Thank you so much for this video.! Minute 4 you drive around a down tree by our water way then min 5 you stopped by our farm house. So glad that those trees did. not fall on you as well as glad you did not end up in the ditch. The window in my childhood blew out of the house. No glass on one inside of the house.... Crazy storm! Thanks for filming it! Glad you were safe.
That is most insane "drive" I've ever seen. I was literally on the edge of my seat! Unreal. You couldn't see a damn thing! You guys sure did stay calm; I'm sure you were freaked out. I honestly would've stayed put for however long it took.
THANK YOU for posting this! Friends of mine have a barn with horses near where you were and they lost their machine shed, grain bin and heavy round bale feeder
I just watched the entire video. I was sitting in my truck just south of where you are at the 12-20 minute mark. I was sitting there the entire length of the video.
Great chase video and great commentary! But as a storm spotter and chaser myself could you please do me a small favor? Please turn off your strobe lights when you are traveling down the road. Unless you are emergency personal they are illegal to use, especially in Illinois. I've known many a people to get tickets for using them. Just looking out for you guys. Stay safe and chase on.
I’ve been in one storm just like this one,in Indiana, back in1968…and in a car….absolutely incredible scary situation to be in….excellent video footage of nature’s power…💯👍👍💯💯👍💯👍
I’m a spotter and this is most insane chase I’ve ever watched. I got caught in this same fast moving system while driving and couldn’t see the road. My top speed was 15 mph for 9 miles with the bright lights on. It was scary and horrible. There were no tornado alarms going off my devices, which kept me calm. The sky had green hues. There was tree damage observed through out the 25 mile trip after the height of this storm. Our crops were safe.
@@TornadoCrewStormChasers I was guessing NW of Effingham County had 80 mph gusts briefly with 60 mph sustained winds where I was located. We had no hail, no flooding, just torrential rain for maybe 20 minutes. This system lasted less than 1 hour. It was a fast moving system in this county.
I do want to state no offence to these guys but i had heard about ours in tulsa an hour before it came. I was watching ryan hall yall live stream before it hit us in tulsa. Took a week for power to be restored to my area. Others still had to wait. So i feel for anyone who had to go threw this anywhere. People dont realize this is all most the worst thing to happen compared to a tornado. I mean tornados are bad and some can be very devastating but these deracho wipe out whole citys not just a path in a city. Now these kinda all depend on wind speeds to. But my heart goes out to all who were effected as well as a massive thank you to the more than 2000 people who came from all over to help repair our power. Im sure the same thing is happening in Illinois and surounding areas that got hit and the several hundred thousand people without power. Please get a generator and if you cant get one get a good 120v inverter connect it to your vehicle and run a small amount of power off of it. Ill you need to by is gas for your vehicle. Thats exactly what i did to run an ac and my fridge. It worked.
We just had one go through north suburbs of Houston. Very scary. I have solar panels and will be installing solar batteries asap!! You just cannot mess with the weather!! Good luck everyone ❤️❤️❤️
@@patigirl2470 yes i would definitely get the solar panels running. Its to bad you live so far away cause i sale deep cycle marine batteries new and used for only $30 and $40 dollars. I sale them so cheap cause not only is it a little more than scrap yards i enjoy helping people out. They dont have to pay hundreds of dollars for a battery. And no you cannot mess with the weather. All you can do is run or hide.
I was driving to my in laws house in this. Only about a mile to the north of where you stopped in the valley. You had just passed Jayne Eckhardy house on the left. Anyway....I could not see the road, so I stopped at first house I came to. Never been so scared in my life. Our property lost the top of one tree and huge branches from the rest. I have a 3 inch diameter branch sticking out of the back of our house.
Heading south put you more into the storm. About 3 miles north and they didn't have as much damage. We drove rhrough LaHarpe yesterday....WOW! When you see damage from tornadoes or derechoes on the screen it looks bad, but in person....it is devastating.
Thank you for posting this video, I live on the farm you stopped at at about 4:40. Most farm bins are gone, some barns, pole barns and some hog barns are gone .Most of the corn is back up but bent bad.
@@TornadoCrewStormChasers My farm came out of in fairly good shape . My next door neighbor lost maybe all his grains. You showed two of his bins sites. The bin you showed and talked to the lady in the lawn care truck that bin west side was totally pushed in on the west side . Two hog barns close to me are gone. It is hard to believe I didn't heal of any deaths or injures
I live in La Harpe. My son and I were home at the time. We had damage to trees, house, and vehicles. It definitely sounded like a tornado to me. I swore the roof had come off. We were all really lucky. After it had passed the town came together and started getting things cleaned up. everyone was helping everyone. It was great to see. We even had our 4th of July fireworks as planned and it was spectacular. A guy I work with showed me the hours long video on facebook, which I don't have, are you going to post that here?
If you get Facebook you can make it as private as you want. If you follow me there you can get live feeds? It's still on there. In the future I may be doing RUclips live feeds also.
I'm from Champaign County working in Pecos, TX, I'm 54 now but when I turned 40 I still lived in Champaign County and at that age I started getting physically ill when the weather would go through a dramatic cycle fluctuating the barometric pressure, I woke up IN PECOS, TX at bout 6AM 06/29/2023 and began to get that illness that comes with a weather change, it lingered most of the day until about 7PM/8PM, it was windy here but nothing out of the ordinary, it wasnt until yesterday 06/30/2023 that I learned of this weather phenom blowing through the US, I didnt have some physical reaction to adverse weather at my home base thing-I'm positive the barometric pressure in Texas was influenced by this storm which made me sick, it was the first time I had got that illness without the weather changing in my direct area
We had a Derecho 3 years ago, almost an hour of 90 mph sustained winds and gusts up to 130 mph, thousands of acres of crop were lost. It ripped our city apart. We feel your pain
No joke this is crazy. Im in tulsa and we got hit around midnight on sunday fathers day and ours didnt last this long it seemed. I had parked on a east side wall cause the wind was blowing from the west to the east. I was very protected and ill tell you although our aftermath was bad and the winds reached 100mph it didint seem as bad where i was parked. Also we didnt get as much rain at that time that i can recall.
I have high powered lights that light the road in front. I have driven in inclimate weather for years. It did get to a point that I couldn't see at all, and pointed the vehicle into the wind.
August 10. It was my birthday and my mother, my daughter, and I took shelter in an covered parking garage in Ames. Took 4 hours to get home - a normal 30 minute drive. Towns and so many farms were just destroyed.
That will probably take some time to get back in service. This is a huge corn area and lots of bins were destroyed. Needed rain not a hurricane on land.
So, you saw how the corn was destroyed? That's why we have this weather now, in the Midwest and alway's around crop time! They are attacking our food supply! This weather is not normal!! 🤨
Glad it ended OK, but derechos should t be messed with. Driving with 0 visibility wasn’t smart. The storm was N-S so it was not going to be better half a mile e-w . That’s a parking it and heads down in the middle of the car. That’s why I have a Nintendo switch in my floor boards 👍
There was rotation and higher wind spikes on radar behind me. My plan was to move south to escape. I then decided to point into the wind for aerodynamic vehicle advantage.
I know you are a storm chaser but that is something you should nto be in too dangerous to even drive in, you could not see anything such as power lines, etc in front of you, if they was to be down, safety 1st and always have an escape path, safety zone planned out
Nobody changed the name, derechos are a whole different category ,the term originated in 1888. Minimum 60 miles x240 mile area with winds in excess of 75 mph . Peak winds up to 130 mph.
@@TornadoCrewStormChasers I wouldn't pop open no window; I'd be afraid of a radical change in the vehicle's buoyancy and then my vehicle goes airborne!
I admire the way you both remained calm during this severe storm. Very scary situation to get caught in out on the road.
Капец ..👍
My family from Laharpe . My great great grandparents are buried in Laharpe cemetery. I hope everyone in that little town is ok and safe .
No fatalities just a lot of property damage.

DERECHOS ARE NOTHING TO MESS AROUND WITH. VERY DANGEROUS 🌪️🌪️🌪️🌪️
And yet they stayed right in its path 😂
THANK YOU for posting this! Friends of mine have a barn with horses near where you were and they lost their machine shed, grain bin and heavy round bale feeder
Looks like houses did ok because they are structurally better built. But shed buildings with sheetmetal get destroyed. Hope the horses were ok.
I feel like I’m watching footage of a hurricane. It’s incredible! And that color, while beautiful, is just so ominous.
Very glad you guys are safe.
Thank you
@@TornadoCrewStormChasersGot to sacrifice safety for content sometimes, right fella’s?

What about your statement was offensive? Did I miss it?
Ryan Hall said nothing covered nothing about this derecho.

My husband said he saw you and your daughter sitting at the grade school in Dallas City before the storm hit.
@dawnmiller4210 yup that was us
I was surprised at how long it lasted. Might top as one of the worst messes I have been in. This really built up bigger than anyone thought.
Thank you for posting this video, I live on the farm you stopped at at about 4:40. Most farm bins are gone, some barns, pole barns and some hog barns are gone .Most of the corn is back up but bent bad.
How is your farm doing? I hope you and your neighbors get back to 100% soon.

I'm in Freeport IL I'm sorry for you guys down south in Illinois it missed me but it was close we need rain not this distruction

I have high powered lights that light the road in front. I have driven in inclimate weather for years. It did get to a point that I couldn't see at all, and pointed the vehicle into the wind.
Can’t believe how can you all were! Glad you were safe. I love storms but I would not have loved that one.
We had 100 mph straight line winds two weeks ago all trees knock down from the straight winds and most 200,000 people without power it was crazy
damn! that was intense!
August 10. It was my birthday and my mother, my daughter, and I took shelter in an covered parking garage in Ames. Took 4 hours to get home - a normal 30 minute drive. Towns and so many farms were just destroyed.
Ive never been in a storm that and hope never to be
We are still without power in Saint Joseph Illinois. Wont be on till sunday. Losing 2 freezers of food and our fridge. No house damage.
Get ice and throw it in your freezer! I just had to do that in Macomb.
Talk to your insurance company. They will reimburse you for $500 for spoiled food. That’s what we did.
100 mph winds cat 2 eyewall of hurricane probably
Those are my grain bins in the distance at 1:15. By 1:40, they are gone!
That will probably take some time to get back in service. This is a huge corn area and lots of bins were destroyed. Needed rain not a hurricane on land.
So, you saw how the corn was destroyed? That's why we have this weather now, in the Midwest and alway's around crop time! They are attacking our food supply! This weather is not normal!! 🤨

Had baseball sized hail and 85 mph winds go through northeast Missouri between 9 pm - 1130 pm.
THAT TORNADO HIT MY SHED >:( I THINK
“This is what I was worried about” Apparently not worried enough to move out of the storm’s path before it hit though’
You both are a better person then I am .
What for sitting in their truck in the path of a dangerous storm? I don’t know if “better” would be the word you’re looking for here. Dumber, maybe?
I was in it in Indiana. My first and it was awesome!!
Try not to part under those power lines… just worried to see them right there. Wow and that was nothing compared to what was to follow!
Dayumm I heard it was bad….but bruh.. dayum!!
That looked like a hurricane eyewall.
It felt like a hurricane. Lasted quite a long time. I cut out a lot from the video.
This is why farmers have to rely on crop insurance!! Wind &/or entire crop, gone in a minute 😵💫😵💫
I know you are a storm chaser but that is something you should nto be in too dangerous to even drive in, you could not see anything such as power lines, etc in front of you, if they was to be down, safety 1st and always have an escape path, safety zone planned out

Is that your daughter in the car with you?
The guy shooting the video kinda sounds like David Letterman.
I have been told that before
@@TornadoCrewStormChasers You also sound like Harrison Ford, man.
Those storms that ripped through Illinois and Michigan were pretty bad.
Co went thru ida. Wasn't that much rain.
I drove through this mess in western Indiana, lots of fun 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never EVA stay under powr lines
The wind was at a slight angle. They would have fell to the northeast.

That's a tornado right there and I can't see past the windshield wipers. Lol
507,000 in 5 states without power.
That green color… rain wrapped
Too bad you could not roll down a car window (away from rain) to film corn.
The telephone poles were laying in the corn I think you can see the corn laying down. After the winds slow down I show the corn and mention it.
@@TornadoCrewStormChasers I wouldn't pop open no window; I'd be afraid of a radical change in the vehicle's buoyancy and then my vehicle goes airborne!
