Family's Dash Cam of Derecho 100mph Storm in Grimes, Iowa on August 10, 2020

- On August 10th, 2020, my wife (Brooke Porter) went to Grimes, Iowa to pick up something from Facebook marketplace. She was not aware of the incoming storm. Our dual dash cam picked up what happened. Thankfully, just a few scratches, broken glasses and a lost stuffed animal. She apologizes in advance for any illegal driving that occurred! 😬 She was using her phone for navigation - proof: ahhyeah.com/wp-content/uploads...
(Thanks to BomgaarsSupply (Bomgaars - Grimes, IA) for the shelter)

Everyone's talking about the young man in the front and the moms steadiness. And rightfully so. However, the quiet resolve of the kid with the "ok youre making it worse" was perfect.
You're absolutely right.
That is what im saying. Gj to them all . The little girl is allowed to cry.
@@dxhfeast9517 exactly. But they stayed calm and made a plan.
Absolutely! You hear him say to the younger girl, "Quiet. Your cryin' is just makin' it worse."😀♥️
Right!😂
The boy in the front seat was impressive. Kept his mother from panicking and told her to go to the store.
Little dude was straight up chill
I thought so too. Good job.
100%!
Wow even at a young age the male brain is more cool calm and collected. ( JK everyone ! Couldn’t resist)
I say they all did an outstanding job, the young girl started to get upset but someone in the back calmed her down. Great work!
That young man emotionally stabilized his mother in a critical moment, she should be extremely proud... raised her kid well!!!
not the mother i guess
The dads going outside to see what’s going on while a family is running inside panicking gets me every time 🤣
image they are all chill watching a family freaking out running towards them.🤣
You ever see those Dad storm videos? They have an out of body euphoric experience.... ahhh look it that.. ahh the thunder...1...2....3. Lightning!!! They are like moths to a flame.
@@alexisnaranjo Nature is beautiful.. you have to just stop and enjoy it in the chaos. Panicking doesn't do anything to help.
My husband did this while my kids and I were in the storm shelter a couple days ago 🤦🏼♀️
Our entire town had crushed cars/houses and news crews here for days afterwards.
Where are you located?
- *Family runs into store in fear of death*
- *3 random people calmly walk out the Store to their car*
I was looking for this comment
It was the store employees coming out to help find my son’s glasses.
Those people all went back in the store at the end.
Was thinking the same thing!!! She is acting like there is a massive tornado coming or something lol
@@ahhyeah forget all these negative comments. I would've done the same. I've been in nasty storms and lost everything. Never worth the risk. Your family did a perfect job at handling that. 👏
The kid in the front seat definitely wouldn’t fold under questioning.
Criminal psychologist here. Only a sociopath wouldnt fold. I dont think this kid is one.
Call this a hunch, but he might have been joking.
Jay El yeah, after a bit of a brainstorm session with the boys, we’ve come to the same conclusion
On foenem!
He’s a real one 🤩
The son sitting next to Mom is so mature and calm. Took care of the whole family. A fine young man!
She thought that was a tornado or something like it, at least. The fact that she has 5 kids in her care and the way her eyes looked around goes to show you she was looking out for the very best of those kiddos and herself. Well done ma'am. Very well done. I tip my hat to the lady driver in this video.
There’s a reason he’s the co-pilot. Ice in his veins.
Facts
sheeeeesshhh
Factual facts
That’s a drug reference
Is there a house near us ...quick thinking young guy
Her asking her son “what should I do” and her son being calm and quick with his response. Please Lord, let that be the dynamic between me and my children. Let me raise them well.
I removed the troll 😉
The husband said she was more so talking to herself
Amen girl, I hope so too. May God give us the cards and may we play them up to his standards.
I wanna raise my kids well to but i always had that doubt :how do you raise your children a certain way and know your doing it right if you only know and experienced one : the way your parents raised you .🤷♂️
Right
High Alert...
Mom did an excellent job staying calm and quickly brought her children to a safe place and not to mention her children are well-behaved. Well, Done Mom XO
You didn't listen did you?
The mother asking her son what she should do made me cry. What a wonderful relationship to have with your parent at such a young age were they trust you like that. And for her to keep her calm with the other crying in the back?
My parents wouldve been freaking out and telling me to stfu in that situation.
This video speaks volumes on what kind of parent she is.
I like how she still takes the time to park in a parking spot lol
nice
I would be running for my life 😆
@@nftt8krr125same lol
We’re Iowan, it’s in our nature 🥺
@@isabeldaza6136 what's lowan?
in the description, it reads "we apologize for any illegal driving that occured" BRUH THEY NEARLY GOT SWEPT WDYM THAT WAS NECESSARY BRO
LMAOOO
lmaooo 😩😩😩
for reaaaallllll
I agree. Do whatever you can to save your life.
They broke the law just to face it lmao
I love how she didn’t hesitate to help her boy at the end and make sure he was safe. She is an amazing mother and her children are so brave to have kept calm through that
Would be a bit disturbing if she left him, no?
@@silent2180 ikr
@@silent2180 Not at all, that would be natural selection. Ironic how you with a tiger as your profile pic don't know about that.
@@beta3522 living up to your username
@@peterbougioukos1423 Thanks. I will complete my being soon.
That kid in the front is impressive. His own mom asking him, “What should I do?” and the other kid crying and him telling him it’s only making it worse, very mature
In the middle of a tornado, seeking shelter for herself and 5 kids... and she still parks better than most people at stores.
Not a tornado but still well done and kudos to the kid for staying calm and giving simple but effective instructions.
I would have parked my car at the front door. Covering that distance in 100mph winsa
Bro, I saw this too!! What a park she did!!
I pray they are okay
What tornado?
Kid: * starts sobbing *
Sibling: *you're making it worse*
LMAO
Yeah that's real siblings for you. It's not the nicest way, but actually the best way to calm someone down by having them realize the situation faster.
No way is that was they said? I didn’t even hear it but yes that unnecessary crying was so annoying
@@mariolisa2832 ??? she's a child and she was scared. normally kids reactions are to cry when they are stressed and scared. sorry if a genuine child's reaction is "annoying"
@@inseongmingi it was KFKFKDKC
For the most time; oldest children always carry a great deal of responsibility that comes to us at an unnoticed time...props for the kids' confidence to keep his mom calm and collected...
Surprised it took so long for me to see a comment saying this. Oldest kids step up because they have to, that is just the reality. Younger siblings never grow up quite as fast. Signed, an oldest daughter
Everyone's talking about the kid in the front who undoubtedly did a remarkable job, but so did the kid sitting right behind the mom who shut the doors left open despite being the last one to get out, that was so thoughtful and brave ❤️
It looks like he couldnt even open the door as the winds kept slamming it shut, don't think he was trying to close the doors. Just couldn't get out from that side since the winds were too strong.
Yeah he was trying to get out but couldn’t push the door because of the winds. Poor kid…
The composure of that shot gun rider.... that's why he's up front.
had the same happen except we were pulling a 33 ft travel trailer and my dad was flooring it as i gave him updates on it from the passenger seat
Kid is a boss
is this not the most mature group of kids you’ve ever seen
@@vnd3rwrldvxbez948 The kid who cried from the rain is obviously younger who was easily scared by the panicking and the storm happening around them, This does not make them any less mature, they easily stopped crying and ran in the store like there mother told them to do.
@@eye492 I mean she was like the youngest of them if I’m seeing right
I believe that the kid who was crying was much younger, and was crying about the tornado behind them.
Except the sister
7 and you are correct.
That young boy did awesome! I'm genuinely so impressed by how he kept his composure and told his mom where to go ❤️
Dereceos are some of the most evil storms I have encountered. The sideways rain is so scary. Glad she and family got to safety.
That kid in the front seat is going places in life. Literally the only one who kept cool and didn't panic.
She didn’t panic. She did a great job
@@jjjohnson7578 Yeah. I watched it again and youre right. The whole family did awesome. But that kid in the front, for being as young as he is, to be that collected and helping his mom. The little dude is going to be a great leader when he grows up.
David Paton totally!
living in Iowa, they've probably already seen and been through at least a couple tornadoes. LOL It's a fact of life in that part of the US. So I'm guessing that's part of why they were not too fazed. LOL
And then the one breaks down as soon as she starts reversing 😂
Kid: *Starts crying*
Other kid: HOLD YOURSELF TOGETHER PRIVATE!
Why doesn’t this have more likes😂😂
Lmao
Yeah soldier i salute!!
Damn this comment was stuck at 9 likes, now 2 weeks later it’s at 900!!
Hahahahahaha
Mom and son did a great job and it's heartwarming to see them working as a great team while facing such a stressful situation. God bless and GOOD JOB guys!
This is a great example of a scared Mom, under pressure, w/an impending storm, & her kids. . . .trying her best to get them all to safety. I think she did a *great job. Thanks so much for sharing this w/us Douglas Porter.
I love how she listens to her son and doesn’t shh him like a lot of people probably would and even asks him for help. No wonder he’s so smart, his mother respects his instincts and advice. That’s the dynamic duo in one of those survivor movies.
@@michaelellison511 dude you watched the video, and you know her asking what she should do didn’t make anything worse the kid was already crying. Who are you to say what she should have done when they lived to share the damn footage? Sorry this mom loves her kids and your mom never loved you
@@sunfloweryella7749 chill, they're not wrong though. She had a moment of panic, it happens... They were just pointing out that as a parent your children are looking to you for answers. She should know, not because she is an adult but because she's likely to have more experience understanding weather conditions and safety. Although she panic'd at least she didn't visibly freak out.
@@michaelellison511 i honestly think she was just thinking out loud, she wasn’t actually asking the child but she took his advice anyways
I think in that situation, EVERY one of us would have that moment! She easily could've freaked out, but she stayed calm, her son stayed calm, she got her kids to safety! Bottom line- she's not a storm expert- she doesn't study storm patterns. She made a quick turn around, her son guided her to a shelter, kids are safe!! So anyone critiquing her strength, or critical thinking, you've better been in that situation with 5 or six kids in the car
If not, give her mad props for getting her kids safe and save your critiques for the movies
Everyone is giving props to the little boy in the front seat, as they should. However, the little boy in the blue shorts made sure his younger sister got into the store before him. Definitely didn’t go unnoticed. Good job to all of them.
Yup.
❤️
That was very sweet of him
Why didn't she drop them off at the front door.?
@@mikewhiteside2925 It's faster to park and then gun it to the door probably
Dude.. that mom was on point with everything. And great kid keeping his mother calm in such a scary situation
This is such great video in a lots of ways! The patience this mom has is remarkable! This is the connection people should have with their kids, they have a better chance of surviving mayhem just by being calm and listening & obeying their parents...!!Thank you for sharing!!💝
“Lydia youre making it worst” oh bless Lydia surrounded with brave brothers

*Brothers Willings to die to save another one's family what a heroic act*
@@karma_is_a_bitch6016 I'm 28, my little sister is 16. I always give her boyfriend "the look" just to keep him in line lol.
This is actually crazy. She asks the children what should I do and the genius kid instantly says go there (bricked building) very smart of him
video games no doubt haha
kid plays Rust for sure
Didn’t y’all ever hear how the wolf couldn’t blow down the brick house? 😂
Nah they got that fortnite intellect🤣
Why do Americans build houses with wood instead of solid concrete even though tornado's and thunderstorms are pretty common there?
This is how me and my 6 year old are. I hope if things ever get this real I can still count on her like this! Mind blowing. Glad you guys are okay! That tornado was scary, I'd be crying too, buddy in the back!
Bravo. What a mother, and what an incredible young man helping keep his family safe.
*girl starts crying*
kid next to her : “you’re making it worse”
rv6xn he’s not wrong... 🤷🏻♂️
@@dakota481 yeah
FAX
yeah we heard that, we have ears too...
nah if I cry like that my mom would straight up grab her chancla mom dont take bs from us too! 😂
The kid who said “you’re making it worse” also put his hand on his sisters shoulder after and told her “its okay don’t cry”
Everyone in this family handled this situation so well
when did he say it’s okay to cry i didn’t hear that
@@unannamous 1:59 as they’re pulling into the parking lot
"You are making worst" and the other says "it's ok don't cry". They know each other reactions and feelings how to handle it. The older kid was like a house at least. Then was asked again says turn here. She actually did. Wow man that kid has one critical thinking at beat.
Mom wow you remained calmed even when kid cried out loud. Also trusting on your child knowing they make a clear decisions. Trust me at the end of the day y'all like omg what a work with our kids but is worth at the end. Being independent making their own decisions.
Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and you will be saved. John 3:16 (share the good news of the gospel around the world!) Have a wonderful day/night, may the Lord bless you all, and farewell!
@@1CT1 God Bless you!
You can just see the trust and bond between these kids and mom. They were all working together to keep things as calm as they could and support mama. Great job all around and praise God everyone made it safely to shelter!
Excellent team work mom & son. I was at the edge of my seat when the last little was getting out. Glad you all got to safety!!
When she said okay guys get ready to run, the way they started getting out is like some super hero team on a mission.
Chupa Mela don't think you're meant to like stay in the car
@Chupa Mela Yes because a car is stronger than a big ass supermarket
it's the way people get out of a car, you just consume a lot of superhero movies
The incredibles
She raised strong independent kidos
The fact that the mother trusts her child that much to be asking him what she should do is amazing, that child is a Natural born Leader!!!
No, I believe they’re just a happy fam.
Was she asking him, or herself.
I asked her and she says she was talking to herself. But we would take ideas from him!
Karen luvs Jesus lets just fix something quick and edit that ‘more’ in your sentence out. It just needs to say ‘smarter’ not ‘more smarter’ 😂
Logan maybe her parents think her sister is SO DAMN smart that saying she is smarter isn’t enough 🤷🏼♀️
I have watched this a few times. Brave, calm mama. God bless you.
The Illinois derecho went through my hometown last June while I was at work. During the middle of it, an EF2 tornado passed about 150 yards from my house. I was desperately trying to call/text/messenger my wife to get the kids into the storage room under the stairs in my basement but the cell towers were all messed up. I saw the rotation on the radar scope app right over my home. We had a 4 foot around pin oak fall inches from my house. The whole area was a total mess. More than 100k people were without power in our county alone. There were reports of 100mph wind gusts. I feel for this family because I know my kids were equally afraid and they were in a basement. You are a good mom. You kept your cool and did what you had to do.
Ah yes the classic
Kid 1: "Mom, whats that? "
Kid 2: "Remains Calm"
Kid 3: "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
This needs more likes
When I was little I was the little man in the front seat. Now? I'm definitely kid #3 when I hear tornado sirens
hahahahahahhaa
😂😂
Its too funny fr
I want to recognize how calm the young man in the front seat is, helping mom look around and find a safe place. Job well done
Inteligent boy
I noticed that too!
Yeah he’s very calm in emergency situations a trait not many people have im lucky and have it I learned that a few months ago
Something very heartfelt about a mom and the little tribe she created helping her to safety. It's amazing how quickly kids grow from blobs to real people you can depend on
Blobs lol
yea she has a husband and he helped create/raise them, thanks
@@sethfyou4750 Like I said, Something very heartfelt about a mom and the little tribe she created helping her to safety.
When this storm happened i was outside picking tomatoes on a sunny day and literally within 5 minutes the sky turned BLACK the wind started blowing and my neighbors were rushing to get their dogs inside, i went inside with my tomatoes and the storm got really bad. It was raining sideways and hailing with intense wind, we lost a pine tree and our oak trees lost so many leaves it looked like fall time in August. Even to this day you'll still find damage from the deraco, it caused really bad tree damage and destroyed grain bins.
That Woman raised amazing kids, just saying
@Miguel Melchior that’s a fire lane. Additionally something could’ve fallen on the car from the building. I’d take a nice open parking spot during a storm like this, especially if I don’t wanna get stranded in an unfamiliar town.
@Miguel Melchior shut up lol
@Miguel Melchior So what if that tornado come closer and chucked her car at them or through the window etc.? They had a much better chance being there and they’re fine. People like you just need something to bitch about make themselves feel better.
She did a great fucking job the young men new what to do at the rite time smart fucking kid god bless them
@Miguel Melchior ß👙😈😕😕
The kid in the back… “you’re literally making it worse” 😂
🤣🤣😂
I’m a kid and this happened to me yesterday.
Timestamp?
😂😂
That's what I was thinking lol
Both the mother and child are incredible. The parents raised a brave and smart young boy and the mother herself to have the ability to delegate and trust her son in such a stressful situation. All around incredible.
son delegates mother not other way round. i exactly know how that feels bc my mother was the same. your only chance is to do it yourself. panicing mother doesnt know what to do.
Impressive how calm & quiet they all were even when little sis cried. Great job fam!!
That kid is STEEL. Mom wisely asked for suggestions (cause she needs to not crash the car while thinking of solutions)… and this kid doesn’t skip a beat. What a man.
@@Dexter-nw2fe Thank you
@@alejandropina9836 I would say thats just a standard mother scared for her kids and panicking while in a dire situation. Thats neither bad nor good just how she is couldn't keep her cool but what can you do?
@@Dexter-nw2fe because this woman had 30 minutes of calm and peace and quiet in her house to sit down and think about what to do. It's all well and good looking in hindsight with all the time in the world. You wouldn't have done better my friend.....
Agreed 100%
She, it was the 6 year old, youngest that was crying.
i just want to applaud this mother for staying calm for her children even as they panicked. she involves them and allows them a voice in the face of danger and she seems to be a great mom. i hope her and her babies are thriving.
We are doing great! Thanks!
she panicked and thats why they got upset. lol
@@3914hwood bro, i would have been terrified, no one can blame her for letting some fear slip into her voice. parents aren't robots, they're allowed to show fear if they think their family is in danger. they still managed to stay pretty calm given their circumstances, so kudos to the whole family.
@@3914hwood if that’s “panicked” to you, you’ve never seen someone truly panic
@@ahhyeah That's nice to hear.
this storm had max estimated winds of 140 mph (category 4 hurricane level) with recorded max gusts of 126 mph (and was the costliest thunderstorm in us history)
The calm between the family was amazing they really kept it together.. respect..
"Lydia, please don't cry right now. You're making it worse!" I need these kids to be my personal advisors for any apocalyptic event. 😂
Same 😂
Im u 666th like sir
Minute?
😂😂😂
K M i think is the little girl in the car, who started crying.
You know a mother legitimately thinks her kid is smart when she's basking him what to do.
yeah my mom used to ask my brother what to do all the time while she was driving
Or maybe she’s just that bad of a thinker
@@drinkswatere Or maybe it was a stressful situation, idiot.
@@drinkswatere or maybe she needs another person in the same alert state as her that can think with clarity. she's worried about the 4 or 3 kids in the back while one is crying building up more stress. she has to put up with this all while driving which can cloud up your mind. two minds are better than one it's easy to bounce suggestions off each other and it shows they have a great relationship to be entrust her son with a difficult situation. Weirdo. Shows that people can't trust you with things sadge.
The sad part.
Having all your life in that vehicle 🚗 with you.. I can understand the fear bubbling up in you. So happy y’all made it and found shelter ❤
That would suck thinking you are headed out of the storm just to find yourself in the middle of it. Heck, initially, it looked the the best direction to head even to me. Glad they made it safe
My man's in the front acting like a grown man not even scared
ruclips.net/video/sMG1nlQi5bg/видео.html .....
Hes probably paralyzed with fear xD
He a tough guy tho
He doesnt understand the power of them. Even people that has seen them before up close are shocked when they hear and feel your entire house crumble. Its fucking wicked. Its pitchblack in some videos man
**Girl starts crying**
Kid next to her: Ok you're making it worse
Lmao that kid is going places
That had me so weak omg
FBI she was scared and she’s just a little girl.
J cob she’s too old to cry? Ok, I get that it could be nerve racking to have a crying child during something like this. But, she isn’t too old to show emotion such as crying and we shouldn’t discourage emotions.
She’s 6.
@@JakobWatt Fair enough. Let's keep the mood lively.
I like the boy that helped his sister while running in the store. Kudos.
This video truly shows me how crying is anything but helpful in these situations. No shade at the kid, given he's just a kid but just an observation on how much more tense I got while watching when the child started crying.
I'm trying to understand how she parked so well. I would enter in the store with my car
😂😂
😆😆
Lmao
🤣🤣🤣I thought same thing!🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
“What should I do?” If I heard my parent say that in a dangerous situation I’ll be thinking we going to die lol.
Right? “What you mean what do I do!? I’m 8!”
Same! 🤣 You're the parent! You tell me! These kids are going places. Lol
@@Tryin2Bnice45 looool
Exactly what i thought too 😂
For real 🤣🤣🤣
I’m speechless as to how well she handled that. Great job mama!
My wife was at chic fil a with my 2 year old son when this came through cedar rapids and I was at work. She had to run inside like you guys did with my son. Craziest thing that has ever happened in Iowa. I could barely get to them after the storm with all the powerlines, trees and debris on the roads. Pretty scary.
I’m impressed by how calm the kids were and they all listened to their mom without question...kudos on good parenting
ruclips.net/video/VRuEqrB4DMQ/видео.html
They’re such a good kids!!
what about the other one that was whailing doe
@@cryoman4144 that's just what some young kids do in situations like these
@@Kiriali kudos to mother and good parenting
Omg I Love the kid behind her. He reminds me so much of when I was driving with my 9 year old out of a wildfire two years ago. He's going to do big things in life.
Good call by mum to not panic once she saw the tornado, safely back up then turn around. It's extremely rare for tornados to double back on themselves or turn 90 degrees towards you. So really well done.
THAT OLDEST SON WAS SOOOOOO INCREDIBLE AT CALMING HIS MOTHER. she already knows she can count on him because she asked HIM "what should I do" not once but twice. Incredible story for them to look back on years from now. Strangers on the internet are praising this young man and mothers ability to keep herself and 5 children safe
Big L for the mother of all those kids tho
Yeah, this was an example of how to deal with a dangerous situation, properly. She doesn't scream or get frustrated, she makes a good decision in running it by her son, and he does an great job at being calm. Fear and panic can kill you because I think fear likely causes your decision making to revert to an emotional level which is a dangerous practice
Impressionante o auto controle da mãe com a situação.Tornado chegando crianças chorando e o que fazer? Esse menino foi demais na ajuda que deu a sua mãe.Parabens aos dois
The mother didn't do anything that young man saved all of them this goes to show men and women are not the same nor are women equal to us men us men are superior and you women are inferior and beneath us men
This is why we need masculinity! ❤
Mom's got some bad ass driving skills with that turnaround maneuver. And the kids... well they deployed like they were going to Chuck e Cheese. Bravo
Off to Charles Entertainement Cheese
@@annamerrie05 I don't get the point of your comment
PARADOX I was actually in this tornado/ inland hurricane and it was scary as hell. The fact that someone had to comment on the way that the mother was driving in the case of stress/ and danger is a little rude in my opinion
@@annamerrie05 It wasn't a hurricane 😂😂
Jamesplayz i Judy said that because in some places the winds got up to category 3-4 hurricane speeds
I was in a very similar situation with my wife and infant years back. Sirens started, radio stations died, looking for any structure for cover as visibility quickly neared zero, I parked my truck on the side walk near the door of a Khol's. I used the drivers side of my truck as wind block for the glass doors of the store. Nobody gave me any grief for it. The staff welcomed us and several more in just as hail from a tornado started.
Who is that boy in the front passenger seat!!!!! Holy moly - what a freaking amazing kid !!!!!!
God bless him to have an amazing and wonderful life 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I like how they all run in the store like the world is ending, then a few people walk out casually like what’s up with those guys?
That was the store employees coming out to help find my son’s glasses.
@@ahhyeah wow. Thats going above and beyond ❤️
Exactly what I said lol 🤣
But to be fair they didn't see the tornado
Lol exactly
And they went right back in
She said “I don’t care if it’s green or not I’m getting up out of here” lmao I know right!!!! 😂😂
When there is an emergency you must follow your gut instinct.
Yup! And she checked her mirrors and sides before getting out
And parking far from the gate store --.-- they hardly walked in xD
Lana Del Ray it’s the first one we’ve gotten in more than 100 years.
😅😅😅
The kid in the passenger seat was the hero of that video! I love how the mom was asking the kid what she should do.
Pretty wild! For some reason this popped up on my feed.Glad everyone is OK.
I'm from west coast Canada and we don't get these kinds of storms or tornadoes. I have 4 kids myself and could totally see myself saying out loud, half to myself and half to my kids "what do I do?"
Some of us think better out loud and it's calming especially when you are focusing on driving with a kid freaking out.
Props to all!
This is SUPER mom type stuff. Instead of panicking and scaring her kids she mutters under her breath and her son pitches a Great idea. Absolutely incredible teamwork
What was the great idea?
A parent being a parent
@@thomasrobinette3227 going to the store for shelter
The mom didn't have the situation or her emotions under control at all but I'm glad it all ended well.
@@starburst8703 ah ha. Gotcha. Thx!
Her child fell over, and she stayed to help them and nearly fell over herself. This woman is an amazing mother. My mother would have left me in the car.

Hats off to the mom and her son.
Mood
I love that you say them instead of just assuming a gender 🥰
If I ever have a family of my own, I hope they are as strong and capable as you guys are.
Teach, by words and actions!
Badass momma getting her kids to safety and boy in the front seat helping her make quick judgement calls
The last kid could not get out cause the wind kept the door closing and change doors quickly no one pointed that out good for him to
I just read him your comment! He said, “That’s nice of him!”
Wbhshahahahahahah
I was so worried about him! Thank God the mother checked the children before go away.
It was pretty funny that he fell too lol made me laugh and made my day
1000th like**
And the boy in the back seat is just as brave as the one in the front he grabbed his sister's hand when they got out and ran with her instead of leaving her behind
She keeps saying, “He saved my life.”
@@ahhyeah Probably did ♥️.. You should be so proud your family kids :) . and the boy in the front has the heart and mind of a leader💯
@@ahhyeah have you shown them how proud people all around the world I so proud of them and how braves they are. I think that would be really cool for them to see 🙃
We have shared some of the comments with our kids. Thanks for the feedback!
Douglas Porter fabulous family and from one mom to another, she did amazing! Big high fives to all of her kids too!
Fellow Iowan who was also caught in the derecho. Thank goodness you're all ok. Happy 2 year anniversary!
wow that boy in the front is a true hero .. kept his whole family safe telling his mom where to go♥️🔥
“Cmon guys, get ready to run” moms are hero’s 😆 literally
@@ShadowDeus I laughed so mf hard to this comment!!! Its fucking facts
@@venturagoesballistic please, don't use any bad words
I probably would have made my own driveway across the lawn to the store. It was a Z71 Off-road Suburban. I got it for a day like this. 😬
Yeah why would she park in a parking spot so far away?
turd fergurson you make mistakes, and it’s fine. Overall, great decision and fast reaction
Hats off to everyone, especially the young man in the front seat who stayed calm and gave reassuring advice, get to the store and get safe. Glad were all OK! And yes, "illegal" driving is excused when getting away from danger and to safety. When you see parts of a roof fly across the road ahead, you turn around!
I would have done the same thing
may have been illegal, but definitely safe, both for her family and other drivers on the road. i commend her fast thinking!
He's a kid
@@HobbyOrganist better than being in a car, and i think they may have an emergency room for tornadoes.
They went to the bathrooms.
These storms are no joke. My husband and I rode out a derecho in our basement in 2006. When I went to work the next morning I couldn't believe all of the damage. The NWS recorded hundreds of microbursts, downbursts and "gust-nadoes" (mini wannabe tornadoes). It was the weirdest storm I had ever been through.
That boy in the front was the bravest out of all of them and led them to safety, WHAT A HERO!
I love how the frantically run into the store and right afterwards 3 people walk out of there super calm
But then speed walked right back in lol
Fr im like whatre they doing
Right!
The employees walked out to find the childs glasses who fell in the red shorts. It states that in another comment from the mother. Plus they were not in direct force of the wind. Like they were running from the parking lot
@@themango9644 the kid dropped his glasses. Employees went out to retrieve them for him
“Go Jackson!”
Jackson: *slips an falls*
“God damnit Jackson”
Jackson in the distant: I’m fine mom!
Underrated comment Lmao
JAJAJA
You seriously couldn't make a comment without using God's name in vain. Great job.
@@jae2482 Hey, if you don't mind blaspheming God, that's on you. The poster of this video is an awesome Christian, so what you do with that info. Is totally up to you.
Great job 👍🏻 it was really intense to watch, I can just imagine how much scary moment it has been. The mom and the front kid props to you guys.
You did awesome as a family! Glad you guys made it ok.
The fact that the mom asked the kid in the front seat "what should I do" then looked directly at him and asked again speaks volumes about her trust in his judgement which seems crazy considering how young he is. My guess is this kid is constantly having ideas / thoughts well beyond his years and for the mom to recognize that and then use it in a high pressure situation like that speaks to the survival instinct. Great video also I live like 20 mins from there.
I was that kid. I don’t like it. As much as I appreciate having my parent tell me stuff and confiding in me, it became way too much for me. I don’t want that responsibility just yet. I shared my mother’s burden at such a young age and I grew up way too fast because of it. Instead of enjoying stuff children usually do, I worried more about closing shop, where to get the money to pay for things, etc. Nevertheless, I still love my mom and I owe the world to her.
@@premium6657 …that was me, too!😢
@@premium6657 (3) but my father. I'm a middle child yet they expect the most for me since they thought I'm better and smarter than my sibs. It hurts for me as well that they see my sibs like that and hurts for myself coz I'd carry the pressure and burden
Sometimes when stuff is going crazy you know what to do but you just need to hear it from someone else for it to click.
The kid seemed relatively calm and the mom was freaking out internally so he helped anchor her in that respect.
@@premium6657 there is nothing wrong for growing up too fast, just my opinion... as my parents taught me about responsibility, saving and using money properly etc, since I was 7 yo.. well it sucks that I couldn't have happy childhood as you mentioned. I used to care alot about how much pocket money I need to save for helping my parents for their business or feeding us, and so on .. I don't really have interest with kids stuff, or play around with other kids.. but yeah, it effects me now, I have alot of interest with toys or games, cartoons or animations.. probably this is side effects of being mature too early 😅😅 ..but it's ok..you can still control everything...when you are an adult you will realise how good that lesson.. you will be Soo thankful as you parents taught such a thing on your early age.
It's a horrible moment. The mom was brave and decisive. The boy seating by her was extremely composed. It's common and natural that kids cry and are scared by the thing they are seeing.
"what should I do" yeah okay buddy she decisive.
@@yosefshekelberg5433 LOL
That crying from that girl was so unnecessary and jarring, the danger wasn’t even that bad at that point.
Even if it was at the end and she was crying because she was scared to get out the car, I wouldn’t mind so much. But screaming and crying when she did right as momma was trying to turn the car around, I would have yelled for her to shut up im sorry
@@mariolisa2832 she's a baby and she is scars shut up would be so mean
@@mariolisa2832 but I do understand in a situation like that I would tell my child to quiet down as the mother needs to think straight
Respect to you! I hope i can be this calm one day when im a parent and if there is a tense situation like this, you formulated a plan and the whole family executed the plan perfect in the front of danger! When i was a kid i froze when we had to go to shelter and my mom picked me up once i saw the trees nearly sideways.
Perfect ex of how everyone acts different. The Crying one. The snarky one telling you your crying is making it worse. The calm cool one directing. The semi calm one, who is on the verge of panicking but holds it together to get you to safety. Glad you guys got to safety in time.
