Day After Tomorrow Buffalo Blizzard RESCUE by Stormchaser

[@davidsiracuse6672]

I grew up in Western NY and was 11 years old during the Blizzard of 77. It is something that I will never forget. When you are a kid you have no fear of these blizzards, you get days off of school and just want to go outside with your friends. As an adult you clearly see how dangerous they truly are. Stay safe and warm and thank you for helping others.

[@hamletksquid2702]

I was just north of there in Canada. Got off school early and started shoveling the driveway, and gave up after the third time through.

[@amysbees6686]

So did I! Grew up in Niagara County!

[@realtruth716]

you are so right David I thought the same and when I got older I realized how much my parents did to protect us..

[@BuffaloKelly711]

People froze to death in their cars on the 33 by Harlem road. They're being found today. That's the absolute worst part of the turnpike. As you probably know, it always gets jammed during snowstorms. But this was a cyclone.

[@jeffhodge7272]

Many people watching these videos are all "it's winter." " I survived walking to school in snow up to my" blah,blah blah. Nobody has to tell me it's winter.I grew up in Me. It's the severity of the storms that's concerning.🥺

[@mordecai4207]

Wow sir seeing you rescue those people without a seconds thought brought a tear to my eye. You are a good kind-hearted person and the world needs a lot of those right now.

[@thedouglaspodcast]

Literally crying 😭😭😭 I love Reed so fkn much. That’s not the first.. second.. third.. EVEN FOURTH time I have seen Reed rescue someone in a weather event 🥺 he’s doing it constantly! Putting his own self at risk to help others. Yes, he puts his own self at risk anyways 🤣 but he’s beyond a professional. Any normal person (especially those with health risks) should not be out if Reed it out!!!! Ugh.. he’s just an amazing guy all around. Love him!!

[@mleecthulhu]

Its the buffalo way

[@gordonhall9871]

yep -- he's been in and seen people hurt in tornados

[@Scottstunts]

Amazing footage! Your a good man.

[@jms1086]

I can’t even imagine what being in that storm would be like. It looked like a blizzard hurricane. Well done Reed and team.

[@stepheneshelman800]

I’ve been plowing snow for 15 years in western New York. This is the second blizzard of this magnitude I’ve ever seen. Stay safe out there. God bless you for helping people in need during these events.

[@daphnelattimer9952]

Thank you for helping too, Stephen.

[@GalenlevyPhoto]

Thank you for rescuing those people. We had a blizzard here in Iowa with non stop strong winds for 2 days straight. It’s calming down. It was below zero for 2 days straight with peak of -11 with -40s wind chills. Many people had to stay home. It’s very dangerous to drive on exposed roads with snowdrifts blowing all over the roads.

[@Ak-lp5up]

We been knowing about this storm for the pass week .. I can’t feel bad for the idiots that decided to drive around RIGHT before the storm hahahahaha I hope they learned a lesson

[@luv2luv720]

I wonder how animals are doing?

[@jeanrenn5269]

I live right outside Omaha, NE and wow the conditions the last few days have been brutal. I haven’t seen my chickens in three days so today I heated up and went and checked on them , they were all fine and loved the worms I gave them! The two horses we have look like huskies instead of horses their hair is so long and fluffy. Luckily we were prepared and didn’t have to go anywhere so we have been hunkered down for days! Be safe everyone!

[@karenquave7684]

I'm glad to hear that you're ok from South Mississippi.. It's been brutally cold for us as we're not use to this kinda of cold.. It's been in the low 20's wind chill factor in the teens.. But nothing compared to y'all.. Please stay safe and warm 🙏🙏❤

[@nickkearney4083]

Thank you for being a decent person and rescuing those folks! Merry Christmas to you and yours everyone!

In canada and russia this is nothing. We are use to big overexagerated snow storm. And temperature colder then this. Like -10 -15 -20 -25 degrees celcius 😂 Amerikans became very sensitive since the 2010s. Are you expecting winter to only be around 0 degree celcius with some pretty christmas movie snowing 😂

That cold is hard on the lungs. Awesome job, Reed. You did good.

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

@@Ak-lp5up well, some people might not have access to that information. Some people genuinely don't care, but some would, but didn't get the information. I went to the lake too, to catch the waves, thinking the snow would take longer to tighten its grip on the area, but the heaviest snow and winds hit right as we were driving back home quickly after taking some video of the lake. We pretty much were able to get home completely safely because the roads still didn't have much snow and we were driving very slowly and I was the one navigating with Google Maps, and decided to take side roads home and not the interstate because the whiteout conditions on the interstate would've been brutal. They still were on the side streets, but not as bad, because we had way more buildings and trees helping to block some of the blowing snow. Not everyone that drives in a storm like this is an "idiot".

Just another day at the office for Dr. Reed and his crew!! Thank you for all you do brother!

[@stevenbuklad4866]

So, I was doing some research last night. As background, I am a weather geek born and raised in the Cleveland area. The big one we always hear about around here is the White Hurricane/ Blizzard of '78. Legendary meteorologist Dick Goddard had a great chapter in his first book about it. It is very worth the read. RIP Mr. Goddard... Anyway, the White Hurricane and this storm had many, many similarities. The barometric pressure was about 15 mB difference at its deepest point, the peak winds were similar (both reaching Cat 2 hurricane speed), and both took similar paths. I think where we (the eastern third of the US) lucked out is that the blizzard of '22 storm was centered on average 75 miles further north than the track of the blizzard of '78. I feel this prevented the storm from really tapping into the Gulf moisture. While Buffalo still had Lake Erie come home for Christmas on many levels, the Gulf moisture would've caused a much wider snow event. An example story from the '78 storm that could've been replicated had that happened: a trucker was buried in his semi for 3 days in Cleveland under a snow drift so deep that the National Guard was rolling equipment over his rig without even knowing it until some of the snow fell away. Reed, if you see this, I would be curious about your opinion or more scientific comparison of the 2 storms. Thoughts and prayers and hopes for Christmas miracles to those affected by the storm. Buffalo is certainly getting it this year. My hopes that winter takes a chill pill for a little while and allows Western New York to thaw out enough to be able to collectively go outside and touch grass.

[@johnryan8859]

10 days after the Nov 22, 6ft 6in storm we were looking at green grass. In 2014 we got 7 ft over few hrs longer period but that also was gone in 10 days. Both those storms caused the Bills to play their scheduled home games in Detroit. In 77 the drift was completely over my house.

[@sugarcleveland3405]

Day After Tomorrow is exactly how I had described what my family & I experienced last weekend when we were all huddled together in the living room & boiling pots of water on the stove for heat wishing so bad that we had a fireplace. Piling on blankets & comforters & trying to keep our animals warm & safe!!

8°F with wind chill=. -14F. I feel for those guys. but they are saviors as they care about people.

[@amydavis4945]

Wasn't there a driving BAN in place? I thought I heard that from the Mayor or Governor. These folks should have just sheltered in place. Thank God Reed was out there and able to help! I would assume a driving ban would not be for those that are actually out there rescuing people.

[@ceceliaclarke]

We had warning after warning after warning. People in the area of Buffalo had a full five days for pre-blizzard shopping. We had ample time, to make plans for early departures to homes of friends and relatives, for Christmas celebrations. Seems to me, with all the information that we had, concerning the timing of this storm, it was just a bit selfish, for anyone to go out in a car, just in time to be caught in it. Do something like this, and other people will be obligated to risk their own safety just to rescue you.

[@jessicablueheart9772]

That's what I'm saying

I drove my 2008 Corolla in the February 2022 Toronto blizzard. I have some of the best snow tires to be found but the snow was heavy (not fluffy) and it had reached a depth of 8 inches, with drifts of 12". The tracks that I was following had snow around 6" deep and I had no problem, but in subdivisions, the snow was an untouched 8" deep and I had a hard time moving. If it hit 9" I would have been stuck. I had a full-sized snow shovel to help 3 people get unstuck. My advice = don't drive when the snow on the road is over 6" deep.

[@dyates6380]

I'm from Buffalo originally, and was out and about the entire time during the blizzard of '77 (of course, being a young and hearty nineteen year old helped as I and my best friend tried to help as many terrified drivers as we could by getting them out of snowbanks and on their way home from a shortened work day, as people were told to leave around lunchtime), and from what I see from Cleveland where I live now and from talking and communicating on social media with friends and family back there, this one is much worse. The good thing is we at least knew this one was coming and back in '77 we had no clue. It is heartbreaking to think people perished in this, some just in their houses as power went out and the brutal temperatures and winds were merciless. I pray that the worst is over.
