We experienced one in Southern Illinois in 2009 and it appeared out of nowhere with zero warning. Ours wasn't gradual as this one appeared to be. Plus, it was over in just a few minutes. Tree totaled my car after I removed comprehensive coverage. Most of the trees were not snapped but pulled out of the ground with roots and all. I guess they called it a super derecho. People at the restaurant we were about to eat at were standing right up in the window until my sister told management to move them away. Drove home to in a car that was crushed and pancaked with my sister and nephew who were visiting for the first time. It took 3 hours to drive just a few miles after trying every conceivable route. Drove that car, my only car, for months and anyone who saw it was dumbfounded.

@@bg147 yes that was the super derecho (inland hurricane) Intense winds too. It was an odd derecho in how it behaved once it crossed the border into Illinois. It’s comma detached from the main line and spiraled into an “eye” and had high sustained winds for 20-30 minutes before dissipating.

It's a American city and town decision because each city and town maintains and oftentimes supplies their own power. Plus it may be different from one part of the city or town to the next due to a slow transition from one type to another, which may take years. All the lines in my neighborhood are underground.

You can look at trees around town and see which way is west. Idk if they'll ever lose the bend they now have.

I’m from the hurricane prone gulf coast. Cedar Rapids was hardest hit. The sustained wind speed was like a Cat 1 hurricane but you guys got wind gusts of 130 mph. Down here, a Cat 1 will usually only have wind gusts of 110, maybe 120. Sustained winds are the constant winds with occasional gusts with speeds much higher. The difference between a dericho and a hurricane is the duration and the warning time. Dericho duration = 40 minutes, warning time = NONE. Hurricane duration = 4-8 hours, warning time = days. Aside from the damage, you’ve got to admit it was kind of fun and exciting! Can you see why we have hurricane parties? My motto. Cat 1 = a whole lot of fun. ( sustained winds of 74-95) Cat 2 = I can do. (96-110) Cat 3 = I will flee. (111-129).

My state of North Carolina had derecho winds of 165 mph on April 15 1999 . The tornadoes of March 28 1984 had winds estimated up to 260 mph near Red Springs and Greenville NC . The strongest winds I've been in was about 110 mph in Wilmington NC during hurricane Florence in 2018.. Hurricane Hazel of 1954 had winds of 150 mph in our state . I've been through more than 20 hurricanes here ànd several downbursts and floods . Nature is truly awesome and never ceases to amaze people . I have been writing historic weather events for over 35 years now . The Iowa derecho was definitely a once in a hundred year event . It was similar in intensity and duration to the labor day derecho that devastated upstate New York back in 1998 . That one also exceeded 100mph gusts .

And the one across the street is so damaged! Two of the three big branches are busted and the bark is stripped. Then there's the bugs. The bugs that used to reside in many trees are attacking the few we have left. 100% tree damage. I've heard, we lost, or will lose, about 60%.

Its concrete holding the pole secured very deep like 5 foot hole with concrete and rebar for extra strength in the winds like this I install inground hoops so I know how they are installed

This right here is why people in Iowa talk about the weather so much . I drove truck for a Waterloo company back in 08 and that year we went from a blizzard every week to flooding .

Do the building codes there require tie downs on the roof? I was impressed that the roofs weren't getting blown off. I had to watch the videos twice because I couldn't believe how intense it was. I don't know how you stayed so calm during it all because I would have been scared to death.

If you saw the first video, the roof behind the first row,... GONE! And no, I've never heard of a tie down for my roof. What is it?

Just so you know for next time close your garage door. Most homes come off their foundation because the garage door isn’t reinforced by today’s standards and gets blows in. When it blows in the wind creates uplift and it starts to destroy the home. You got lucky because the wind was coming from up the street and your neighbors homes were shielding you. Same applies for outside doors and windows. Keep them closed no matter what.

Josh Solheim Dude. You’re had no idea. If you did you’d be terrified, your heart rate would be through the roof and you’d be so panicked you wouldn’t be able to close that door fast enough. Your clueless is the only reason you didn’t close that door.

I swear we had a storm like this in my neighborhood. I couldn't see and had to pull over. Trees and branches were flying everywhere.
