MONSTER DERECHO intercepted by Dominator Drone

Monster shelf cloud with DERECHO that traveled from Utah through South Dakota including a smooth pass over the Rocky Mountains and across the northern Plains! Intercepted by Dominator Drone here near Bison, SD near the absolute apex of the bow echo

I live in the "heart of Ohio." My neighbor made a passing remark about the "storm expected about 11:00 p.m." The next day I chewed him out reminding him that I live where I get almost no TV reception and basically only spotty Internet. Next time warn me! The irony of what is now considered the 2nd worst natural disaster to hit the US totally fizzled when it hit the state line. Thank Heavens! While watching these is exhilarating I have painful memories of the damage a small one short lived that ravaged Central Ohio some 8-10 years ago. My electricity was out for 3.5 days. I lost everything in the freezer. These fellow Americans not lost not only their food, but their crops and homes. We were so wrapped up complaining about not being able to go put to eat, we completely overlooked the crop losses and have forgotten this is one reason food prices have shot up and some things like breadflour and canned corn willi

[@heroknaderi]

[@joelanning4322]

Thanks Reed, magnificent. Really awe inspiring. Since I was a small child, watching these storms from my grandparents screened in porch which faced west. In a small town in Kansas, Coats which is 10 miles southwest of Pratt. I've had such a fascination with them. Incidentally, Greensburg is just 15 miles to the west of Coats, which sustained an F5 in May of 2005. You have quite the job, chasing Mother Nature. I envy you a lot. Thanks for all the videos.

[@kompst_tu]

Everyone else just now hearing about derechos? It's like they JUST started being a thing, but no, they've been a thing since the beginning of time? Mandela effect, anyone? Edit: People are really pissed off that I mentioned the Mandela effect. Legit, some guy just said "To suggest it's a false memory just because I hadn't heard of it is the *height of arrogance."* Another commenter said that I can't claim it's a product of the Mandela effect because I "obviously" don't know what the Mandela effect is. The Mandela effect's official definition is as follows: "The Mandela effect is an unusual phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occured." This is broad, right? Well, I remember Derechos as having never existed until now. That's an example of me remembering it differently. Now, does this mean I believe that? Of course not as they've been around for a long time. People are seriously offended and it's hilarious watching them try to talk down to me because of it.

[@jayryan2900]

Never heard the term until these recent videos, and I've been around a long time. I never heard "bomb cyclone" until fairly recently either. Maybe people get bored with old names for meteorological monsters, so they come up with new ones.

I've known the term for some time now, but yeah, it's only just now that the word "Derecho" is entering the public lexicon, even though we've seen a major one back in 2012 and have had others before and after.

I wish there was footage like this of the derecho that hit Cedar Rapids, IA on 8/10/2020. That was a monster! 45mins of 100+ sustained winds (143mph gusts) and heavy rain. ALL of Cedar Rapids was without power, cell phone service was spotty at best. Since there was no power, anywhere, that ment no stores were open, no atms, no gas, nothing! I was without power for 10 days and others were out longer. I'm still working on fixing my house from that storm. Cedar Rapids has had a few crazy, record breaking weather events in the last 20 years!

A derecho hit my town a couple days ago. This usually isn’t too much of a problem because houses where I live are built to withstand winds like that but my pigeon coop wasn’t. It tipped over but my bird got out because the floor slid out before it fell (it slides out so we can clean it easier). My friend was nice enough to come over during it and bring him to her house where he could stay in one of her coops. I feel like another one may be coming due to the speeds of the wind right now and my weather radar shows a huge storm coming in. At the moment wind speeds are 64 kmh and it could pick up some more.

Been watching a lot of your videos, Reed. You always have extremely impressive footage. I can't believe how close you're willing to get to these beautiful storms. I grew up in State College, PA right up the street from AccuWeather. As a kid I really wanted to become a storm chaser as a career and now that I'm older, I deeply regret not pursuing that goal. I am a video producer though so maybe now I can start chasing. I really want to chase hurricanes too and I think this season there will be some monsters.
