- My security camera captured the storm as it rolled through on Monday. This is the complete video. Here is the last minute before we lost power: • Derecho Storm 8-10-20,...
Frequently asked questions -
Q. Why did you leave the trashcan out?
A. It was garbage day. My neighborhood has 2 different trash collection services so we all have different pickup days. Also, I was out of town when this happened but had I been home, I typically head for cover when I hear sirens instead of worrying about where my trash is :) The trash can is recovering but still performing well.
Q. Why is there a bus driving down the street??
A. This was a few weeks before school started so the busses were timing pickup/drop off times to know when to tell kids to be at the various stops.
Q. Why does the sidewalk end at your house?
A. I live next to an empty lot that no one seems too anxious to build a new home on so I guess the city decided it wasn't necessary? People just walk through the grass to get to the next section.
Q. Did the sunflowers survive?
A. Yes! The 2 you see by the driveway grew to over 12 feet tall. My office faces the window so I got to many people in the neighborhood stop to take photos with them.
'That's not a storm you should see what happened in X' - I get it, I realize my town didn't get hit nearly as hard as some. I was without power for less than 24 hours, others were without for weeks. I had no real damage even through it does look pretty bad.
'What a waste of time' 'There goes 10 minutes I'll never get back' - No one forced you to watch but thanks for taking time to comment! - Zábava
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.
Geoffrey Bradford 🙌🏾💯
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.
Wow. That's true.
My question is why the fudge was that stupid bus doing dropping off kids during this crap huh??someone needs to go jack slap that dang driver..
@@gaylenewood7707 did u not watch the beginning of the video? Everything was completely calm and changed within 5 minutes. The bus was in route taking the kids home how were they to be warned? I siren went off like 2 minutes before shit got real. There wasn’t enough time to prepare.
@@jenniferkelly1343 no but they could've all evacuated into one of the basements with one of the kids parents.
Yup
Perhaps the most chilling part of this is when the sounds of nature stop. Not the siren, but the silence from the birds and insects.
My biggest stomach drop was when the bus went by, because it was a short bus and some of the kids on there might have been sensitive to sensory overload (when any kid already would've been scared) and they wouldn't have had their counselors or parents with them. Hope any kids on any busses were all OK:(
@@gingechicken7394 my thoughts exactly 💙
@@gingechicken7394 I just read the description where the owner answers some questions and it states that this was before school started and the buses were doing trial runs, so no children where in the bus. Hope that makes you feel better, because once I saw your comment and then the bus I got worried too.
@@mtb1202 awesome, thank you for finding out!
The birds and other critters are too smart to stick around
Plants: aaaaaaa help
Trash can: hehe wind go brrrr
This looks like a typical afternoon rain storm in SW Florida in the summer
The wind blows 140 mph during an average rainstorm in Florida? I'm having a hard time believing that.
@@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.
@@tvold9204 The highest measured wind speed during the derecho was 126 mph. I highly doubt typical Florida thunder storms produce that kind of wind. I lived in Louisiana during Rita, Katrina and countless other hurricanes. Fun times.
@@m3htt 1: what city?
2: where are your sources?
Hurricane rita and katrina hit opposite sides of louisiana.
Rita affected texas and la while katrina affected la and Mississippi.
You were in the rainbands.
tip in life : be as strong and bold as that garbage can
jojeleine claire yes!
It gave its all in valor and fortitude!
I was expecting it to be two blocks away.
It wasn't a full garbage can, but whatever was inside it was REALLY heavy, lol.
@@su-rv2uq It shall ride eternal, shiny, and chrome.
After scanning the comments, I’m happy to know I wasn’t the only one rooting for that trash can! 😁😂
He ate a really big meal
In weathering the storm, remember that even GARBAGE CAN.
Screw the trash can. Did no one else notice the white pin wheel behind the tall flower in the forefront? Like, that little guy was so strong!
Lol 😂
I thought it would end up in another zip code. 😆🤣😂
Them : rooting for the trashcan
Me : that one little white flower in the middle right is tough AF
😆🤣
Bahahaha
Whenever there are high winds in the U.K., it’s always funny to see the wheely bins (as we call them) rushing down the street.
6:03 Timbeerrr! Thud.
7:06 BUUURP! (Couldn’t resist!)
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*.
Nothing makes my blood run cold like a tornado siren
Couldn’t agree more
Hard agree
O the air raid siren is even worse
Indeed.
@@jdubskiwright2380 omg talk about eeriiiiieeeee!!!
Everyone: Woo! Go trashcan!
Mailbox: am i a joke to you?
I was watching both! The person who made the mail box made it strong.
Plants ( yay cheer for the trash can made by Rubbermaid. And mailbox. But for get us poor plants )
Trashcan ( sorry plants )
Mailbox ( yeah sorry plants )
Seems trash cans are a safe place to be in a tornado
@Clumsy Kianna wHaT aBoUt ThE gUtTeR sYsTeM?¿?
But the pin wheel!! No one noticed the pin wheel!!
That bin is impressive. It just SAT there without moving for so long. Even when it's down it just refuses to budge! That's a bin with balls!
Nah it has a lot of heavy trash in that trash can so it wont budge
Dwl 🤣🤣🤣
Loaded with cat litter! Heavy af.
.
And the lid even waved...
😂😂😂😂😂
This would be a great ad campaign to sell this particular trash can 😂
The most Iowa thing about this.....
School bus driving down like no big deal
NBD?
Not my business i think
Miss T ‘no big deal’
Bourne ‘no big deal’ nbd
The other works too haha
Nbd (no big deal)
The city decided to end the sidewalk program at your house?
Lol 🤣😂
🤣🤣🤣
Yo! Wtf type of goober shit is that? I've never seen a sidewalk end. It's creepy.
Government bureaucracy at its finest.
Probably the nextdoor neighbors declared they were NOT going to pay city taxes, so ... I notice there are no trees in front of that property, either.
That garbage can was like "uhhh.....guys.....it's kinda windy....."
Two minutes later "GUYS HELP ME UP! I CAN'T GET UP!"
Ms frizzle saying seatbelts everyone we are going into the 🌪️ when you see the magic school bus
Lol yes! I loved that show!
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.
I’m from Oklahoma and drove through Tuscaloosa after the 2011 Tornado.....it was shocking to see the devastation. 🥺
I lived in Madison County at that time, it was so scarier.
It took my son 4 hours to get out of ttown to Bham to the gump.
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.
I agree!
RIP Trash can! Was anyone else waiting to see at what time the Trash can would die. That was one tough trash can...Time of death...6:01
Oh yeah. When I saw the thumbnail that showed the trash can, I knew before watching this that it was going to be gone.
Edit: I watched the entire video, and the trash can never blew down the street. The sheer weight of the can's balls must have held it in place.
Or there was a body in the can. Who knows.
@Choo Choo LOL me too!
But it never left. What the hell was in it? Lol
@@richardbeebe6172 that's what I was wondering, must have been something heavy LoL
@@davidmmuench I know. I was wondering when the garbage can was going to start rolling down the road. But, it never happened. Wow.
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!!! ❤️
Whoa - That's Wild.
“Derecho” - my new word of the week, thank you!
The sirens make a beautiful yet so post-apocalyptic and haunting sound.
That's really similar to the Dodge City siren.... here's a good example; czcams.com/video/XLJYg9GBd2E/video.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)
These sounded like the ones that continuously rotate 360°.
I rather like the sound of tornado sirens.
@@WokerThanThou they are
I love how the captions say "music" when the camera is hit by wind gusts
Legend Playz LOL...it’s because this is what Vin Diesels new song sounds like 😂😂😂
Legend Playz, As in one man’s trash is another man’s treasure ! And so it is with music !
Mine said music for the siren and applause for the wind. I thought to myself “Yeah, in Satan’s world”!
Sirens go off.
Caption: applause
My anxiety for the trashcan 💯 and then my anxiety seeing the school bus 1000%. 🤣🤣
Legend has it that everyone is still waiting to see "chaos".
Yeah, I saw a rainstorm not much more.
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 !
the eerie silence before the storm was wild too
Here in Florida it's quiet before the sky turn black and the wind gusts to 30 mph. Then the rain comes in buckets. Trash cans don't stand a chance..
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
I think the little white flower that I was rooting for is actually a lawn ornament but it sure held on
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
When mother nature gets pissed off with a giant leaf blower
Weather warfare... wake up
It even sounds like an electric leaf blower with the sirens XD
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.
But the school bus was on the road
That stillness is so scary. It’s the calm before the storm. 🙏🏻
I was driving on the highway in Wisconsin when this thing hit us. I almost couldn't keep my truck on the road. It was insane!
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.
There terrifying but honestly it does get your attention
@@StarTrekerYT0 true
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.
@@deniserossiter1059 Yea same with Illinois and especially Chicago, pretty much Chicago turn into Antarctica if there was a city there
ME TOO! I didn't know there was such a thing
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.
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.... 🌻🌻
That trashcan can withstand more than most relationships nowadays.
All I gotta say is why did everyone else forget about trash day .....
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!
If you look closely you can see Jim Cantory struggling to stay on his feet yelling at the television camera.
🤣🧥🌧☔️💨
Cantore will “brave” any storm to be on camera. I change the channel now when he comes on. How many times do we have to watch him stand in a hurricane to know that it’s windy. He did crack me up during a downtown report. He was out in the snowstorm and
He was out in a snowstorm and was frightened by a “thunder snow” and let out a yelp like a little kid. They cut away so he could regroup.
😂😂😂
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!
The whole time I was thinking wow those are some strong plants.
There's something about tornado sirens that gives me the creeps. They're so eerie sounding.
It's literally alarming heh, with that sounds comes great anxiety.
Add in the NOAA storm warning dude that lists off counties and the full creeps sets in.
@@BrodeyDoverosx
Then the anxiety goes into *overdrive*
Definitely. It’s traumatizing!
@@BrodeyDoverosx It sounds so computerized and creepy. Feel like I’m in a scary movie or something.
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!
He held his own!
So......do you get in a nasty trash can with maggots or not now?? 🤷♀️
Your silly but I did lol
I love your sense of humor!!
You have a great sense of humour
Makes me think it was Florida the way the storm all of a sudden pops up
Not even 5 minutes to turn what seems like a calm, cloudy day into "all hell breaks loose" wow....
Scary.
🚌 School bus driver was like get me the hell out of here!!!!
Uu
I hope the kids were off and safe! But driver was like, 'Annie get your gun and let's make tracks!'...
Vivian S how do u know it was kids on there
Lol
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..
Yeah, that sounds just like the Iowa one. Every time it gets windy, I get a little knot in my stomach!! I was without power for 12 days.
@@derito5616
Ah, I see the Derecho gave you PTSD as well
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.
@@tinydancer7426 I remember that one. I was in high school and my nieces and nephew were at our house with my parents. No basement and we just huddled in our laundry room with pillows and prayed. I remember seeing lightning on the ground
@@KiraNightshade Where were you located? Here in MD or a neighboring state. I don't remember lightning at all, just the crazy high winds and torrential downpours. What amazed me was that my EMPTY a been because trash cans didn't move at all. Musta been that my shed, while not actually shielding the trash cans, was close enough to break up the wind. But my tumbling composter sure was spinning ..... the vegetation inside got stirred together REAL good. :0D
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
I love how the bus and work truck just cruise through like nothings going on 🤣
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.
Omg! So intense, I just kept wanting to tell someone save the pretty plants. I felt so bad watching them whipping around like that.... Hope your garden survived
I was pulling for the sunflowers.
Tornado siren: blaring

I originally thought this storm must have been bad. But then I noticed the trash can. What the hell was in that thing? Bowling balls? Definitely the unsung hero of this video. It handled that storm like a BOSS!! Downright heroic. Hardly moved at all. Just tipped over, yet barely moved an inch afterwards.
Next category one hurricane I'm jumping in one of those Iowa strong trash container s. Damn thing didn't move more than two feet. Hang in there Iowa😉
Craig Clayton , it was probably full of ears of corn
Top trash can. In fact I thought it must be a fire hydrant or mail box it was so well planted in. In fact if you're desperate for shelter I'd dive into that.
That is what I am thinking. Trash cans save lives
What the hell is in that garbage can bricks of iron?
they weren't hit the hardest where I am everything but like cars where flying and 85 mph winds

Lived in Illinois for 63 years and I must say this looks like a typical summer storm complete with tornado sirens.
Yep. I'm from Arkansas, and if there's not enough, home, roof , or tree damage, it's just a rascally normal storm.
I live here in Iowa and yeah once or twice the season we get get this here if we do get a tornado it lasts 2 seconds if that or we just get the strong winds

@Daniel Serrot Yeah, that's normal where I'm from.
@@heatherphillips5983 not for that long of a period lol. Get off your high horses. Not the only ones who live in tornado alley and many others can admit this wasn't normal
This isn't "moments" before a storm. It's 9 minutes before a storm. And "chaos"? A garbage can fell over. And didn't blow away. There may have been a bad part of the storm but it missed this house. This is a mild Florida rain storm.
I live in Ankeny and woke up as the first siren ended. Looked outside and it was nearly pitch black. The wind picked up so fast and the rain that came down was insane! Fun little fact: this storm rolled across the entire state of Iowa. It destroyed thousands of acres of crops, blew buildings apart, and thousands of people lost power for at least a week. A derecho is basically like an inland hurricane and we had zero time to prep for this. Take a look at some footage from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This was no “mild storm”.
@@krystalbauer967 At this house it was. Hardly chaos. I've seen the cedar rapids footage. That's chaos.
@@nativeson2633 Oh definitely! This door bell cam, cool as it is, didn’t show how nasty the derecho actually was. I wish I had thought to capture what I saw first hand at my place. It was insane! The winds were so crazy it was sucking the door open, I’ve never seen rain like that and watching huge tree limbs crash across the street was just nuts. And like a true Iowa idiot, I drove around town a while later and was gobsmacked! Power lines down, trees split in half, crops flattened…. I felt both blessed and saddened.
Why did you ruin this for us?
Yes I knew the can survived down but not out🙃
These comments are hilarious. After I read your description I hit like before watching, love your sense of humor!
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.
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.
Imagine being in those blue porta potties when you hear that siren go off. 🙃😅
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.
Me betting on what time frame this garbage can is going to fly.
Ikr , lol..
same
Yup
it must have been heavy as it tipped over and didn't blow off
My First thought too.
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
Wow, those sunflowers were standing their ground. They were determined to stay put. Must be all the love they feel there. ;)
When I'm watching something where people's property is damaged and possibly people are losing their lives, I can't say I ENJOYED watching it, but I sure did find it amazing! Like many other people who made comments, I was rooting for that trash can. "Come on, little guy, you can make it!"
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
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
What have you done today? "I watched an overturned garbage can for 10 minutes. Men staring at garbage cans..."
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 !

Notice the resiliency of the sunflowers, despite being top-heavy they were able to handle the big wind. Intelligent design.
Watched this on sweltering hot day in england, strangely relaxing. Cheers
I want a relationship as sturdy as that trash 🗑
Even though fall together like it but we stick together 🤣 ikr
Sturdy.
Exactly
From the moment I started watching this video, all I could think about is... 'wonder where that trash can is gonna fly off to?'
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. 😂
im very proud of the flowers in your yard staying standing through all that!
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!
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.
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
That one flower just swaying back and forth.. This is how you chill...
Oh yeah,god put Tornado sirens on this earth just to make my hair stand up.Better than anything on Halloween.

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.
I lived in Ankeny that day, on College Street of 1st Dtreet. I've been through 5 tornadoes in my 55 years living, and none of them were as terrifying as the derecho storm that day.
I used to live off NE 36th & Delaware Ave but moved out of state in 2019, can’t help but think about how scared my two young kids would’ve been & also me!!
The mourning dove is a nice touch... just a peaceful morning to sip a coffee...

Well played sir!!!
The trash can was returned unhurt and spotless. The roses remain " shaken"♡
Sunflowers were like, "I have no idea what is happening.......!"
Wow. Amazing! Those poor plants. I was just waiting for that garbage can to tip over and start moving down the street. Glad your pretty trees and plants seem to have made it okay. Thanks for sharing.
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.
LOVE the Air Raid Sirens! They remind me of the "A-Bomb Drills" we had at school, when I was a kid!
That trashcan was a warrior🙌
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!
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.
We here in NW Ohio experienced one in 2012. Still miss all the old barns!!!! Changed our landscape forever.
I’m a little confused, cause I was expecting much more. This just looks like a storm with some moderate wind. I’m wondering if I’ve been like, desensitized to storms from living in Tennessee. They can get bad here.
It doesn’t look terrible at this angle, but the wind speed was awful and you can moreso hear it than see it at around 7:26 when it looks to be the worst of it. The best explanation of a derecho that I can give is that they’re almost like if you took a strip from a hurricane but it can sustain better on land than an actual hurricane could. The areas that were hit are not accustomed to high hurricane-like speeds and tornadoes did form during it because of the perfect conditions for it.
Check out Cedar Rapids Derecho and you will be silenced.
Okay, I think I’m understanding this phenomenon a little better now that you put it like that. Storms do occasionally get very strong in the Nashville area, but it’s obviously more of like, straight line wind gusts, and it’s not terribly common to have multiple tornadoes fully form and reach the ground.
