Intercepting Dangerous Midwest Derecho - Live As It Happened - 7/15/24

[@kruzzin88]

Just watched you and your Dad on Max Plus. My heart goes out to everyone that gets hit with tornados. You storm chasers put your lives at rick to inform people and to help people and may God protect you all at all times. Bless each and every one of you. Never stop chasing and thank you for all that all of you do.

[@LisaJones-l6k]

I love how you guys tell how the tornadoes form and it helps me understand better how they form and what kind of tornadoes they are

[@dal8716]

Im a weather buff. Grew up in the midwest where thunderstorms sometimes violent thunderstorms were a part of life. Love this vid, stay safe.

[@optimistkimprime3004]

Вы видели торнадо?

[@tonikrumme4652]

I’m new . I just watched the 7-15 -24. I hung on to the end and loved so much seeing the lightening. My favourite thing, that was so awesome. Thank you for being excited about the lightening.

[@vance9449]

Thanks!

[@Overlordplayzgaming]

2$ nice

[@ZESWATGY]

I hope meteorologists see this video. This derecho spawned a lot of tornado warnings on the front edge of that derecho 7/15/24, but no tornadoes were detected. Showing what the clouds and winds were doing on the front edge of the storms while tornado warnings were being issued is very valuable information. I love what you do, and y'all did an awesome job with this intercept. Stay safe! ❤

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

I was actually watching and there were cells spinning in opposite directions, there were a few tornadoes on the ground in eastern IA and western IL.

[@jmarshall3150]

This got super dangerous when it got close to Chicago. Zero visibility at that point and lots of tornadoes. Ef2 hit Franfort while I was at work. Close call for us there.

[@miskaffon]

Not sure where you got the idea "no tornadoes" formed. Last count there were 26+ declared by the evaluations. Eastern Iowa central and north Illinois.

[@chandrikapasumarthy6433]

Good paragraph

[@LindaDehollander-n8p]

Yep I can hear you stay safe love what you do

[@seamorethesealt]

I caught the whole event, crazy straight line winds up to 100+! And also saw a few tornadoes here and there.

[@lauralamkay1246]

Amazing cell cloud. Massive and huge! Stay safe

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

I knew this one was gonna be tornadic as it came up so fast and strong, then after it passed we were watching the clouds in the sky swirling in opposite directions!

[@sierrahortwein8902]

I am from Kewanee! my family and friends still live there. they have a bunch of damage from trees. 😞 they are saying tornado! people spotted funnels over town.

[@dm3144]

I like the fact that you’re live in person and I can see your face. Thank you so much. I don’t really know why I’ve binged watched tornado videos, but I do. I’m 70 years old and I really like it.🎉

[@rexwhite8444]

Love what you do! I watch for you often. You and your dad are awesome

[@LisaJones-l6k]

I love storm chasing with you guys I can here you guys

[@Sushi2735]

Just discovered ,I’m so much better at spotting storms than snakes. That’s why I stay out of the woods or long grass. Great job!!! East, go East. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@paigemaddi]

Wicked chase today Freddy! 💯❤️

[@paigemaddi]

@MadiYT. we are a great team ❤️

[@LisaJones-l6k]

Your so awesome Freddy

[@antoniacarneiro3995]

❤❤❤ I love watching your videos, the places are very beautiful.

[@mlgauss60435]

Too bad I wasn't here last night. I could have told you some shortcuts towards Lost Nation and Delmar, then on towards DeWitt. I know all those roads! I lived in Maquoketa for over 20 years, went to school there, and Oxford Junction.

[@sheilabounds6315]

I’m watching from Nebraska, we’ve had some really bad weather this spring and summer

[@sabinehasewend]

Good evening freddy!thank you for the interesting video.

[@Starligh0]

That Strom is moving fast!

[@Koolkid_Podcast]

[@leonardhill4440]

Yes!you and your pops are an awesome team. You dad is very cool. Ty

[@MaidenAriana]

Roughly an hour later from what you see at 2:40:55 in this amazing chase video is what I watched approach from my windows. This monster was so huge and affected such a widespread area. It was garbage night where I was too so the whole area is littered with garbage now. There was no warning or time to pull in the bins. The sirens went off after the initial line passed too so people had to scramble to their safe areas while hearing minor debris smack their homes. Excellent work on this chase!!

[@Lolosmommie]

Crazy how it went from like 87° to 70° in about an hour. That's definitely tornadic weather.

[@lauriemontalvo8708]

I'm from Wisconsin we get alot of tornadoes it sucks I hate basements ❤🙏 hope everyone was safe and no real bad damage

[@johnnymartin5995]

Mr.Mckinney go to 2 hours and 56 minutes right before the interceptbits looks like some type of demon faces looking directly at you it's really trippy

[@cheryldavis5376]

Stay safe!!!

[@MuscleMaxZ1]

superb video, very exciting! Is "qlcs" the new favorite term for weather chasers to use??? I trust somewhere in the video you explained to us lay people what that stands for and means! But, I did look it up! Nice work!!!

[@lauriemontalvo8708]

I know this is old but had to leave a God bless to you and everyone ❤

[@Pdstor]

I took a 10.2k J/kg CAPE sounding with sufficient 30-40 knot mid and upper level support to boot just north of the metro on the 20z HRRR and decided to "chase" by staying at work in downtown Des Moines and NOT taking PTO for once. Got the EF-1 just as it crossed the loop, took a few decent pictures for the NWS. Cell formation and merging happened about a county NW of town over only a half-hour span just ahead of the southward-bound OFB from the main line by Ames, carving a brief but PERFECT hook echo and fat wall cloud as it rolled in. A chase partner of mine got a brief one up by Iowa City at 20z too - what a day!

[@kevins5252]

In illinois i forgot what day but we had a siren happen and after wards we saw HUGE trees knocked down

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

Welcome to Iowa lol, am I a funnel or not? Am I going to snow or shine? You just never know...

[@moocherthecat]

This storm is red causes a supercell making a thunderstorm is a tornado warning⚠️

[@gregusmc2868]

Look at that cabinet cloud! (Usually some shelf clouds hiding in there!) Stay safe!

[@lauriemontalvo8708]

I heard under bridges don't want to do or sit in a car god bless you all that do that chasing stotms 🙏🙏♥️♥️

[@meagabro302]

My friend's friend was in Chicago. He was watching cartoons in the basement during the derecho with 14 tornado touch downs.

[@anthonyfaccaro7118]

Live in kewanee, officially EF1, usually misses us, not this time.....missed work tues with trees and power lines in my driveway, couldnt move until they cleared it...what a mess

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

I got pointed for missing work due to that reason during the 2021 December tornadoes in Iowa lol. There were people driving thru yards to get around town.

[@mrsim1976]

Great video man ! Nice ride ! 😄I've never seen a derecho where I live but this is pretty impressive ! It looks like the apocalypse !

[@LindaDehollander-n8p]

5:16 no I missed it I do believe it's on Bob's road LOL stay safe

[@cjon24s69]

Super familiar with the whole area between the Quad Cities and south of Geneseo, hit East Moline pretty hard but rapidly intensified after it passed Geneseo. Was watching the live news and they showed a 130mph reading on the velocity around Kewanee. Lived in the QC for 25 years have never seen winds like this storm.

[@michaelveis6498]

We don't get derechos here in the Los Angeles Basin. Either that or they're extremely rare.

[@hossineelouasli-xc5ht]

Thanks 🙏🇲🇦

[@dottiemcclung1714]

Stay safe 🙏🙏

[@valeriepark9444]

We knew well ahead of time this was coming, and being from Cedar Rapids, we did NOT mess around. We turned the baby monitor camera toward the window, just so we could see what was happening upstairs while we waited in the basement, and then we wouldnt be tempted to go look out the windows ourselves.

[@Wolfhound3]

yes, I’ve seen you. I love that show. Thank you for telling people about it. It was so amazing but so scary at the same time by the way if you watched a new episode, did you watch the hurricane Ida one? I just discovered your channel and I really like it. once again, I found a person which ones to look at natural disasters from a close, but I grow up. I want to be a storm chaser.⛈⛈⛈

[@noellord2796]

I could remember a time when I was still growing up the spider lightning's lasted all evening after a storm here in Athens Georgia. Don't see much of it now

Будьте осторожны. Это все-таки опасное явление как торнадо.

[@sandipage1471]

Sweety ... I'm from MS.. Rolling Fork is just up the road from where we reside .. plus I'm from Grenada County which lies adjacent to Montgomery and Carroll Counties .. in MS.. I recall seeing you n your pop . When did you cut that pretty head of hair of yours .. or are you just getting around to letting it grow long ? Either way you've got great hair .. if I was about 45 yrs younger .. 😅😅😅😅 I am teasing you .. I'm no cougar or alley cat or feral cat .. I'm married .. but I ain't blind !! 😂😂.. Our hearts were broken 💔 for our MS. neighbors in Rolling Fork .. Amory . Winona .. Black Hawk.. everyone affected by that dark stormy night .. seemed it would never end .. I didn't think that damned tornado would ever disapate.. it was on the ground for miles n miles .. ... When I was a lil girl around 10 maybe .. a huge tornado destroyed our community in Tallahatchie County .. I was born in Tallahatchie County .. yep that one in the old Ode to Billy Joe tune .. n movie .. but God warned us at church that Sunday night of what was gonna happen weatherwise .. He promised our safety .. He kept His promises that night .. but mobile homes looked like crumpled soda cans .. brick homes were .. wooden frame homes etc. were wiped from their foundations ..another tornado. storm carried a baby from the Oxberry community in Grenada / Tallahatchie County areas for like 35 to 40 miles ofcourse the child was almost unrecognizable when they discovered it in a tree like a piece of insulation or something . My mom n dad were young kids when this one took place .. my dad said they didn't have to pick cotton that yr . The storm blew it all away .. my parents were children of poor but proud sharecroppers ..sharecroppers whom worked hard just like the slaves .. but they weren't treated like blacks were back then.. I learned a lot from their stories .. how to NOT BE A RACIST .. most importantly .. I recall my mom telling my 3 sisters n I about that tornado that carried that precious baby so far . But Mom said when they got in from school it was pitch black dark and it was like freight trains coming from every direction .. they all had storm shelters .. they used their shelter for storing food too like potatoes n onions , peanuts .. n canned goods also.. sorry for the length of my post God Bless you ALL.... Be kind Be humble loud love ☮️🫶🙏👋😎😳🙈🙉🙊👀🤔😳🌪️⚡☔🌪️⚡🌀🌧️🌩️⚡⛈️🌪️🌬️🌊

[@GabrielleLuke-vq5lh]

what a big tornado

[@Among_us_Chicken_Nugget]

It feels so weird watching this after I was also in this storm on a road trip, and it seems, I thought it was gonna be different from a different angle, but really, it's not cause I was on the edge, I was heading in Salen, Oy when the big storm hit, so I have no idea how to even explain how weird this storm was from a real point of view

[@dalebeers776]

Intercepting means to abstruct something to prevent it from continuing. QUESTION: How are you going to stop this thing?

Yes.i watch it

All the time I kept thinking...man that Chad is a quiet dude almost comatose. Now, I'm leaning more towards Chat and that would be us. When someone says the word debris I always say oh yep I know Billy Joe Debris, he played for Dallas back in the day. Other than that I'm prolly just going to bed.
