. Derechos easily kick up stuff.
hail
That walmart will nolonger have anything
2:47 Wow! (=◉ᆽ◉=)
Where’s the tornado? 🙄
WOW! If that little thunderstorm had this effect on you, I wonder what a real storm would do to you.
Lol...Exactly...
Little?
lol describe or post a "real" storm then. I've lived in Kansas & Missouri most of my life...that was hardly a "little" thunderstorm. I would have had the same awe, fear and respect for such a frightening approach as recorded by the videographers.

I could literally see the rotation in the clouds ☁️
Tornado a 100 percent bc I was without windows

All I saw was scud and updrafts.

God was telling South Dakota to dump their ACU/CPAC queen Noem.
But, they did not listen. Now, Noem is going to have to payback that $18 million she took from the destructive profiteers at ACU/CPAC.
Stop saying tornado there was none
These are your good days, the apocalypse will come to you, wait, America is near
your date is wrong..lol

neither a tornado nor a derecho. O for 2
www.weather.gov/abr/StormsummaryMay122022
derecho with tornadoes as per weather professionals
Please. Unless you have truly dramatic footage, don’t bother. This was just a boring line of thunderstorms.
Really,......Grow Up Already,.......😟
click bait
these storm chasers need some wind mufflers. (AKA dead cats.)
Not impressed.
