Curbside Scavengeing (After The Derecho Storm)

Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

[@Hackbridge1963]

Watching from the UK. The last storm we had was in 1987. Shame to see the destruction and Kudos to you Mike for being respectful. I have to say I loved that scripture that was at the front of someone's house Isaiah 41:10 Good bless you all in these times 🙏🏾🇬🇧

[@I_Don_t_want_a_handle]

Funnily enough the UK has more tornados than the US. They are just the proper size, is all.

[@kimberly1273]

Yes! Mike ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lynnkellyheartlands2341]

[@kenmock308]

I commend you Mike for not going through people's stuff they lost in the storm! My thoughts and prayers are going out to the people who lost their homes and much more! 🙏

[@Ecw530]

Thanks for the totals!!

[@pathartsock9161]

I appreciate the fact that after all the loss those people have had, that you did not want to go through all of the stuff they had in piles beside the street. Respectful on your part. That is such a sad scene to look at.

[@foamyflightmaster9385]

Lot of families having a bad time after that storm hope things improve soon, thanks for including some real footage

You’re doing such good work. The Townships should be paying you for all the $ you save them! Prayers to all that have been impacted by the storm🙏🏼

[@StephenStockman]

I almost picked up that ladder off Tuckerton. Wouldn't fit so I left it there and laughed thinking maybe you'd find it. Then I see it on here and started laughing.

[@hopper345]

Mike you have such great integrity thank you for sharing 😊

[@samwestoby140]

Glad to see you made it through that storm

Hey Mike thanks for your great videos. You are a hard working man showing people what a real work ethic is! God bless you and your family!

[@alabamared2568]

Hey Mike as a trained storm chaser I was looking at the Houston NWS page. And when this system enters the city limits of HOUSTON wind sampling from dual pole radars got readings of over 120 knts just 400 ft above the surface.... I'm glad you and yours made it through ok!!!

[@d.t.4523]

Thank you Mike, keep working.

[@rexterrier1]

[@kathleenmead9259]

nice score; glad you are safe.

[@skriedemann]

we had a Derecho storm roll through our town in 2022, the destruction path was pretty incredible! And I went out during it to check on a senior neighbour who had a tree crash through their window, I was honestly scared for my life running across the road and back, dodging flying debris. Mother nature can be a mother f***** when she wants to be, glad you were safe Mikey

[@brendajones1763]

I live in Indiana seen alot of destruction by tornados. Prayers for everyone , stay safe.

[@mikeyoung5211]
