Combination derecho and haboob in Brookings South Dakota

Finally, a video of this storm that isn't a time-lapse or just a minute long. Nice video.

[@Deakybean181]

There are several really good ones out there like this but I do appreciate how this one is much longer!

[@JMarieCAlove]

Finally? There’s thousands of videos that are regular time, not time-lapsed, and last even longer than this video..I think you’ll be even more happy to see those video’s! Lol

[@swithinbarclay4797]

Time lapses "deliberately" skip frames and when that is done, you would miss essential details, visual information. Slow those down, and they turn into colorized movies from 115+ years ago. These then go hand-in-hand, with turning a video into a gratuitous, narcissistic selfie; patronizing [kindergarten-level] commentary featuring poor grammar & accents unintelligible to American ears; captions that are the aural equivalent, plastered across the action that you're trying to see; and, worst of all, making clownish jokes about something that's obviously terrible and tragic--making fun of some poor people's acute sufferings.

I had just left Walmart a minute or two before the storm hit. I was crossing the interstate when the wind hit and thought it was going to flip my truck. Must say that was the only time that I ever actually wanted to be inside of Walmart 😂😅

[@kentgutzmer1977]

This made me think about what it must have been like during the Dust Bowl. Can you imagine roaring winds tearing up miles upon miles of parched dry soil just compounding the effects of the storm. And these storms raged for hours literally burying everything in their path with feet of topsoil. It must have been hellish.

[@ShirleySerious]

Crazy how all the dust can turn it from daytime to even darker than night all in the span of minutes.

[@hkguitar1984]

WOW, that is crazy. For about 5 minutes it looked to be "end of the world" kind of scary. Not having ever been in a bad dust storm I think I can say I've no idea what that would be like, day turning into night. Thanks for sharing.

[@zenithperigee7442]

@HK Guitar, indeed, consider tho what the real "end of the world" is going to look like... Actually, as the clouds rolled in it reminded me for a second of "Independence Day" where the alien ships would slowly start to appear out of the clouds! Just think tho, this is another variation of "wind". We know some forces of wind can toss into the air, objects weighing tons, it can twist and bend large steel beams and "separate" the fibers of telephone polls and shove a piece of straw into it. It can also gently move across your skin & hair as a relaxing, cooling breeze... In all of this it's completely "invisible" but it's effects are still seen, heard and felt.

[@carbonwolf1087]

This is the first time i have seen a video conveying just how dark the sky can get in a storm

[@BellyJae]

I’ve experienced a few of these when I lived in Phoenix. Day to night in seconds. I also think I have valley fever from breathing in the dust during those storms. Ah well, the storm freak that I am loved being out in the middle of them.

[@hkguitar1984]

@Skyward Music Good Point Skyward. I live in Northern Michigan and years ago I had friends visiting from Arkansas who had never experienced a Blizzard. We had places to go and once we got on the road during the Blizzard conditions my friends kind of started unraveling! Like you said, its all what we get used to, are conditioned to accept and live with.

[@castlekingside76]

It's also possible for Derecho to create conditions darker than night. Dust blocks out all ambient light and your headlights become useless. I experienced that.

[@StephanyChills]

From what I understand is that there was a 1400 mile wide sand storm headed to the east side of the US. Now I wonder if a sandstorm is in correlation with a derecho. I live in the PNW so I don't know what this is like. I've been in a couple of micro bursts (driving not fun) but it didn't completely block out the sun.

[@dianaboyd7415]

You’re so right about headlights being useless. I was out in the middle of nowhere and you could not see. Leaves, dirt, dust and corn shafts going by at unbelievable speeds. I’ve been in 3 tornados but I was never so scared as I was driving through the derecho. Not only not being able to see, but my 21’ Silverado was picked up & thrown in a ditch with the greatest of ease. PTSD to this day.

[@Kevthebish]

Just when you think you're you're going to be okay and then the sirens go off. That was like a scene out of a movie. Very impressive

[@castlekingside76]

It's best to think of a Derecho as an unwrapped Tornado. Instead of cyclonic spin, the storms maintains all super cell properties but can widen to 600 km wide. So instead of an ultra violent 30 second Tornado, you get a 2 hour land hurricane.

[@frasersgirl4383]

We experienced a derecho that came thru our small town and it felt just like I imagine a tornado would!! It was terrifying! You could hear the nails squeaking as the wind pulled violently at the frame of the house! We were praying for sure!! Blew down almost every tree in town and exploded multiple windows in our house!

Yikes. What a storm. Have experienced a derecho in Tulsa (2012) that left behind damage that was comparable to tornado damage- most of the city's power was out for days, no groceries, it was crazy. But even having lived in TX and OK with many strong storms and tornadoes, to my recollection none of them made it pitch black like this in the daytime. That makes it feel so sinister. Glad you shared this with us.

[@ian2372]

I live in Texas and have been through 17 tornadoes. I've been deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan three times and dealt with sandstorms. This looked like the worst of both. I'm moving to Sioux Falls in August. I guess I'll feel right at home :D Corporate farms that clear the land and don't plant any trees for wind breaks are the cause of this. South Dakota needs to reform some of its laws.

[@zenithperigee7442]

@Ian, thank you for your military service! 17 tornadoes, good grief! I've only witnessed one that stopped a mile from my house & that's not a straight mile but a twisty one as the streets curve a lot. I never saw the funnel but the rotating cloud. The sound of the wind isn't something you forget and then the damage you could here being done in the distance. I wasn't sure what to call it but there was a small "ghost tornado" that spun off from it which came down the side street in this direction carrying some debris about 50ft? up... I looked at that thing like, "No, it has to go!" and thankfully it vanished and the debris fell. All went silent just as Fire & Rescue dispatched. It was like a war zone at the entrance/exits to the neighborhood with mangled electric poles, trees on/in houses etc. That storm traveled a length of nearly 50 miles picking up & setting the tornado back down. It was said to be ~137mph winds here. Hadn't been one in this area in nearly 100 yrs.

[@krystalm5988]

Derecho's have been around a long time. Meteorologist's just referred to them as "straight line winds" till fairly recently. I was in one back in 2008/2009 in Indiana. You could literally see the rain going perfectly horizontal, while lawn furniture and other loose objects blew along with it! lol Haboob's however, are rarer. A "dust storm" is lower to the ground and caused by surface winds. "Haboob's" are much higher up because they are part of a thunderstorm's winds. It's kinda like the whole storm system becomes an E-F1 tornado ... without the circular motion. Having both at the same time is phenomenal to watch - but I wouldn't want to be in it! Great job videoing!

[@SagebrushRambles]

Haboobs are not rare. They happen constantly in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico. Without a derecho there will not be a haboob. The only thing rare here is the state in which it happened.

[@redraptor9688]

I think derechos simply used to be under the label of "squall line" despite being somewhat different than a typical squall. The term "straight-line winds" was never used to label a type of storm.

[@simpinainteasyRHEC]

@@SagebrushRambles the original commenter stated they had experienced it in Indiana, I would think its safe to assume, us hoosier folks dont even know what a haboob is... so it'd be fair to claim its extremely rare and unheard of especially in southern indiana.

[@Breadmaker332]

Hurricanes get just as bad if not worse. Florida is actually one of the most vulnerable states due to it bordering both the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, both being warm during the summer. This storm only turned day into night because of the dust caught due to the low level winds caused by low pressures.

On a side note, thank you for posting a very worthy video documenting a very serious storm and you took the matter serious and was obviously protective of your family. I happened to watch another video of this same storm that showed the storm coming in with horrendous “narration” by some woman who was more inclined to video tape the storm than protecting her son…thankfully there was a boyfriend that was….kinda🙄. Hopefully y’all got through the storm unscathed❤️

One thing I learned…..we could see it coming and there was weather reporting several minutes before. My brother grabbed some plastic bags (the kind you get when shopping in a food store) and some duct tape. I helped him. We covered all the outdoor air vents (dryer, bathroom vents, fresh air intake for the AC system…etc) and taped them shut. Then we ran indoors and taped shut the door facing the storm arrival. This all resulted in far less dirt inside after it was over. After the storm was over, he also changed the AC air filters.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s beautiful.

I grew up in San Angelo TX. Every march we would get a least one that would cause all the street lights to come on . Seems they all hit around 3-4pm.

That was Utterly. Terrifying.

Awesome video.

[@jnf1270]

that looks like it's going to be quite intense. I grew up in Minnesota and we got some interesting weather there, but sad to say the weather in Los Angeles is quite boring lol

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

Did you get any rain out of that? Or just wind & dust?

A glimpse of what it was like in the Dirty Thirties?
