Tornado sirens are one of the scariest sounds. I grew up in Dixie Alley and lived through the Tuscaloosa tornado in 2011. When you hear that sound, you know something bad is coming.
We live in Hoover, close to the Shelby Co. line, headed towards Bessemer. We sat there helplessly waiting to see if family in Tuscaloosa and North of Birmingham lived through the tornado. It was terrifying.
Oh yeah. When I saw the thumbnail that showed the trash can, I knew before watching this that it was going to be gone. Edit: I watched the entire video, and the trash can never blew down the street. The sheer weight of the can's balls must have held it in place. Or there was a body in the can. Who knows.
I am from Ohio and Tennessee I have been through a double Tornado.... You feel. it before it happens, at least I do... the pressure drops, then suddenly no sound everything stops and then.... it hits..... I will never forget my experience 4 girls out for a dance in the country... we saw the funnels two one on one side then another.... we started out in Clyde Ohio and ended up on Castalia! Trees and electric wires came down in back of our car... you cannot out run them they turn... alive to tell the story!!! ❤️
That's really similar to the Dodge City siren.... here's a good example; ruclips.net/video/XLJYg9GBd2E/видео.html about a minute and a half in is where it gets real creepy. (though I wouldn't skip a single second, Hank is a wonderful videographer with a soothing voice)
Watching this brings back painful memories of when I was in a tornado. Don’t become complacent like I did. When you hear those sirens, get to a safe place ASAP.
May I ask how old you were ? I was 7 in elementary school - Pleasant Hill. Missouri have always hated storms . .... I always get that knot in my stomach when one of those long rolling thunders- that shake the house n rattles the windows happen !
I applaud your city for sounding the alarms early enough giving people the time to get to safety. Most don’t go off u til maybe a 30 seconds before something hits.
2020 has not been kind. I didn't even know a Derecho existed and I've been following weather for 20 years. Those sirens make it worse. It's a terrifying sound.
Me either. Similar to my feeling when we first heard about polar vortex in the winter here in Ohio. Crazy weather terms I had never heard before experiencing.
At least your sirens actually come on when it matters. Here in Texas they turn them on all the time when it rains and nothing ever happens. I swear it’s just to scare people.
I live in the middle of NY state, far away from tornado country. My heart still leapt into my throat hearing those sirens. Nothing gives you chills like that sound!
Been hearing them couple times a year, sometimes your like, any moment my roof can go. Hearing the wind, and sometimes it s just high winds. But usely with any siren, there's gonna be down trees, power outages. It used to really scare me. We heard from two different sirens. Usely dark. No basement. Now , I watch on TV. If it shows one, and what direction. I'm headed the other way driving. You wouldn't believe the people driving. Get out of there.
Yeah I witnessed it. I knew it was going to be something horrible even though we really had no warning, just by how dark and eerie it was just beforehand. It got so dark that my outdoor lights turned on
The garbage can held on to the very end, he was a kind & gentle trash can and he might of smelled a little bit but he stood strong to the very end!

The storm left half our city without power for almost a week, trees were uprooted and laying across roads and on cars and houses. I hope I never have to live to see another one of those..

The only folks who stayed in service were those who had generators that fed off propane or gasoline, or if they were really lucky, natural gas. Edit - Or their own solar panels.
@@tinydancer7426 I remember that one. I was in high school and my nieces and nephew were at our house with my parents. No basement and we just huddled in our laundry room with pillows and prayed. I remember seeing lightning on the ground
@@KiraNightshade Where were you located? Here in MD or a neighboring state. I don't remember lightning at all, just the crazy high winds and torrential downpours. What amazed me was that my EMPTY a been because trash cans didn't move at all. Musta been that my shed, while not actually shielding the trash cans, was close enough to break up the wind. But my tumbling composter sure was spinning ..... the vegetation inside got stirred together REAL good. :0D
Omg! So intense, I just kept wanting to tell someone save the pretty plants. I felt so bad watching them whipping around like that.... Hope your garden survived
Cantore will “brave” any storm to be on camera. I change the channel now when he comes on. How many times do we have to watch him stand in a hurricane to know that it’s windy. He did crack me up during a downtown report. He was out in the snowstorm and
As bad as it was here, other parts of the state suffered much, much, more damage. This town, Ankeny was hit by a killer tornado back in '74. If you live through one you never forget the dreaded siren.
I live here in Iowa and yeah once or twice the season we get get this here if we do get a tornado it lasts 2 seconds if that or we just get the strong winds
@@heatherphillips5983 not for that long of a period lol. Get off your high horses. Not the only ones who live in tornado alley and many others can admit this wasn't normal
Same, I'm from Oklahoma and spend a lot of time in Kansas and Missouri. Original tornado alley. This was a good spring storm. The sirens were Erie and bring back memories of past Oklahoma springs.
I’m a little confused, cause I was expecting much more. This just looks like a storm with some moderate wind. I’m wondering if I’ve been like, desensitized to storms from living in Tennessee. They can get bad here.
It doesn’t look terrible at this angle, but the wind speed was awful and you can moreso hear it than see it at around 7:26 when it looks to be the worst of it. The best explanation of a derecho that I can give is that they’re almost like if you took a strip from a hurricane but it can sustain better on land than an actual hurricane could. The areas that were hit are not accustomed to high hurricane-like speeds and tornadoes did form during it because of the perfect conditions for it.
Okay, I think I’m understanding this phenomenon a little better now that you put it like that. Storms do occasionally get very strong in the Nashville area, but it’s obviously more of like, straight line wind gusts, and it’s not terribly common to have multiple tornadoes fully form and reach the ground.
Top trash can. In fact I thought it must be a fire hydrant or mail box it was so well planted in. In fact if you're desperate for shelter I'd dive into that.
I went almost a week without power because of this storm. A giant branch fell into my car and my neighbors tree fell into my back yard. I'll never forget watching my umbrella flying directly into the air. I'll also never forget my entire city being blackout dark with the rumble of generators. I hope your family and friends stayed safe.
@@DA_TV71 that's what I was wondering Video says it's a derecho but derechos don't change directions like that. Tornados do. Tornados can form within derechos.
If you want to hear what most sirens sound like you should listen to and watch Pecos Hank "CREEPY TORNADO SIREN - Dodge City Twin Tornadoes 5-24-16" At about 1:38 is where you hear what they sound like if you were actually outside in-person with them on. The other videos of sirens don't do them justice. There are so many sirens and they echo in the distance and they also turn so they have this very ethereal sound all around the area and I've always thought of them sounding like angels singing and warning us of danger coming.
Digtzy Dog You love tornadoes??!! Aren’t they dangerous?? I’m from the West Coast so we don’t have those sirens here, albeit, fire engine sirens, yes, due to all the fires 🔥 we have.
@@dectel257 Ever since I was little I wanted to be a tornado chaser... Don't get me wrong it's fear-based affection right... XD I have nightmares almost every day involving tornadoes in some form... Just yesterday I had a nightmare about having to get a bus of people into the crawlspace of a trailer as a tornado came straight at us. They are absolutely my worst fear, but I have always respected them and enjoyed watching videos of them ever since I was little.
I live in Des Moines and My dad had a tree fall through his roof as a matter fact his roof just got put on yesterday. He still has the hole in his ceiling. Dealing with the insurance company is nuts!
Based on the stability of the empty garbage can, it appears that these winds were less than 20 mph. So why call it a Derecho? This must have been near the fringes of the event.
That's amazing! The air was more still than death; and then, it's like God pointed His blow-dryer straight at you! It's so surprising to see how much tall, slender planting survived.... 🌻🌻
Our Phoenix “monsoon” dust storms are a lot like that. You can stand outside and watch as this giant wall of brown/black dust approaches. When it gets to you roof tiles fly, patio furniture flies blocks, fences blow over and cars are damaged. It is a giant plot by the auto body, roofing and landscape industries.
I live in northern Arizona but I was in one of those monster dust storms one year I lived in Phoenix ! Still coughing up dust and ear wax is ugly brown ! I was raised in Bakersfield California and still walk funny from the earthquakes people think I am a little tipsy ! Hell maybe I am !
Blizzards are the same. Snowstorm is snow falling but blizzards can look like white, vertical sheets moving at you. You drive into it and you instantly can’t see the road and have zero sense of distance as you’re surrounded by white.
@@bettyhouk8727 I'm Up near you! The Monsoons we have had this past week has been insane! We've had flooding and power knocked out for 4 or more hours.. crazy!
This isn't "moments" before a storm. It's 9 minutes before a storm. And "chaos"? A garbage can fell over. And didn't blow away. There may have been a bad part of the storm but it missed this house. This is a mild Florida rain storm.
I live in Ankeny and woke up as the first siren ended. Looked outside and it was nearly pitch black. The wind picked up so fast and the rain that came down was insane! Fun little fact: this storm rolled across the entire state of Iowa. It destroyed thousands of acres of crops, blew buildings apart, and thousands of people lost power for at least a week. A derecho is basically like an inland hurricane and we had zero time to prep for this. Take a look at some footage from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This was no “mild storm”.
@@nativeson2633 Oh definitely! This door bell cam, cool as it is, didn’t show how nasty the derecho actually was. I wish I had thought to capture what I saw first hand at my place. It was insane! The winds were so crazy it was sucking the door open, I’ve never seen rain like that and watching huge tree limbs crash across the street was just nuts. And like a true Iowa idiot, I drove around town a while later and was gobsmacked! Power lines down, trees split in half, crops flattened…. I felt both blessed and saddened.
I live in Cedar Rapids. My "re-cycle" container blew away and was gone for 2 months. Someone returned it to me by the ID # that was on it. It is cracked about a quarter of the way through. Need to get a new one. Yikes.
Olivia Harris funny thing was I was not home when this happened. My daughter and I took a trip down to St Joseph, Missouri to visit a couple museums and find antique stores. It was a small thunderstorm down there
It wasn't a good day for babies.. We had nests all over the place. One mom was sitting on a live baby on the ground and sadly her other baby laid dead about 10 feet away.. I was able to put the live one back in the nest (luckily it was still in the tree). Mom and dad watched the whole time and I saw mom in the nest later that night.. Wish I could have helped more though 😢
Hello sir, I definitely had to stop & say, thank you for posting this classic video moment. I am glad you & yours were safely out of harms way. That is actually a very beautiful shot out front from your security camera, excellent position. I hope you have safer weather in this year. Please, stay well.
Kid on the bus: Bus driver that was our stop, and you didn't stop- Bus driver: I know that darling, and I am trying to stop the bus to let you out, but the wind from the tornado is pushing us, see sweetie, tornado...
The warning siren gave them almost 4 minutes before noticeably strong winds started, and several more minutes until the worst hit. That amount of time can definitely save lives!!! It doesn't seem like very long, but if you take sirens seriously and get your family in a safe location inside the house, 4 minutes can be the difference between surviving and not surviving a devastating storm.
It looks like a summer storm in Miami Florida. They are very scary with wind and lightning, we get them almost everyday in summer and they last for 1 hour or so and then the sun comes out but they can stop a whole city these summer storms that we have
Hearing those sirens gets my fight or flight going. Reminds me of when I was 14, getting caught in the middle of a derecho heading home. I ran like hell for my friends house a street away and watched the storm blow over in her living room
yes i remember it being beautiful outside then suddenly huge clouds appeared and I thought nothing of it until the wind really picked up. Me and and my family went swimming that same day because the sky was perfectly blue an hour afterwords.
Reminds me of a beginning of the outer bands of a hurricane about to hit. You don’t need to be in the eye of the storm to have intense winds. This particular video didn’t show the other videos I’ve seen of this storm which showed more intense winds which DID show like an outer band of a hurricane.
that's one day you didn't have to water the garden...at the 4 minute mark I'd reckon on bringing my garden furniture in. thanks for posting, I felt warm and safe watching it over here in London!
I don’t think I’ve ever been so focused on a garbage can in my life lol!
Yeah, but couldn't take my eyes off the tree, since it is a small one. I thought it might snap or blow over.
The sound of that wind was so eerie.

The only folks who stayed in service were those who had generators that fed off propane or gasoline, or if they were really lucky, natural gas. Edit - Or their own solar panels.
@@tinydancer7426 I remember that one. I was in high school and my nieces and nephew were at our house with my parents. No basement and we just huddled in our laundry room with pillows and prayed. I remember seeing lightning on the ground
@@KiraNightshade Where were you located? Here in MD or a neighboring state. I don't remember lightning at all, just the crazy high winds and torrential downpours. What amazed me was that my EMPTY a been because trash cans didn't move at all. Musta been that my shed, while not actually shielding the trash cans, was close enough to break up the wind. But my tumbling composter sure was spinning ..... the vegetation inside got stirred together REAL good. :0D
Omg! So intense, I just kept wanting to tell someone save the pretty plants. I felt so bad watching them whipping around like that.... Hope your garden survived
I was pulling for the sunflowers.
If you look closely you can see Jim Cantory struggling to stay on his feet yelling at the television camera.
🤣🧥🌧☔️💨
Cantore will “brave” any storm to be on camera. I change the channel now when he comes on. How many times do we have to watch him stand in a hurricane to know that it’s windy. He did crack me up during a downtown report. He was out in the snowstorm and
He was out in a snowstorm and was frightened by a “thunder snow” and let out a yelp like a little kid. They cut away so he could regroup.

What have you done today? "I watched an overturned garbage can for 10 minutes. Men staring at garbage cans..."
What is it with the sidewalk on this side of the street? A few feet past the driveway, it stops.
Thanks for posting. Very interesting.
As bad as it was here, other parts of the state suffered much, much, more damage. This town, Ankeny was hit by a killer tornado back in '74. If you live through one you never forget the dreaded siren.
Lived in Illinois for 63 years and I must say this looks like a typical summer storm complete with tornado sirens.
Yep. I'm from Arkansas, and if there's not enough, home, roof , or tree damage, it's just a rascally normal storm.
I live here in Iowa and yeah once or twice the season we get get this here if we do get a tornado it lasts 2 seconds if that or we just get the strong winds
@Daniel Serrot 129mph? Welcome to tornado ally
@Daniel Serrot Yeah, that's normal where I'm from.
@@heatherphillips5983 not for that long of a period lol. Get off your high horses. Not the only ones who live in tornado alley and many others can admit this wasn't normal
Outside of the extremely unnerving sirens, as someone from Florida, this just looks like a stormy late summer day.
The derecho still damaged Cedar Rapids badly, wrought some wild damage
It's estimated that Cedar Rapids, which received winds in excess of 120 mph for 40 minutes, lost 65% of its tree canopy to the derecho that day.
Same, I'm from Oklahoma and spend a lot of time in Kansas and Missouri. Original tornado alley. This was a good spring storm. The sirens were Erie and bring back memories of past Oklahoma springs.
I’m a little confused, cause I was expecting much more. This just looks like a storm with some moderate wind. I’m wondering if I’ve been like, desensitized to storms from living in Tennessee. They can get bad here.
It doesn’t look terrible at this angle, but the wind speed was awful and you can moreso hear it than see it at around 7:26 when it looks to be the worst of it. The best explanation of a derecho that I can give is that they’re almost like if you took a strip from a hurricane but it can sustain better on land than an actual hurricane could. The areas that were hit are not accustomed to high hurricane-like speeds and tornadoes did form during it because of the perfect conditions for it.
Check out Cedar Rapids Derecho and you will be silenced.
Okay, I think I’m understanding this phenomenon a little better now that you put it like that. Storms do occasionally get very strong in the Nashville area, but it’s obviously more of like, straight line wind gusts, and it’s not terribly common to have multiple tornadoes fully form and reach the ground.
@@bman3020 I’m gonna look that one up now!
These comments are hilarious. After I read your description I hit like before watching, love your sense of humor!
Me betting on what time frame this garbage can is going to fly.
Ikr , lol..
same
Yup
it must have been heavy as it tipped over and didn't blow off
My First thought too.
Next category one hurricane I'm jumping in one of those Iowa strong trash container s. Damn thing didn't move more than two feet. Hang in there Iowa😉
Craig Clayton , it was probably full of ears of corn
Top trash can. In fact I thought it must be a fire hydrant or mail box it was so well planted in. In fact if you're desperate for shelter I'd dive into that.
That is what I am thinking. Trash cans save lives
I went almost a week without power because of this storm. A giant branch fell into my car and my neighbors tree fell into my back yard. I'll never forget watching my umbrella flying directly into the air. I'll also never forget my entire city being blackout dark with the rumble of generators. I hope your family and friends stayed safe.
Why did the wind change direction? At 5:00 its blowing to the left and towards the end its blowing to the right.
Cuz that’s probably how tornadoes occur. Idk
Correct me if I’m wrong
@@DA_TV71 that's what I was wondering
Video says it's a derecho but derechos don't change directions like that. Tornados do. Tornados can form within derechos.
@@TheDjcobra2001 yeah,
Legend has it that everyone is still waiting to see "chaos".
Yeah, I saw a rainstorm not much more.
So, that’s a tornado siren. Unsettling sound. And the wind goes wild just like that.
If you want to hear what most sirens sound like you should listen to and watch Pecos Hank "CREEPY TORNADO SIREN - Dodge City Twin Tornadoes 5-24-16"
At about 1:38 is where you hear what they sound like if you were actually outside in-person with them on. The other videos of sirens don't do them justice. There are so many sirens and they echo in the distance and they also turn so they have this very ethereal sound all around the area and I've always thought of them sounding like angels singing and warning us of danger coming.
Digtzy Dog Okay, Check it out. Thank you!
Be safe.
@@dectel257 You too! I love tornadoes and the sirens so if you have any questions I live in Dixie alley and could answer them :D
Digtzy Dog You love tornadoes??!! Aren’t they dangerous?? I’m from the West Coast so we don’t have those sirens here, albeit, fire engine sirens, yes, due to all the fires 🔥 we have.
@@dectel257 Ever since I was little I wanted to be a tornado chaser... Don't get me wrong it's fear-based affection right... XD I have nightmares almost every day involving tornadoes in some form... Just yesterday I had a nightmare about having to get a bus of people into the crawlspace of a trailer as a tornado came straight at us. They are absolutely my worst fear, but I have always respected them and enjoyed watching videos of them ever since I was little.
I live in Des Moines and My dad had a tree fall through his roof as a matter fact his roof just got put on yesterday. He still has the hole in his ceiling. Dealing with the insurance company is nuts!
1:17-ish RIP head phone users. I hope that school bus was done with it's route and was going back to the depot.
Bus should not have been on the road.
Erica Gardner where was it supposed to go? lmao the storm was abrupt and random. were they supposed to just teleport to safety?
The caboose I suppose!
I saw this comment at 1:13 thankfully
@@cashtwonine generally, evacuation is best... the driver would be safest to park and "abandon ship" so to speak.
Based on the stability of the empty garbage can, it appears that these winds were less than 20 mph. So why call it a Derecho? This must have been near the fringes of the event.
That's amazing! The air was more still than death; and then, it's like God pointed His blow-dryer straight at you! It's so surprising to see how much tall, slender planting survived.... 🌻🌻
Damn that siren sounds creepy as hell
🚌 School bus driver was like get me the hell out of here!!!!
Uu
I hope the kids were off and safe! But driver was like, 'Annie get your gun and let's make tracks!'...
Vivian S how do u know it was kids on there
Lol
Our Phoenix “monsoon” dust storms are a lot like that. You can stand outside and watch as this giant wall of brown/black dust approaches. When it gets to you roof tiles fly, patio furniture flies blocks, fences blow over and cars are damaged. It is a giant plot by the auto body, roofing and landscape industries.
I live in northern Arizona but I was in one of those monster dust storms one year I lived in Phoenix ! Still coughing up dust and ear wax is ugly brown ! I was raised in Bakersfield California and still walk funny from the earthquakes people think I am a little tipsy ! Hell maybe I am !
@@bettyhouk8727 🤣🤣🤣
Blizzards are the same. Snowstorm is snow falling but blizzards can look like white, vertical sheets moving at you. You drive into it and you instantly can’t see the road and have zero sense of distance as you’re surrounded by white.
@@bettyhouk8727 lmao
@@bettyhouk8727 I'm Up near you! The Monsoons we have had this past week has been insane! We've had flooding and power knocked out for 4 or more hours.. crazy!
This isn't "moments" before a storm. It's 9 minutes before a storm. And "chaos"? A garbage can fell over. And didn't blow away. There may have been a bad part of the storm but it missed this house. This is a mild Florida rain storm.
I live in Ankeny and woke up as the first siren ended. Looked outside and it was nearly pitch black. The wind picked up so fast and the rain that came down was insane! Fun little fact: this storm rolled across the entire state of Iowa. It destroyed thousands of acres of crops, blew buildings apart, and thousands of people lost power for at least a week. A derecho is basically like an inland hurricane and we had zero time to prep for this. Take a look at some footage from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This was no “mild storm”.
@@krystalbauer967 At this house it was. Hardly chaos. I've seen the cedar rapids footage. That's chaos.
@@nativeson2633 Oh definitely! This door bell cam, cool as it is, didn’t show how nasty the derecho actually was. I wish I had thought to capture what I saw first hand at my place. It was insane! The winds were so crazy it was sucking the door open, I’ve never seen rain like that and watching huge tree limbs crash across the street was just nuts. And like a true Iowa idiot, I drove around town a while later and was gobsmacked! Power lines down, trees split in half, crops flattened…. I felt both blessed and saddened.
Why did you ruin this for us?
Yes I knew the can survived down but not out🙃
I live in Cedar Rapids. My "re-cycle" container blew away and was gone for 2 months. Someone returned it to me by the ID # that was on it. It is cracked about a quarter of the way through. Need to get a new one. Yikes.
R.I.P to “Oscar the Grouch”.....1969-2020 😭😭
And yes I did go all out and google the first year of Oscar 😂😂😂
You just know that poor lonely trashcan sitting out there at the end of the drive is going to get it. But you can't stop watching.
When this happened I was Home Alone!!!! I was so scared
@Olivia Harris I was too..it was so scary and a loud roar..I felt the same way!
Olivia Harris funny thing was I was not home when this happened. My daughter and I took a trip down to St Joseph, Missouri to visit a couple museums and find antique stores. It was a small thunderstorm down there
I would have been underneath something in a corner! 😳. Do you have storm shelters!
@@margiepelcman9837 Most homes here have basements. I was in the safest room in the basement I could find..
margie pelcman, No just a basement
I don't know why but i'm thinking of the calm part as the glow plugs on a diesel engine warming up, and the chaos is the engine started. 😂
That stillness is so scary. It’s the calm before the storm. 🙏🏻
poor birds what do they do to survive
I'm thinking about the birds and squirrels too. With half our trees down it makes me so very sad for them
They basically just find shelter lol they go near houses if the trees start getting blown to hard
They're fine tho
Animals know hours and even days before the storm and get to safety..animals are very smart..I’ve noticed birds act different before severe weather.
It wasn't a good day for babies.. We had nests all over the place. One mom was sitting on a live baby on the ground and sadly her other baby laid dead about 10 feet away.. I was able to put the live one back in the nest (luckily it was still in the tree). Mom and dad watched the whole time and I saw mom in the nest later that night.. Wish I could have helped more though 😢
You should se Cedar Rapids hundred year old trees gone, 50ft silos caved in, we had 125mph winds near my house
@@OneBrokenEgg there weren't even winds recorded that high the highest record wind speed was 126 for cedar rapids
Daniel Martin you're right. Shes just tryna gain sympathy. Cedar rapids was just shy of 130MPH. Which was the highest recorded gust
@@gamingreposts6134 lmao they deleted their comment
I know, I live there. It was a deafening roar....😵
I remember 100 + mph winds when hurricanes hit Houston, only they blow like that for 5 to 6 hours nonstop...then, there is severe flooding!
Makes me think it was Florida the way the storm all of a sudden pops up
I love how the bus and work truck just cruise through like nothings going on 🤣
Wow, those sunflowers were standing their ground. They were determined to stay put. Must be all the love they feel there. ;)
I want a relationship as sturdy as that trash 🗑
Even though fall together like it but we stick together 🤣 ikr
Sturdy.
Exactly
Oh yeah,god put Tornado sirens on this earth just to make my hair stand up.Better than anything on Halloween.
Outstanding footage. I jumped a bit (lot) when the sirens went off. Thanks for sharing this.
Mary Nichols lol. When I hear sirens I don’t flinch. But then I am into tornado sirens.
Hello sir, I definitely had to stop & say, thank you for posting this classic video moment. I am glad you & yours were safely out of harms way. That is actually a very beautiful shot out front
from your security camera, excellent position. I hope you have safer weather in this year. Please, stay well.
What kind of garbage pale is that? I get one gust of wind and I have to fetch my pale from down the block. That was honestly impressive! 😂
Kid on the bus: Bus driver that was our stop, and you didn't stop-
Bus driver: I know that darling, and I am trying to stop the bus to let you out, but the wind from the tornado is pushing us, see sweetie, tornado...
The whole time I was thinking wow those are some strong plants.
Your description was funny and informative on how things went. I'm glad the sunflowers survived. Real suprised the can didn't go flying
The sunflowers got so big I watched people stop and take photos with them and their families on their walks. Can’t wait to grow more this year
The warning siren gave them almost 4 minutes before noticeably strong winds started, and several more minutes until the worst hit. That amount of time can definitely save lives!!! It doesn't seem like very long, but if you take sirens seriously and get your family in a safe location inside the house, 4 minutes can be the difference between surviving and not surviving a devastating storm.
Wow! It knocked the trash can down. Mind you, it didn't move it after it blew over, but it knocked it down. Scary stuff!
This is how a real life war of the worlds would start. Sirens, the smallest movement of a tree ....
King’s “The Langoliers”! Can’t pass a wind farm without thinking about that movie either!
How quickly the storm arrived after the alert went off, was long and I imagine this was only the beginning, take care everyone
No, actually that was it. It was over really quickly.
Imagine being in those blue porta potties when you hear that siren go off. 🙃😅
What I really want to kmow is, why did the ghosts start in with their EVP session @ 4:40?
It looks like a summer storm in Miami Florida. They are very scary with wind and lightning, we get them almost everyday in summer and they last for 1 hour or so and then the sun comes out but they can stop a whole city these summer storms that we have
Hearing those sirens gets my fight or flight going. Reminds me of when I was 14, getting caught in the middle of a derecho heading home. I ran like hell for my friends house a street away and watched the storm blow over in her living room
Not even 5 minutes to turn what seems like a calm, cloudy day into "all hell breaks loose" wow....
Scary.
yes i remember it being beautiful outside then suddenly huge clouds appeared and I thought nothing of it until the wind really picked up. Me and and my family went swimming that same day because the sky was perfectly blue an hour afterwords.
Reminds me of a beginning of the outer bands of a hurricane about to hit. You don’t need to be in the eye of the storm to have intense winds. This particular video didn’t show the other videos I’ve seen of this storm which showed more intense winds which DID show like an outer band of a hurricane.
The beginning... is that a tornado siren? I’ve always wondered what they sound like.
0:40
God, I love those sounds. Beautiful, peaceful, soothing.
Fr! So sad that my township has only 1
And it’s a FS 2001 130 siren. About 3rd quarter mile away from my home
9:51 of time lost forever... Was expecting at least a flying trash can! 🤔🤣
No worries Tom Randall, there will be more
30+ mph winds and yet the pinwheel on the lawn still refused to spin. That stake was strong af and is my new inspiration lmao
I'm still looking for the pin wheel. Lol
that's one day you didn't have to water the garden...at the 4 minute mark I'd reckon on bringing my garden furniture in. thanks for posting, I felt warm and safe watching it over here in London!
I'm in Davenport. I will never forget this day. Still dealing with crap from it !! How'd you all fare in Ankeny?
