StefanDay - Wild Winds from the 2012 summer Derecho in Nimitz, West Virginia on June 29th, 2012

Stefan Day filmed the 2012 North American Derecho from his home in Nimitz, WV. Feel free to share the RUclips link with your friends. You can hear and see the wind velocity increasing at many points such as 2:53 and 3:19. You can hear some trees cracking on the video. Some trees are filmed upright; seconds later, you can see them as downed by the Derecho. You can see the wind blowing water out of a nearby pond. We saw some sparks from power poles far away during the storm, and a multitude of large trees were later discovered to be down in Nimitz from this storm. Nimitz lost power for 10 days as power crews from 22 states helped to fix around 1,000 downed power poles (between Mon Power and AEP), trees, and at least 50 downed transmission towers in West Virginia alone. Millions of people from the Derecho's path struggled to operate as their electricity was offline for many days.

This was filmed from the front and back porches of Jon's home in Nimitz which we are currently residing at. The home was built a few years ago, and it is located near my parents.
