Storm Footage (edit) - Bennington/Omaha, Nebraska - July 31, 2024

[@AndysAutismLifeStory]

This storm had to be at day time because how bright it was but at first was so dark. That is amazing... I have autism and I love to watch tornado videos and stuff.

Yes, this storm began around 5:30 p.m. and went on for an hour before the wind died down. It resulted in the largest power outage in history (for the Omaha area). Around 250,000 OPPD (Omaha Public Power District) customers were without power, some for more than 7 days. I lost power twice, once for 36 hours and again for 30 hours (and the power lines to my neighborhood are underground). Thanks for stopping by!

That opening scene with daylight fading and HUGE outflow was breathtaking. The green sky amazing. The lightning bolts fantastic. I found the fast forwards on video very disruptive to my viewing experience. I would have instead enjoyed clips for each segment, with fade outs in between. The fast forwards really broke the flow for me. Congratulations 🎊 on witnessing this event.

I appreciate the feedback. I haven't done a video like this before. I debated trimming the "fast forward" bits out, but decided to leave them in to give a better feel for how long the storm lasted; and, to give a bit of a visual that it really was about an hour as opposed to a storm that hits hard for 15 minutes then just rains.

@@rainmakr3595 Usually, someone may post a storm with gentle drizzle, mist, and 15MPH windage and call it a "terrifying" storm. If it's 11-year-old kids doing it, they'll jiggle the camera a lot, and insert some cheesey CGI, if they're skilled enough.

Now that was more like a hurricane!! Was this a derecho storm?

[@rainmakr3595]

According to the weather experts, that storm was not a derecho. The derecho was earlier in the year :). .......... "Although a technical issue, this storm is NOT a derecho. A derecho is defined by the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) as a long-lived windstorm that produces consistent wind damage over a path of at least 400 miles and must be at least 60 miles in width. The windstorm on July 31 traveled only 230 miles from west of Lincoln to east of Des Moines. The width was also less than 60 miles. An example of a derecho would be the storms that came through Omaha on the morning of May 24th."

@@rainmakr3595 Thanks for the clarification as I wanted to tie up the confusion. This must have been a beefy squall line rather than a supercell? 👍🏼😉
