Flat Corn Derecho | Farm Damage

[@snakerancher]

I've been dreading this video after hearing about the storm. Sorry to see all the damage, glad you're all ok.

[@mattsteitzer1457]

Lasted an hour. I've never experienced anything like that

[@MatthewHoag77]

@@mattsteitzer1457 Same experience here. Very strange.

[@fredfranklin8816]

God Bless farmers everywhere.

[@claymieras5428]

I’m so glad that Ryan is ok

[@MatthewHoag77]

Most important point is that all of you are okay. All the rest will be better in due time. The storm hit me not too long before it hit you, and my house was essentially unscathed, but there is a lot of damage here in Iowa. I tried to work last night in Newton, but the situation did not allow me to get anything accomplished. Get your rest when you can, Ryan. We will all be here when you are ready to post videos. Family and farming come first.

[@charleslloyd1683]

I seen the video of the Brown Brothers far in Iowa. They will still be finding debris in their fields for decades.

[@never-2-late997]

I am so sorry to hear of your damages , I was born and raised in Iowa and lived through many tornadoes. One thing I learned farmers never stay down, they rise about the storm. My prayers are with you and your neighbors

[@tim_g3478]

Ryan, thanks for updating your channel on what went on. Although we aren’t there to help you clean up, many of us were concerned about how you and family fared in the storm. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and community as you clean up, repair and rebuild.

[@gungadin6889]

So glad you and your family are alive and physically ok. Everything else can be replaced. Farmers are tough, they have to be.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Thank you for saying what you said about hooking up a generator. Some people as simple as it sounds don’t realize they need to shut off the main breaker for the power coming in. I have a friend who is a lineman and he was injured from someone doing this. Small generators usually are not strong enough but a power takeoff generator such as yours could easily cause harm. I’m sorry to hear about your crap you guys work so hard to have a beautiful crop just to have it flattened is disheartening

[@dianelewis6321]

I’m so sorry about the damage you home sustained. Bless you!

[@condod414]

The damage caused by the storm is incredible. 🙏🙏 you and your family are safe.Thank you for taking time thru all this to keep us in the loop. Hope the well problems resolve quickly.

[@timadams2042]

You are fortunate to have each other to help put things back together!

[@SteveHolsten]

God bless you, Ryan. Thank God you & your family are safe!

[@brentkreinop489]

I had a similar thing happen to my house several years ago now. I'm not a small man by almost anyone's imagination, but an oak tree a bit larger than my diameter fell on my house, nearly splitting it in half. I still show the pictures to the younger kids in my family asking if they want to see Uncle Brent's tree house :) In my case I had just paid to have the roof replaced only six days before. Stuff can be replaced, though it will hurt for a while. Good luck and enjoy the meteor shower. Be thankful you weren't injured during that tree falling, your house is able to take far greater an impact than your skull :)

[@MarkStCharles]

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Be safe and take care!

[@blueovaldawgs]

Thanks for taking time to share during you guys stressful time. I'd never heard of a deratio till we had one hit here in VA in 2012. Hang in there bud

[@joegilly1523]

It sucks that the farms in the middle of our beautiful country got whacked like this .Hope you and all of our farmers can recover FROM THIS NASTY STORM . Prayers for you all . I’m from upstate New York, we get the huge amounts of lake affect snow . But it does not kill our income . Hope you can bounce back.

[@theozman38]

Glad your all ok. So sorry about your crop damage. Looks as it been steam rolled. Good luck 🍀 to you

[@ianhaggart1438]

If I was over there I would be offering my help. Hope every one effected is OK. Stay safe. All the best from Scotlands 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 farmers.

[@kristenscott9438]

So relieved that you guys are safe and have no injuries! Praying that everyone is able to come back from these nasty storms! God bless you and your family, Ryan! So Sorry you had to go through those scary times! Thinking of all who were affected by those lines of storms! My heart aches for all affected! Hoping you'll be able to get some rest as best as you can! We're with you guys in prayers! I can understand that it'll take awhile to get videos up! NO worries! Take care of your friends, family, and neighbors first! As Matthew said, we'll all be here when you are ready to upload video!

[@alecfromminnenowhere2089]

This happened in northern Minnesota on July 4th 1999. It went from Lake Of The Woods across the state and flattened trees in Superior National Forest. People were trapped under tree's in the BWCA in their tents. Years later some of the areas largest forest fires were from the massive blowdown. My heart goes out to you and the people of eastern Iowa.

[@bigatruckingandhuskies5976]

Really glad you have awesome perspective, thoughts and prayers to all those affected.

[@davidchapin8297]

Sorry for all the damage. I have been waiting for this video. It is amazing just how much damage the storm caused. At least you are all safe. That is the main thing. I know the loss of the crops is going to really hurt. Praying for you and your family as well as all that suffered loss.

[@glennspreeman1634]

sorryy for your loss doesn't come close to covering your loss. I'm so impressed with farmers strength in times of trouble.

[@Kevin-ex2yb]

So glad you guys and the buildings survived alright. Devastating news about the crop. Stay safe.

[@dennis2376]

Sorry to hear about the damage to the farm, may you have a better year.

[@barrydarnell9748]

Very sorry for your troubles Ryan, Travis and your family’s. So glad no one was injured and damage was less than it could have been.

[@bbyrd826]

I am sorry for your loss and praying for you, your family and your neighbors. God Bless.

[@7996hobguy]

Your dad is a good man, and a great support system. Cheers to your pops.

[@killerdragon2011]

I’m glad everyone is ok and I know how it feels to lose that much corn to wind we had a storm go through two years ago that did the same damage as you guys got hope everything else goes better for ya

[@Steven-vo8tk]

Glad you all are safe. Sorry for any loss crops you may have. You will be in my prayers.

[@TheCheekymilf]

im sorry to see the damage to your farm very sad glad see u all ok

[@markeholbrook]

I hope most of your corn recovers. That storm died out when it got to SW Ohio, it was just rain and moderate wind. Cole the Cornstar farm got a lot of damage too. It was a crazy rare storm.

[@karlbrohammer9105]

Glad you and family are safe.

[@Chuckiewashere]

We had a similar storm roll through Central Oregon a few months ago wind speeds peaked at 115 Mph, see this makes me glad you all are ok.

[@tomcleverley18]

Praying for y'all. Any crops flattened are a troubled mess. I've had fallen wheat, hay, and corn on our old family dairy farm back north, but nothing like that y'all have. We are in a little Holler in Kentucky now and just few acres of vegetables now, not hundreds of acres of crops. GOD BLESS

[@MrBusdriver63]

Good to see that you and Trevor and you're Dad are all ok. It is very disappointing to see the Corn been damaged. All the best to you Ryan, from Australia.

[@ncm55449]

My heart goes out to you guys...... I've been thru 2 of these big nasty storms in my life,..... and I don't envy the work you have ahead of you....Keep your head up.....Keep the faith....

[@dennyr6248]

Our best wishes for a good recovery. Our area is cleaning up after an EF2 tornado blew through during Isaias. Now we know what your neighbors felt like last summer. Mother Nature can be cruel. Glad none of your family was hurt. Hope no one was hurt anywhere

[@DaBigE67]

So glad to see you're all ok. Stay safe.

[@marshallkrabs3348]

The year was looking good, hopefully the crops can recover. Glad you are all safe!!

[@jeffjefferson3364]

Unfortunately once they are over they are done. I'd say they may cut them for silage

[@CalebUUCH04]

Dang Ryan, hopefully everything gets better, praying for you guys 🙏 🙏 ❤️

[@mbusch76]

The fact that you and your family are ok and you all still have a roof over your heads is the best news. Tye damage to the outbuildings and your crops sucks but hopefully you can recover from that. Prayers for you and your family.

[@waterskiingfool]

Glad your family was ok. Nice to see family coming together to help. Damage can be repaired. Just keep your head up things will get better.

[@philipaldridge3749]

Hi Ryan, I live in England so I really don’t have any concept of the storms you have out there but it looked really bad. I think you were really lucky that tree go through the roof. In time everything can be repaired and put back to square one. The main thing is your safe to fight another day. Don’t worry about the videos too much until you are back to normal. I wish you and the rest of your family all the best. Cheers Phil.

[@EtzEchad]

You guys are so industrious! You get a disaster like this and you are up on the roof fixing things before it even dries out. I had a wind storm like that hit my house and blow down a big tree, and it was weeks before I got it all cleaned up.

Another youtuber- Colethecornstar lost a lot in this storm. A couple of their silos were brought down, and their corn was laid down too. Hope all of y’all recover from this. I know storms of this magnitude can be unforgiving.

My heart goes out for all farmers and people who have been at a loss from this event

[@Steelrailbearing]

From the fan base that's been following you for years, this was painful to watch. That opening scene was scary, I can't imagine what that was like. I appreciate your effort to give us an update despite the dire situation around you. When I heard about the damage in Southern Wisconsin, I was incredibly curious how you guy's made out. I'm relieved you consider yourselves, "some of the the lucky one's" surrounded by all that damage. Take care and be safe.

[@TheSuperdave81]

God bless y’all!

[@BassheadGTP]

Hey neighbor, i live in Rural Solon, Iowa were out of power for a week or so, we have a sump pump and that fun jazz in the basement, glad it didn't flood my basement. Had a hell of a time finding a generator/inverter. That wind was INSANE down here. The damage around here is terrible. Gasoline shortage too. Glad y'all safe up there.

[@frankdeegan8974]

With the old dairy barns, when we first started seeing the small dairy farmers selling out for various reasons, my Dad told me the barns if not used and kept weather tight they were doomed as we see happening today, 50 some years ago. I have not lived in a farming area for 40 years but this is still hard to watch, farm buildings over the years cost a fair amount of cash to maintain but they do give a very good return on your investment.

we had 2 antique tractors, one worth quite a bit of money, sitting between our house and garage when the storm came through. we had a lot of branches and even a trampoline go through our yard. but both tractors survived without a dent or scratch. we were very lucky. but out town went five days, i think, without power.
