Wow! That is just crazy! I read your whole story. It did sound like it was a very exciting and scary afternoon for you and your family. Glad to know everyone is ok, your house only suffored minor damage and the whole neighborhood came together to help everyone. Thanxz for the awesome comment and sharing your story :)
i won't forget this storm it was so bad wv did not have power for several days.
I remember this storm! I was three years old and in the morning I remember my dad (owns construction business) was repairing the roof because a tree fell on it. That was a rough night lol.
My power was out for 5 days. This is why some of my kitchen lights barely work to this date. I was lucky enough to survive and have no actual damage done to my house. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH. I will never forget this moment.
+swany72002 scared of 90 mph winds? remember your comment that it was worse than a ef5? this is nothing compared to a EF5...
Strange as it sounds, but I'd love to get something like this in the UK; I love storms and strong wind, but we hardly get anything good over where I am!
This is my story: We were planning to head to Kentucky to see my brother that day. My dad was at work, my sister was at a friend's house, and my mom and I were heading out to Pampered Pets so they could board our dog while we were to be gone. My mom and I saw the storm develop, but we doubted that anything would happen, so we cursed at it and dared it to bring it on, and bring it on it did. We came home and first noticed the power was out. Next, I found a piece of siding and a gutter guard
Cool video! Looks like you are slo-moing all of the lightning strikes! I love storms like this! Thanks for uploading this!
Love the slo-mo. Great vid.
i was 9 and was in shelter in a trailer home. i remember everyone playing outside and i was just watching the radar. Power cut out, and i went outside to go tell my babysitter and i remember the sky looking so dark, it was like brown. everyone rushed inside. we took shelter in the bathroom.
rain hammered the windows, it was so loud.
after the storm, we drove around the neighborhood and it was destroyed. Trees smashed on homes, cement steps were moved from one’s doorstep. it was flooded.
driving around fw after my dad picked us up, it was destroyed. the shopping mall off parnell, roofs caved in, part of a roof being bent of a building on north clinton.
i think this storm is really was grew my fascination with storms.
last year i believe it was (2022) we had another derecho that mainly hit Wayndale pretty bad but we still had trees down, power out, bad flooding in my neighborhood. it definitely wasn’t as bad as the 2012 in my opinion and no where near as bad as the 2020 one in Iowa
oh and to add, it was dry and hot as hell in 2012 when this hit 💀
I'm from South Bend, IN but live in AR now-but some of my family was in the path of storm in south Bend, North Carolina and Arlington VA. My sister in law was picking up her daughter from zoo camp in fort Wayne and they had to hide in the basement of some museum. What a crazy, powerful storm! Your video is great-great footage all the way to the end. Music works well with it at the end.
Beautiful video. Awesome cloud formations.
Thanxz, Yeah it was a very crazy storm, Fort Wayne saw winds that exceeded 90+mph!
Great video though. I'm terrified of storms like this but the footage afterwards is always really interesting to watch. And I liked the slow mo so thanks for that.
the tree so Paul Davis could have room to come and put up a temporary tarp. We were out of power for 6 and a half days. Paul Davis has yet to come and repair the house. We also left the trunk of the tree for them to take care of. It was a hellish experience we will never forget.
Thanxz! This storm did have some amazing cloud structure.
I hear tornado sirens in the video. Here in Marion, Indiana we did not get warning, there simply was not enough time. That storm was trucking through and it was huge.
I remember that the sky turned black and when I looked out the window to see why, that storm just bore down on us. The sad thing was it took a long time for the news to tell us it was a Super Derecho.
in the front yard. When we entered the garage, my mom noticed that the garage window was blocked by leafs. It is supposed to be a clear view of the backyard. We knew then we were in trouble. We opened the back door and were stunned to find one of our big trees had fallen and buried the patio underneath it, and it also damaged parts of the roof and all of the gutters on the back of the house. It also landed on some wires. When my sister came home, she was already worked up because of having to
drive alone in the storm, but what made her sob was finding that the tree had crushed the roof above her room. Luckily, the tree did not damage anything inside, except for the fact that there was a small leak. I was amazed at how the neighborhood came together to make sure everyone was alright and offer their help to those who had messes to clean up. My brother ended up coming to see us, and it was nice to have him and his girlfriend help is clean up. We spent all of Saturday clearing the top of
I survived that storm. We didn't have power for 7 days, and in my bedroom i had 10 fans going just to try cool the room down including a window fan. I'll never forget that storm. I can remember going to every store in town to try to find a generator, and everyone was sold out. But finally on the 7th day at around 8:30pm our power came back on.
You had 10 fans in your bedroom? You must have been very popular.
@@johanbruijnooge6818 lol
Great video, love the effort and the music ! 🤣🙏
Very cool video. We had one of these in Terre Haute in the 90's that just NAILED one our parks on the north side of the City. Took out about 50 fully grown trees. Terrible. We get some extreme weather, here in Indiana.
nice footage..you took the same footage as me in northside park where park center is. did you see the bus stop that was smached in? there was 4 teenagers in the bus stop next to it.
Yeah at first it was hard to drive stick and film but now its 2nd nature to me, I also drive my truck storm chasing to which is an auot :)
at 0:45 those are called "Whales Mouth" clouds. Also there was an awesome "Shelf" cloud.
In the early parts it was like random gust after random as storm was building power.
Those CGs were mostly on the backside of the storm. That one at 5:24 was right by me!
Thanxz for the awesome comment and feel free to subscribe and check out my other videos :)
People did report some tornadoes but I never found out if they were confirmed. The winds were blowing at a constant 80-90+ mph!! in Fort Wayne,IN. They got the full force of the storm as it passed.
Thanxz! Yeah @ 5:36 thats what I thought about what was on that truck to, very strange to have a full police escort, the other two cops I didn't get on film were ahead of the semi about a quarter mile clearing the way.
Here in Warren power was out for 7 hours or so, over a dozen trees were down, two hit power lines, I ended up helping clear trees on Grover street, a vendor for the Salamonie Summer festival had a tree fall on his box truck and it was totaled. almost everything was shut down because people were too busy all over town with the clean up.
Love those cloud pics towards the end of the video.
Yeah when you see menacing clouds like that coming watch out! These kind of storms are really bad cause they are so wide spread with strong intensity across the whole storm. We get alot of squall line storms with gust fronts on them around Indiana but this one was pretty bad.
You talking about in the start of the video? That was in southern Elkhart by the 20 bypass. By Mishawaka rd./CR 20 and Pleasant Plain. Yeah that storm was intense.
Good video! I believe the item under tarp on the tractor trailer with the police escort was probably parts for the wind turbines they have been building in central IN. There where nonstop shipments coming in for the last few years and all the larger or really expensive pieces had to have Police escort.
amazing video. particularly love the radio commentary about what is happenin in fort wayne while ur headin to that exact place :P the careful part of my mind is thinkin 'head back!' while the exciting part of my mind is thinkin 'yeahhhh!!! lets see whats goin on!' hehe :P
I know I'm incredibly late on this. For my part of town, I live in the northwest part of Fort Wayne, just outside city limits (Lake Township), there was no tornado. I know these were straight line winds so please don't try and educate me. This is just for the people asking. As far as I know, there were no tornadoes but about an hour into the storm, a little bit after some cloud to ground lightning knocked out our power, the tornado siren came on. Some circulation in the clouds and in the 80-90 mph winds were experienced. But to my knowledge, nothing touched down. At least, not in Fort Wayne.
Hit us in Baltimore and had the same intensity. Winds suddenly picked up around 11:30 and the storm barreled into us not much later.
ok! Just because a tree is twisted does NOT mean there was a tornado!! That's just how some trees snap off. That storm was almost 100% straight line winds.
Where were you standing in that big open field, i recognized some of the area, i was at work when this struck. Imagine standing in a really old building surrounded by nothing but glass and i swear i saw my life flash before my eyes cuz i was freakin' out!
No problem! For some reason when tragic things happen to me, I feel the need to tell people. haha. This was an awesome video. I never really got a chance to sit back and watch the storm since we were driving in it and I was really freaked out. Did you catch any footage of the storm that hit Fort Wayne yesterday? It was much smaller than this, but it did cause more damage and knock another 10,000 people out of power. I was at band practice when it happened.
I agree, I am staying in Ohio from Wisconsin for family and I am a severe weather chaser, and let me tell you, this is the one storm I felt sick to my stomach about.
Yes it was simply amazing! Especially is person. Thanxz for the comment :)
Yeah it got very bad in Fort Wayne 90+mph winds, glad to hear you are ok.
Yeah that storm had some amazing cloud structure.
I'm in WV's eastern panhandle. We got hit around 9:45pm. A substation down the street got taken out. But I agree about the lightning. It was spectacular!
I live in WV. I had just gotten to Cincinnati on vacation when it hit my town. We drove through it a little bit on the way there. It was my 11th birthday. Beckley, where I live, had places without power for probably weeks after this storm. When we got back about a week later, where we lived still didn't have power and still had a line down in front of the house. I guess the trip couldn'tve been planned at a better time.
Oh hey
@@So1 hello!
Yeah can't do much about that when it is very windy out, I had the wind cut on and its still loud. If I would of had it off it would been really loud! It's just a simple full hd handheld camera so I can't really attach a muffled microphone cover. I'm hopefully going to be getting a pro sony camera soon and it will be much better :)
That cloud is crazy crazy looking! A textbook Mamatocumulus cloud!
EXCELLENT VIDEO. Whatever was under wraps on that flatbed truck, with police escort, did not look normal by it's shape.
Probably the scariest day of my life. One minute I'm outside getting the mail thinking oh it might rain. The next minute I'm in my hallway watching trees fall over
Yeah I saw a picture of a big tree down on capital hill., crazy stuff.
Wow! Crazy, I hope they get power soon with all this heat we are getting and no a/c.
For one no one said there was a tornado, all it says is "possible tornadic activity" which mean possible circulation in the winds which was reported with this storm and these kinds of storm can produce that. I was right in the area where people were reporting a possible todnado. So that is why it says "possible Tornadic activity" Tornadic also means it could of been a gustnado to which can do some damage also and these storms are know for producing them.
Those city folks call anything a tornado. For the most part, derechos produce straight line winds, not tornados. I suppose gustnados (which occur in front of the storm) could be produced, but they are relatively rare.
Those Look like Mammatus Clouds. Actually they are Mammatus Clouds as you can see these Lumps of Cloud just hanging down from a Thunderstorm. Very Interesting Phenomenon.
I live in Madison Heights, VA. We did not get hit as hard as areas north of us, but it was still bad. It was just past 10 o'clock, and we heard some hickory nuts hit the roof of our porch and we heard the wind. My step dad opened the front door and the whole porch was slanted with the wind. The storm here did not have much rain, so it was really dusty. We thought it was a tornado.
I remember this storm, it was so crazy in Maryland, but my power was out and it came back on the next morning.
Imagine getting power back the next morning. Ours was out for 2 weeks xD
@@leaf2180 Man I would not be able to handle that I can go a week without power but 2 weeks, nope lol
@@jaredwilliams8786 we were actually out of power for most of July. We got hit by 4 big storms here in Ohio lol. Every time they fixed our power, another storm would come through and take it out. One storm only took out our power specifically cuz lightning hit the fuse box
Strange video! I was looking forward to seeing and hearing the rain ! Which is why I watched this video in the first place.
I heard something about a train cart being derailed could that be it?
I don't really remember this storm and I was only 7. All I really remember was that we had a power outage
That Semi Truck just had a huge load and needed escorts.. Probably something for a power generation plant or something.. 13 Axles is a big ol' truck!
It hit us in Washington, DC at 10pm....scary! but loved the lightning!
5:40 RE: What is this?
In many states, trucks with over-sized loads (> 80,000 lb Gross Vehicle Weight GVW) get police to escort them on the interstate highway system. The truck's route is planned ahead of time to avoid bridges, curves or hills that could cause an accident. The escort also allows the truck to skip the weigh stations to speed up the trip.
+EskimoJoe492 you need to cat up with your X Files eposides
I have beeen seeing all these videos of the Derecho and makes me glad I live in southern California its been sunny and 80-85 degrees nice weather :D Glad you all are okay!
How's Cali treating you now?
I remember this storm hitting DC..never seen anything like it...power was out for about 2 days
2 days? Here in Ohio we had no power for 16 days 😅
@@leaf2180 damn that’s crazy
Yes Tornadoes can be very deadly and destroy everything in their path but at the same time in the right setting (no one around or houses) they can be beautiful and mesmerizing. So you jad one almost hit your house? That must of been crazy!! I have had a few close calls at home and on the road with tornadoes.
I remember it very well no power for a week. Bubble clouds.
It was bad at the west state, Sherman area .. power out for a week , everyone was cooking out though
I was in the hospital when it came through Virginia and the hospital lost power, but the generator came on.
You can't prove this storm was due to global warming but it was incredibly hot in Ft. Wayne the day before -- temperatures hitting 106, which ties the all-time record ever (there were two 106-degree days in the 1930's, and one in 1988). The next day, June 29, started out to be a scorcher, and was over 90 around noon when the storms hit. They were predicting a derecho yesterday, but it was only moderately warm for the date (89) and just a routine thunderstorm.
Thanxz, yeah that part of my brain that say you should head back or stay away dosent work ;)
I love your RUclips videos fo tornado lol
yep same here. Now waiting for tonight's
commet me if you guys saw the shelf cloud that came by on that friday i live in porter county,indiana
Wow! I bet that got a little scary for ya. Glad the generater kicked on for ya.
I remember this we got the worst here in Fort Wayne.
I agree! I've seen big storms abroad but here on the Wirral we get feck all lol
Maybe it's all those trees moving around that is causing the wind...
Power lines and trees
Yeah I heard it was pretty bad there to, I couldn't keep up with it into Ohio. That storm was haulin'. Its unconfirmed at this time but I heard there might of been a tornado in Ohio.
Gotta get that awesome/epic footage and get it up quick! Especially if it was a very big storm like this one was. Plus word it right and the right date. Plus share share share! Facebook is a good place to do that, there is alot of storm related pages to share your video on that others will see which will get you more views and possibly more subs. Hope this helps ya :)
we were driving through it. it was really scary and tariffing a tree almost fell on my house and someone that I know their friend's uncle's friend a tree fell on him.
Nature in the raw is seldom mild.
Isn't that the truth! Nicely said :)
There was also a heat wave and no air conditioning and I had to keep my guinea pig Rex from overheating in the heat.
Maybe a generator for a hospital or some other vital emergency center that had their primary back-up fail? Just tossing a guess out there. idk
if a storm like that is a deracho I think there is a Tornado Warning because of the wind!!
+Monster Gamer these are just straight line winds.. nothing like a tornado.. nothing like that at all.
+Christopher Ryan Yeah but good winds
love the video, I have video of the storm also. It was wild. keeping my eyes open for another in the future as the world changes. We had no power for 8 days.
ok, i understand
is that a real storm or haarp? idk
+timothy wampler There's been bad weather long before HAARP!
They said it was a "gustnado" But i'm pretty sure there was.people in two different places. saw one.
I was 7 when this hit I live in fort wayne and a giant tree branch fell and it was bad we made a fort out of the tree branch but now the time im typing this where about to get hit by a derecho it was very scary my sister cried she was very scared me and my grandma where not I was suprised so , yah.
Well that is part of it.
i hate the sound the wind makes when it hits the cameras its annoying!!
thank god we only lost ours for a few hours.
LOL! Probally but it will be some awesome footage!
dang, driving stick and recording at the same time!
The clouds are beautiful. Not a fan of the damage it did here in WV though.
in ohio it was really scary. Glad you are okay!
I lost power for 7 days because of this storm!
I live in the doer n was there when it happened I was scared as fuck n after it was leaves n trees in the streets n a treatment ripped up dirt and the sidewalk and fell onto my neighbors house. Noobody had power n at night it was like an abandoned city as if a apocalypse happened I'm only 13 n I was scared shitless.. o.o
I didnt get any sleep that nite it went througj
Don't really know what to say to that... Are you trying to be funny or giving me props cause I can drive a manual car and video at the same time? :) Either way Thanxz for the comment :)
i hate tornados when the and destory my house almost
