I love how LITTERALY ALMOST NOBODY on a news network has broadcasted or even spoke of this event, even though it was the equivalent to a category 3 hurricane!
@Mr. sir that’s what always happens..I don’t know why you never hear about stuff like that.
Category 1-2
@@peytonb5591 the winds got up to 140 that’s a cat 4
This was determined equivalent to a category 4 hurricane!! It was called Iowa’s inland hurricane.
Was caught at work, I waited it out in my concrete mixer truck, we were on the paving grade waiting to pour when it hit us, definitely looked like a cat 4 hurricane.
I live in Iowa and most of us here had no clue that there was a such thing as a "derechro".
Over a week later people are still without power and school is starting.
It's wonderful seeing people helping each other. #IowaStrong
So here’s my experience with this Iowa weather I live in Mitchelleville and I go to SEP and I had golf practice on the Monday this hit I was at the golf course (no coaches btw) the sirens go off (still no coaches) the wind picks up and a adult had to tell us to leave so I was rushing to the car scared out of my mind trees falling around us I got hit the head with a branch (I’m okay btw) because the wind hit us with no warning no before breeze just full blast we seen lightning strike a tree it caught on fire see 2 trees fall while trying to get out of the area we were just trying to get somewhere safe so we got to a nearby Hy-Vee and hid out in there for 20 minutes seen lightning strike a building or something off in the distance after we got out of the hyvee and the sky was a weird green so we were pretty skeptical because that’s tornado clouds so we just tried getting home as quick as possible
Thank you for listening to my story of what to me during this
Well im so glad your okay! Thank you for sharing your story!
I DONT Know what Happyd
Just learned from the national weather service in Davenport that my town cedar rapids had 140 mph winds! It was definitely not a fun day and my house was out of power for 7 days!
Dang a week that must have been horrible
Megan Vidal 140 mph wind gusts is like a catagory 4 hurricane
I am so sorry are things getting back in order at all yet?
@@LoveJarVlogs Your family needs to be safe and you to. Were I live I have wildfires every summer
225 km/h… Wow.
As a trained storm spotter (not chaser, 2 different things), I confirm severe storms.
Anyhow, living in Iowa with severe storms, most of us didn't even know "derechro" was a word.
This storm was not wind gusts, it was straight line winds (2 different things).
If anyone has questions, I'll try my best to answer them!
I know you never metioned anything about tornados, but should I be scared of tornados? I live in North Carolina and im in a pretty nice and stable home, although im still frightened by them! I have never been in one but I have seen crazy videos of them and they look scary!
@Summer Evans Did they not teach you what a derecho was? It's just a bow echo that lasts hundreds of miles with lots of damage. I would think that would be one of the things that they would teach
what exactly is a derecho? is it like some huge tornado in a sense?
@Summer Evans can you try to explain to me when a moderate storm is please? Because every time I look it up it comes up with moderate risk..when I’m pretty sure a moderate risk and a storm is different..and everytime one hits me it’s either intense or mild it’s always different I’m really confused on it.
@@violetstoica5835 I'm not an expert but I live in nc to and I believe that if you just pay attention to the weather you should be fine just know that tornado alley is expanding and nc is one of the next states to enter we are in what is called carolina alley just stay safe watch the weather and we will be fine hoped this helped take care.
You really are lucky as your son mentioned. In my part of Iowa I lost power for two weeks. Lost all my trees ( I watched one of them fall when I was watching the weather and decided it was good to go to the basement) and got 140mph winds! But when the storm was over all my neighbors came out to help one another! Talk about restoring faith in humanity
🌪
🌧🌪🌩💨
You didn’t get 140 max was 127
I was literally scrambling to see if you all were okay. I have a friend in Cedar Rapids who lost power. So glad y'all are okay.
Tornado has been issued
Yes a power 🔋
🌧🌩💨🌪
Tornado more like firenado

Hey, I have heard that derechos are like "land hurricanes" and I'm gonna just give a advice as a caribbean, * Puerto Rican * ( I really never had been in a derecho and not heard about it a lot, but yeah). Don't let stuff like that on your backyard, like, barbecues, chairs, toys, objects in general. Yes they can get blow off and may broke, but the real problem is that they can be projectiles and may broke cars, houses or maybe kill someone. It's just an advice, just for future situations. Take care, be safe!!
That’s just a regular Tuesday In Missouri
It’s just a regular Thursday, Friday, or Saturday in Texas
True that.
Aspen has grown so much since i began to watch your channel and i think it was your second year and Aspen was so young and it was video of tornadoes and cleaning you did ❤
I swear this is the most 2020 you can get
Been watching footage all week on CZcams of these storms passing through. Some places were hit really bad. Farms had large areas of corn fields flattened. Places badly damaged. Least your grill was the only thing to come to grief in the storm and everyone is safe.
We are very lucky.
Your little boy that was telling us about the Weather on the tv should grow up to be a weather man. He did a really good job pointing things out and telling us about that and the semi. So happy you guys were safe and nothing bad happened to your home. By the way I'm a brand new subscriber now. This was on my recommended page.
Thank you and welcome 😀👋
Aspen’s like a little meteorologist! 😂😂
I did this when i was little lol
Wow. Interesting, this storm didn't really get the news coverage on a national level. Really now learning that it was a big event. Thanks for sharing your story
My heart started pounding when it hit. I was so scared! I don't really mind storms but this is like a mini hurricane!
I remember thinking of you guys the day this happened and thought "soon there will be a love jar video of this I hope!" Excited to watch
Same
Good mother. You got your children aware of the possible danger and got them downstairs AHEAD of Time. Excellent. And even the children seem to be media connected to the weather report. Amazing.
Thank you 😊

This pipe is leaking
This pipe doesn't leak
I went through this storm in Iowa it got up to 150 mph
I love watching nevideos I'll respect everything else and I love watching them. You've given me some to tell it you're telling everytime you're a kid are so really cute and especially with their growing. That's amazing how big they're growing especially especially So if anything you Frank, you're Frank, you're supposed to know videos. I love seeing them especially the store motivated by it's because I live in a small town where we don't get much like bad weather like that. We get like rain and wind. And whatever but it's not as bad as the rain. You get so i'd love to see it. I want to see your star videos but take care and stay safe
We had a real bad Derecho in western Ohio in June 2008 and it was really crazy for 3 hours. We had heavy damage and before the storms hit, it was sunny, hot and humid before those storms hit about 2 PM. And I went thru it while heading back to Ohio from Indiana and the storm was insane....so windy. Glad you folks made it okay with your Derecho recently.
Do you remember September 14,2008 when oHIo got hurricane Ike my power was out for an entire week
I live in Cedar Rapids and my house got hit hard my garage lost a window we lost parts of our porch which is a closed porch so if it rains I can hang out on our front porch we had 2 HUGE trees almost land on our house a huge branch fell on our house our roof was leaking we lost our trampoline and then another huge tree fell on our pool and we haven’t had power for a week and 2 days my sisters farm is destroyed and there machine shed fell right on my car I’m storing there and it might be totaled 😭
I am SO SORRY! My folks live in CR and they just got power back. I hope you are able to access some resources. Iowa Strong!
I am so sorry and glad you are safe.
I’m so glad you guys are ok
I will never forget that storm. Tried filming it at a Cook County Forest Preserve in Illinois. The wind knocked down my cameras, blew my French Fries all over the field and sogged up my McDonalds Quarter Pounder with cheese. But I got other storm videos under my belt. Subscribed.
It was pretty intense in some areas
Oml yall were so chill I would be in the corner hyperventilating
I hate bad storms ! I love all of your videos ! Love you guys ! We get pretty big thunderstorms here too !
Hi! Here in Des Moines, IT WAS INSANE. There was branches flying, and very high winds. Glad y'all are okay! Near me there was a car smashed, and a trees fell on houses and trampolines on the road. Stay safe! Edit: it was like so dark outside when it came.
Glad your safe, we were very lucky here.
Hello, Rockford EAS here, I was in the weaker area which was nothing but 60 to 70 but MAYBE 80 mile per hour wind gusts in far NC (NC means North Central) Illinois. I was also near a Tornado Warning for MY COUNTY! My county is Winnebago, I was close to an EF-1 TORNADO THAT HIT A COLLEGE. And I even caught lightning in the area! I was under PDS WW426 and our power also never went out, you are very lucky like me. Today we will be under an Enhanced Risk. Also PDS is actually Very Dangerous Situation. That was a crazy day!
Great idea going to the basement! Definitely the best thing to do. Derechos are just insane. The winds in them are intense. There’s been gusts reported up to 140 mph. Just insane.
Yes I think Cedar Rapids.
I live in Grinnell. We lost power before the storm even hit! But that wasn’t all. After the storm, there were trees down everywhere, even one of the stadium lights at our High School’s football stadium was knocked down!
Glad you are alright.
@@LoveJarVlogs We’re fine. Everything’s back to normal except some lines that are still down.
You are such a great Mom to your children. Sharing and calming and keeping them safe! My sister drove from Minneapolis to Kansas City with her 89 year old mother-in-law when the derecho hit them on I35W. Needless to say they had to take many detours as the freeway was full of blown over semis😱
Thank you
Why wouldn’t you secure all that outside stuff or bring it in if you knew that storm was coming?
I was focused more on my children’s schooling that day as we were at the end of our school year 😀
Love Jar Vlogs wait what how I’m just getting back into school
nobody knew the gravity of the storm until it was already happening. where i was, there was just a severe thunderstorm watch, not even sirens went off
We didn’t know it was coming.. it came in like a rocket
All I can say is I'M SO IN LOVE 😍 I love insane storms I should take a trip up there I could watch this several times absolutely amazing
Tiffany Qualley Ik what you mean, I like insane storms too, it’s exciting
We got a historic Derecho here in Missouri about a month ago as well. Luckily, our grill didn’t go over this time (that was last year, definitely fun trashing that and building the new one), but it was definitely windy, and there was some crazy lightning and thunder. I was actually more worried than usual ‘cause I had just turned 16, and was worried about my car. I have no idea what the actual wind speed was, but we were most definitely getting straight line winds. I mean, our trees were leaning at almost 90 degree angles, and staying there! Just like you guys, it came out of nowhere! One second, I was minding my own business (playing a game on my PC) with clear weather, the next I could hear rain pounding on the roof and the winds blowing! BTW, I hope your grill still works. Yeah, this took place the day after my birthday too.
10:27 i Remember that Derecho. It was Scary and Terrifying. I had a Tornado Warning with that Storm
I had a windstorm similar to that stream that hit me back on Tuesday January 26 - Wednesday January 27, 2021 in the middle of the night that brought California heavy rain and 60 to 70 mph winds. I got 40 to 45 mph winds in my area all night and when I woke up in the morning close to 8 o’clock, I saw that one of the tall pine trees in my backyard broke in half and damaged my fence because of the storm. It was emotional and I was trying not to cry but I was miserable and really tried all day. Other than tree damage, my internet was horrible, it kept going up and down all day. The damage done to my pine tree took me 2 days to recover from. I luckily didn’t lose power but out of all of every house in my neighborhood, I believe my house got the worst of the damage.
i live in iowa also but at the other end..lol..sioux city ..we got some wind but nothing compared to eastern iowa..it was building over us and got stronger ..moving east towards you guys..we had a few trees down but nothing major..
Hi 💖jar vlogs👋 I'm still hanging in there, I'm glad you guys made it through the derecho I'm closer to finding a place to live. I've missed seeing ur videos had to get a new phone I'm hoping to come see Iowa next year, I'm glad I found ur channel again and I've subbed.💖🙏🏻🤗
Hi there,
So here in Monticello my trash can went flying and I found it 7 blocks over one day on my walk we had no internet or data for 2 weeks and then work had no power, I was working at the steel plant at the time when it hit I was outside in a forklift. So glad yall are safe.
Thanks

This weather this year has been really active this year so far glad yall safe out there
Yes it has and thank you.
i saw that this is like a land hurricane and someone from new york (long island) when you have things outside like plastic chairs or trampolines when they start blowing it’s better to brave the storm and go get them so they don’t hit windows or cars or ever trees and weaken them because the worst that can happen is that something hits a tree (like a grill” and pushes it with the wind because when the tropical storm hit us in new york it had 75 mph gusts and took down hundreds of trees
This lady is a wonderful mother. She's well knowledgeable about severe weather. Her husband is a wonderful father. Really great he's also knowledgeable about severe weather. I notice the kids are knowledgeable about severe weather. They probably do very well in school.
Thank you so much ☺️
I remembered seeing this on Las Vegas news tbh it's all over the news prayers go out to yall ❤
We were hit here in the quad cities as well I sit outside in the garage and watched it glad you are all safe
Glad you're safe as well.
Imagine living in southeast Georgia we out up with that kind of humidity everyday lo l
Sending so many prayers to us all well come back stronger 💪
OH MY GOD! that was a terrible storm. I live in Illinois and we had it bad but not as bad as Iowa. Glad you all were safe.
We got this storm in Sterling IL. The winds weren't 140 mph, but it still knocked out the power.
Glad you're safe.
@@LoveJarVlogs It's also so funny how a plastic toy car stood but the grill was blown over.
We live in 100% humidity with Temps in the 100s for at least 3 months out of the year. We have a storm like this at least twice a year. But our Infrastructure is built to withstand high winds.
that same storm hit my area in Illinois Chicago to be exact lots of down trees and branches everywhere but luckily did not lose power
I live in Cedar Rapids, and i saw the absolute worst, it was far more than trees losing some branches. I was fortunate to get my power back the day after, but people went nearly 2 weeks without power, and some buildings got their roofs ripped straight off. Glad you guys were okay!!
Glad you are okay too.
2012, 2012 in June I got hit by a deracho... I will never forget the pure power of it and I hope you're okay!
Glad you were spared from the storm. Consider yourself lucky. Enduring 100 MPH winds for 40 minutes was a living nightmare. Then 13 days without electricity. Ugh.
We were very lucky, I cannot even imagine.
I remember this day because we looked at the radar map and the storm it looked like japan and then the news came out to us that a tornado has touched down and I was scared I went to the basement and my dad was angry and he was like WATCH THE NEWS AND WERE GOING TO BE FINE!! And I am scared but the storm has passed
I was in cr when it hit was pretty intense! I've been in few hurricanes and bout the same but hurricane last like hour or so
I was in the direct part of the storm, it was terrifying and all I could here is the windows shaking up above me and it sounded like shattered glass, I thought that the roof was gone also because of how high the winds were blowing. The thing that suck and my brother and I had no clue what was going on outside because our power went out the first few minutes of the storm hitting
Glad you are safe, so sorry you had to go through that.
@@LoveJarVlogs thank you and hopefully no one will have to go through it again anytime soon
Hi. Your children are so cute! I really have nothing to say. I was looking for tornado videos and stumbled on this.
Thank you
Same! I was just scrolling on vidoes and i found this on Recomended
I'm in Iowa, and the derecho was quite a shock. My power was out for 4 days, and I was sweating! Thankfully our neighbors helped us rake up leaves and pick up branches, so all was okay!
It is a blessing to have wonderful neighbors like that 😀
Oh no another leak, o rd to much rain and wind. That must be tuff. I'm glad it can at least be addressed.
I’m in maquoketa and we had lots of trees down but you guys in Cedar Rapids got hit worst!! I’m praying for all of CR for a fast recovery!
We were very lucky here in Dubuque as well.
I live in Clinton Iowa and we had 112mph winds. It was awful. We were out of power for 9 days. It was interesting and people are still cleaning up almost a month later. It was so scary. I’m glad you all made it through okay. That poor grill lol
So sorry 🙏we were very lucky compared to many places hope all is well for you now.
On December 15th we were left without power until 4 a.m. on Thursday
I have a friend in cedar rapids and in one of the counties that got hit hard. We couldn't get a hold of her for 2 days! So thankful everyone is ok
Thank you how is she doing?
@@LoveJarVlogs great! The power has been back on a while. She said it just kinda looks like a war zone with all the damage in town. But there car was fine there apartment building was fine and her and her husband are safe. 👌
I like your young son analysis of what is happening & the weather
Oh man, Aspen's grill fell over! At least you guys saved his Grill! Glad you’re ok.
I remember the news broadcasters didnt get serious until it started hitting around marshalltown area which marshalltown sent in real damaging reports to other counties in iowa that it wasnt just a thunderstorm
That’s crazy! Hope you guys are safe!
Absolutely amazing that you had power all through the storm
We were very blessed.
I had 60-65 gusts in Peoria IL along with siding and tree damage
Glad you’re safe.
I was hoping you all were alright. I took a video of it when it hit Indiana. My friend Scott, who works for a radio station in Iowa, warned me to be very careful. He had told me it was really bad. And even though it had died down a bit in Indiana it was not a storm to be messed with! I am so glad you are ok.
You too and thank you.
We get so many severe thunderstorms and tornado watchs warnings ! Hope you are all well ! Its a year ago today I had gotten Milo the hyper kitty . Had him 3 months and since Feb 8th its 7 months Ive had my little Midnight Baby ! Am happy ever since but miss Mr Dickens my 15 year old cat but he was a meanie most of the time !
I remember being affected by this, I was sleeping and when it happened my grandma woke me up and I was terrified. It only lasted a couple minutes and we had no power for 3 days, also a tree fell and busted a hole through our roof.
I am so sorry you had to go through that.
Your son definitely has a future in either broadcasting or meteorology. Very cool!! 👍👍👍👍
We had a derecho in Newmarket Ontario in may 2022 it was extreme and tornado in uxbridge Ontario I hope your neighborhood is ok
Wow that’s devastating, up in Minnesota on Friday we got a beautiful derecho but nowhere near yours
Glad your safe🌟
You too.
Jeez I can't imagine those storms and that humidity hope all of you are safe
Thank you
Hi Christi, that was some storm you had there, pleased you are all safe, so after getting through that your sink and toilet get blocked and you have a leaking pipe, water falling outside and inside, hope it is all sorted now
It is but the sewage on the walls was not pleasant 😂🤢
He's quite the little weather man with showing us the maps
this year had some crazy weather
Y’all ain’t seen super hot humid until you come to Mississippi lol
That was crazy wind love ❤️ jar
I live in Pennsylvania and it was very humid today too
It is supposed to be in the nineties here all week.
@@LoveJarVlogs Wow it’s supposed to be 91 here today
Thr car: "I'm still standing! Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
lol 🤣
My house has fence down, my friends camper nearly missed being destroyed, neighbors roof off. Glass broken. Devastation. I’m in Clinton county and it’s a warzone.
So sorry you are going through this. Glad you’re safe.
Thanks! We are fine. Prayers for y’all.
Im from Cedar rapids n damn i was scared af i thought i was about to fly away to kansas n follow the yellow brick road .....didnt see this coming at all my tv was off that morning n had no alert on my phone i have to update that
I live in Newton Iowa yes those winds were super strong, blew trees down plus power lines.......no power for 7 days.
Glad you’re safe. Do you have power now?
@@LoveJarVlogs.....yes
I think you have a really smart weather man! Cute little guy!
Thank God y’all are okay. I saw a news footage of that derecho. That was insane
I was in Chicago and 13 reports of tornados happened and I remember when I heard the sirens I started crying
That can be scary.
Gosh the kids grew up so fast. I hope your family is safe and doing well. Looks like little man may be a future meteorologist 😂
Lol he sure gets excited about the weather 😀
I'm glad u were all safe. It pretty much went around us here.
Yeah we were very lucky here.
I should have filmed in North Texas when we got a really bad storm it knocked out power and knocked down trees and power lines! At least no tornadoes
If it was known it was coming, why did no one go out and at least get that latter and small things put up?
That's so scary. Glad yall okay, tho.
They probably didn't know it was coming because storms like this are unpredictable and most times are ruled as thunderstorms so they probably didn't think it would be this bad
No one knew it was coming..
I was part of this didn’t watch the news in our basement no power one day scary as heck. Made me hate storms till this day. I can’t even survive a storm upstairs anymore. I have to be downstairs or I’m crying horribly now.
I am sorry storms I have had that effect on you. They can be very scary.
these clouds are dangerous and can bring 90 mph wind gust but surprisingly maybe no tornado
These were category 2-4 speeds depending on where you live.
hurricane : I don’t wanna make the kid cry THE KIDS CAR STANDS Wind : But- Hurricane :I SAID DON’T MAKE THE KID CRY
♥️
I live mid des Moines, I was on the news, trampoline was picked up, slammed into a skinny tree and wrapped around it. Our estimated 100ft tree was uprooted and was thrown diagonally, nobody was hurt but it was terrifying..
Wow 😳 that’s insane! Glad you’re safe.
Yea the power went out for like couple hrs and almost everybody had to go to Iowa City I live in a town called west liberty that storm was horrific the power went out bc the town that I live in a tree fell on a power line and a fire started I hope y'all were ok
Man the wind is strong up to 140 mph
Why did you not just get a big bucket under the pipe leak?
