Powerful Squall Line - Joplin, MO
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2009
- Took this footage in Joplin, MO as a powerful and destructive squall line swept through town. Winds reached speeds of 80mph accompanied by large hail in spots. Hail reached nickel size at my location. May 8, 2009 7am
The storm before the tornado. Two years later, the tornado. Also this should've been like this: 80 mph winds and 5 inches of rain.
Easily one of the best videos of a fast-moving Squall Line that I've ever seen! Great video!
This is a weather event I have seen several times in NC. Called a QLCS event its a line of violent wind and thunderstorms that form ahead of a cold front. The last time was about 10 years ago and was forecasted a day at least before. I wasn't prepared for the it isn't here but now it is suddenness driving from work and suddenly hit by near hurricane force winds. Fortunately it s over almost as sudden. Unfortunately it's said NC and SC experience 90% of the tornadoes we have from QLCS squalls. They can spin up with little warning but most are weak and short lived.
May 22 2011 tornado victim Will Norton posted a video about this particular storm. Said he was driving to school when it hit. Irony in it's saddest form =[
Perfect timing of the railroad engine blaring the coming of the storm.
This actually reminded me of the intense squall line that formed on May 22, 2011 when that tornado came through your beautiful city! Someone else has a video of that storm developing outside Joplin, and those winds picked up so fast. The rain and hale was so bad you could hardly see in front of you. Hearing other videos, (yes, I'm totally blind), reminded me of it, too. If it'd been late afternoon when this one took place, I'll bet you would have had a horrific tornado! You guys dodged a bullet that morning! The thunder and lightning from the 2011 tornado was absolutely horrific! I've been through two tornadoes, and being blind my whole life, I can actually say that I'm glad I couldn't see it. I heard them and even felt them as they nearly destroyed our house and wiped out other homes just yards away from us. The ear-popping is unmistakable. I can also feel when we're going to have one, and I've warned people in the past when we were about to have one. Forty-five minutes later on one afternoon, it came within about a 10th of a mile from our building at work, and I remember feeling the air rising for about 10 minutes as it formed. Then, one of my co-workers's husband, a courier with Fedex, came in with his uniform covered in blood and glass from his van, and that made it even more horrifying. That was a third tornado, but it didn't hit us, so I don't consider myself and everyone else there with me as having been in that one. It's terrifying!
That was a supercell
This is amazing! I was watching it all unfold that morning on radar, but now to see the actual storm itself is something else! Glad you were safe during that storm!
That is one fierce storm! Great coverage. Loved the birds chirping at the beginning of the video. I appreciate that you didn't play music or talk through the video. We got to experience all of the sounds of the storm.
I guess this was 2 years before the killer tornado hit Joplin. This is a very good video.
Best video I have seen of a derecho. More people need to make videos like this!
That's an intense storm. I am learning more about weather and always read about squall lines but have only seen pictures. This video was excellent in showing real time footage of the storm's progression
That is incredible! The approach of the storm is awesome - I've never seen a storm move that quickly. It looks so amazingly insidious.
I'd love to have been there.
Wouldn't be the first time a derecho run through Missouri. Then 2 years later from this....May 2011, changed everything about Joplin.🌪
It being in the early morning makes it creepier. Very ominous sight in the distance. The delivery of power, with strength, with speed in an enormous, VERY dangerous storm.
Being a weather nerd, I've always wanted to see something like this in person...but then again, I also don't...
Same!
Beautiful Dericho! expressive winds, and has the characteristics of a HP supercell, i'm suprised there was't a few short lived tornadoes drop out of the cloud ceiling of the initial front base of the disorganized shelf cloud.
This is the storm that Will Norton made a video about and stated that he thought he was gonna die driving thru this intense weather, & we all know what happened to him 2 yrs later on May 22...unbelievable sad story...
Wow.
I'm sry, but what happened?
@@lindashapeshifter8675 So Will Norton was driving home from his graduation when he got hit by an EF-5 tornado. It was sure devastating and now it's 2020.
Oh Geez- I'm so sry to hear that. I live in Alberta Canada, where we don't really see tornados, so I can only imagine
Maybe he should've taken cover instead of chasing storms. DARWIN AWARD!
If only the people of Joplin Missouri knew of the devastating hell that would hit them just two years later in the same month that this video was recorded.
Did that woman just take her son/daughter for a ride straight toward all those power flashes?
Lucywon yup
Hear the birds going crazy before the storm
this feels like a supercell
Next to the hurricane vids, this is the best storm footage on youtube and thanks for posting my friend. This is a every afternoon thing down here in south florida in the summer lol Thanks for the share BO
Danny
dan mullin hurricanes are boring to watch. Tornadoes are more exciting to me.
That is one awesome storm. The powerful winds must have really intensified the hail damage, too.
Crazy! I've been to Missouri just a few times but when I am there it seems like mother nature always puts on a real show. I have to wonder though were the lady and her child had to go that was so important they couldn't wait out the storm.
Just noticed how much the wind speed picks up after the storm front passes around 2:10!
It's actually called a gust front 😉👍☺👌
Just beautiful. Thank you for that wonderful video.Thunder storms rock.
i am feeling pity for the two people that went somewhere in the car.
hasan aasim same here. I really hope they made it safely out of there
Me too!
Only pity for the child. The adult should have known better.
That area of the US gets hit a LOT by storms, and I guess you have to keep trucking along. She probably had to go to work/take the child to daycare.
I was the same way it seems like right when she pull off with her child the wind pick up
do you live in Joplin? are you ok after the huge tornado of may 22th, and what with your house and your neighbours?
greets from belgium!
i saw one squall line from the plane and i though it was the most beautiful fascinating thing I had ever seen.... but of course i am aware they can be dangerous and destructive.
I just love a good ol' summer thunderstorm.
Absolutely amazing storm footage, just said that something much, much worse hit two years later.
GENE: Never been out there in this storm like this!!! LOUISE: A lot of lightning were in 2009 when we were alive.
Best footage i've seen of a approaching derecho. I'm surprised your power didn't go out even though there were multiple power flashes seen.
Nice video, wxchaserJ! WOW! That was an awesome squall line! :D
This is surreal knowing a third of the town would be demolished barely more than 2 years later.
It's beautiful, sucks that it caused damage and power outages though. I've always loved storms on a deep level.
I wish it rain like that in Los Angeles.. Thank you for posting
It doesn't rain in L.A. I remember last year it didn't rain from March until Halloween where I live.
Rob McGregor That’s how Mediterranean climates are like with mild, year-long temps, dry summers and wet winters. California and the West Coast in general is no alien to this kind of weather but it is definitely not too common since this kind of weather usually happens during spring through fall and that window of time is the dry times for places with such climates.
Rob McGregor But I’d bet you were surprised this winter since it was a very wet winter and so wet in fact it left California virtually drought-free which hasn’t happened since about in years! I know thunderstorms and hailstorms are not too common in California, but California definitely sees rain.
Many ef5 tornadoes, but Joplin and El Reno looked different
I love the sound of the birds
To everyone angry at the car leaving: this was before the tornado, we had bad storms basically every other week and frankly this want too unusual, pretty damn windy, but nothing really dangerous. The only damage done was some tree limbs down and a TV station poll tower (I don't know the official name) and that simply landed on a parked car, so you had just as much of a chance of it landing on your house. And this was around time for school, so the dedicated students had to get there on time. :)
It was evident that the weather was risky.
I feel bad for Joplin. First a squall line,then a tornado.
This was the craziest storm I've ever been in. Almost a solid hour of non stop hellatious winds! I'm suprised we didn't get more damage than we did.
who was the lady with child that drove away? what were they thinking?
Is this the same Joplin that got erased from the map by a giant Tornado only two years after this video was shot?
Yep
I wish i could say no
yep
yeah that was so deadly
Very cool video.
The winds in this video are around 30 mph. No where near 80 mph.
Beautiful!
If only they knew...
I was watching this when I was little just my first time i was 6 years old this film just saw came out and now to old I am 17 so I was watching this it good
I remember when this happened we got dime sized hail and almost 100 mph winds we live close to main in webb city
I love joplin. Reminds me of the past there!
That was so perfect, the little bird is chirping... Then u see that shit move in so quick! Did that lady actually drive into that storm w her kid!!! Wow!
The child was going to school
The sinister approach of ungodly devastation....
Love these storms but definitely do not love when people are hurt in any way. Glad you were being careful.
BEAUTIFUL
Not gonna lie that looked like an RFD, can u tell the difference between an intense storm and an RFD without knowing or seeing a tornado in the area
Guess this neighborhood got wiped out durring the 2011 ef5 tornado.
Ya
I wonder how many views this video had prior to the Joplin tornado
THIS WAS AMAZING! i was amzed we had no power for 6 days!
that squall line is like "shut up! Now I 'll speak my own sermon"
The Cardinal was warning everyone to get under cover.
It is a good storm video. Pretty mean squall line, those straight line winds were something else.
Wow, You can hear the train sound. Great video and sound.
Oh that was beautiful. That day was a bad day. First the storm.. then losing power for about 2 days.. and that was the day we also put a friends cat to sleep. I loved the storm though.
There's a video titled "Inland Hurricane derecho So Illinois May 8, 2009."
I'm surprised those two decided to set out when they did and I would have turned back after 30 seconds and put my car in the garage!
This was an intense microburst.
Awesome!!!
There were 2 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, then there was a Tornado Warning.
This is the storm that willdabeast88883333 was talking about. He said that he nearly died in that storm.
You can hear the power lines arching at 2:20.
This is incredible. Could I use this for a school project?
1:22 i hear the freight train sound everyone describes!!!
That was an actual train, you heard the whistle. In a tornado, you don't hear any whistle, you hear the sound a freight train makes as it roars along the tracks, and it literally sounds like it's going to come through your house.
Nice train horn sound
That Car Go Storm Chasing : )
Scares the shit out of me every time when he puts his hand in front of the camera at 2:25...
i was in school when this happend they sent us into the basement
little did they know, the place was going to be obliterated in 2 years...
So this happened in joplin a few years before the tornado hit them
Man that is freaking bad ass
Poor Joplin gets some violent weather!!!
@UtahMike41 That storm lasted 45 minutes. Winds howling all that time. I wondered the same about the Lady and kid.
Tree verses tree who won? I hope everyone was safe
beatiful storm
I felt sad that your town has been destroyed by a EF5 Tornado. I bet your place has the most violent thunderstorms
Wonder if this guy made it through the '11 Tornado. Hope so.
Power flickered at the end of the video, didn't it?
Un orage incroyable.
my god i've seen a squall line
you notice it when it gets dark
Wait are those Cleveland pear trees?
Sure looked like a funnel on right where power flashes were
That was definitely nasty!! 😳
Did you have southeast winds as inflow? Outflow winds west?
Holy shit!! 😨😨
They say power flash, I say lightning!
Now if only nature can get something like that to come through Cicero, Illinois, where I have a dining canopy exclusively retrofitted for severe weather, and where I can sit under the canopy and videotape the storm.
This sounds like Minecraft thunder 3:04
I saw several power flashes. Without fail, they tell you where the gust front is. Good video, jsut wish you would've caught the winds after the storm, they were much stronger. Hell, they toppled the KSN tower.
scary video all prayers go to yall!
This looks like a very bad storm it seems like it’s moving quickly tho
That'll get your attention!
My grandfather dies that day it was the worste day of my life my B-day was 10 days after I cried for week I think the storm was my grandfathers passing.
