Intense burst of winds from a thunderstorm

[mcgyvr2009i]

Ouch!

[skateboy159]

[MakeupTeen94]

OMG HOTDAMN, someone ticted off mothernature...

[bunny08able]

thats old viedo...this was on a vhs tape from the mid 90's that took place in canada i think.

[Jvizzlezz]

It's Chuck Norris exhaling.

[bizzle187]

holy crap.. it looks like hell on earth

[NightXFlash]

We have storms like these all the time from may-july here in Indiana

[h5y]

I was their in 99' I think. It was definitely raining this hard and there were crazy thunder storms It was pretty cool.

[3camaros73]

Piss poor video recording. Stop moving camera so much.

[ysflightman]

@3camaros73 LOL. Your comment makes me laugh a bit. This clip was recorded in the mid-90's and was shown on hundreds of Tornado/Sever Weather shows up to the mid 2000's. Your whining is invalid.

[FIREBLADESrule]

either a tornado nearby or somthing they call a micro-burst.

[theYoda09]

0:14 tree down

[backyardstorms103]

yeah i have experienced big winds

[adomede]

go take ur dog on a walk.lollll

[Trainsim010]

fly a kite, pretend your flying, launch a paper aeroplane lol.

Good vid. :D

[somprsn2525]

Holy hell!

[TheYoyobeast]

0:02 tree!  0:16 where is it???

[matysek123456]

Man it's just sooo bad feeling when you see the trees are falling and you are totally powerless against the nature's power :(

[zaeem166]

Incredible wind speed! what was it ?

[IVIrYumYums]

sooooo did u like your vacation????

[Supervictor1211]

this happened on 6/22/10 in connecticut if i AM right

[ismaeltaleb85]

@Supervictor1211

Yes it did, although it was uploaded 4 years ago. Weird...

[artistdeterminedmsv]

Sick! (In the sweet way) Hope not a lot of damage happend on ur guy's house tho

[smokeak47]

A few week ago I had winds like this at my apt in charlotte. We rarely get severe storms and I've never see anything like that before. It lasted about 10 sec and managed to knock down 50 percent of the trees behind my apt. I tried to film it but it was over before I got my camera. I'd guess the winds were 100-120mph.

[zaeem166]

Its amazingly strong! how strong was it? 75-80mph?

[MDHmodder]

@zaeem166 over 150 km/h would be around 90-100

[julieification]

Thanks for sharing. That was unbelievable!

[StarWarsGirl7]

Woah! Was that a microburst? SCARY!!!!

[sk8lifevolcom25]

damn

[grooveycat]

Oh awesome post 'SlayerNumero2' I can all but feel the power of that storm, must of been nerve racking & exhilerating to experience, all at the same time! thanks for sharing, stay safe! x

[ProudiPhoneOwner]

Wow!

[StarWarsGirl7]

I.....would....be....so.....SC­ARED!!!!!! O_O

[miguelisms]

looks like a derecho

A derecho (from Spanish: "derecho" meaning "straight") is a widespread and long-lived, violent convectively induced straight-line windstorm that is associated with a fast-moving band of severe thunderstorms in the form of a squall line usually taking the form of a bow echo. Derechos blow in the direction of movement of their associated storms, similar to a gust front, except that the wind is sustained and generally increases in strength behind the "gust" front.

[mhoffman01245]

what kind fo storm was it just a bad storm hurrican tornado thoise winds look like about 60 mph or so

[jayhoyt28]

@mhoffman01245 60mph? Try somewhere in the 100 range.

[StevenShields29]

I"m gonna huff...and puff...and...

[jimbojims]

damn, i woulda loved to have been there. nice work filming. videos never do it justice and that looked intense so it must have been sick to be there

[whitetornado603]

HOLY SHIT BATMAN

[juss4me1234]

oh my god! That's the wierdest thing... how long did this storm last?

[jaypay777]

was it a tornado

[dragonridley]

No, If it was a tornado rotation would be evident. It was a microburst

[OverlyExcitedNewJack]

dude, thats bucked.

[goflames1212]

that is a wicked video! well done to capture that! Was everything ok after??

[padude64]

Looks like a microburst!

[AlejandroAsaguerra89]

scary

[hammerogod]

Excellent Vid

[CharlestonChew03]

WOW, I would be freaking out! I wonder if those winds would blow you off your feet if you went out in them... They certainly look like they could..

[davidstorm0]

ohh. yea.... that is powerfull

[Stringprodigy]

Wow. Great footage! The winds would have accelerated outwards to much faster speeds than 150 kph once hitting the ground.

[wiiluigi1993]

HURRICANE!!

[lentopallo17]

was the storm scary? and how many trees falled down in the area where you was?

[shepboy8]

how many mph?

[negativethreeRandR]

WOW, strong winds!

[Bororeed]

Definetly a powerful derecho event.

[Toasty278]

chuck Norris sneezed.

[irgendwasauchimma]

Wow, nasty downburst....!

[pietrovaldes]

strong winds important storm

[kmsrangel]

Hey I know for a fact there is much more to this video. I have it on a VHS tape I got a long time ago about Tornados. This storm leveled acres of trees and if you could see the whole video you would see these trees being ripped apart. I hope someone can post the whole thing cause it is a sight to see.

[animalcrueltyhater1]

omg that couldve been an invisible tornado. some tornadoes r invisible.

[chizzywoo]

Now THATS what i call a storm!

[hailstrm4]

i agree

[54spiritedwill54]

that was scary

[OverThere1142]

omgz i would get to the basement as soon as possible

[patchcords]

Time to head for the basement!!! LOL

Nice shots :)

[certifiedgmane]

Lol why didn't they go outside

[Elephant7800]

We had a storm like that on July 13 1995,hit at 4 in the afternoon.I went outside and the sky was absolutely black and the birds were all silent.There was a huge gray horizontal rolling doughnut shaped cloud just above the treetops and more clouds that seemed to come up from the ground(dust getting picked up)Then you could hear this approaching roar across the fields,louder then Boom!The trees just bent over like a dog shaking a rag doll,temp dropped 20deg.dust and leaves were just whipping

[Elephant7800]

We had a 100year old barn go down,the roof peeled off like a banana and the rest just crashed into a heap,remains were scattered over 90 acres.12"barn beams cracked like matchsticks.The neighbours 30foot steel grain bins looked like krinkled pop cans,a cement silo went down and trees were just massacred everywhere.The woodlands looked like someone dragged a giant rake through,small skinny trees all bent horizontally the same way,big ones crashed down on top of each other like dominoes-scary

[TastyColoda134]

Straight Line winds, often in micro-busts, nice shots, about 115-140 mph winds there!

[monsterjamjames]

Do you still have the full version?(i've heard theres a full version)If you do please put on youtube!

[snak33y3s14]

Time to run outside

[crazedADDICTION]

Fly a kite!

[MakeupTeen94]

@crazedADDICTION hahahahaa

[hamsteradorable]

@crazedADDICTION  no the kite is gonna fly you lol

[tropicalchaser]

I'm a storm chaser and have been in hurricanes from Cat. 1-4. These wind gusts were near 90 mph. This is what I believe was called the Packwash Blowdown

[babyfacebosn]

i would be shitting bricks

[djmastervolume]

oh wow!

[gjf759]

yikes!!! those are some cool speed of winds

[davidlee110]

HOLLY SHIT

THAT ABOUT 150 RIGHT THERE

[turquoise70]

What year was this video taken in? I live in MN and I recall hearing on the news about all the trees that got blown down in the northern forests of the state, it was a huge disaster. This would be a few years ago. I think the storm was one of those big bowed-out-line types.

[Superbeast1370]

Lucky Canadians! ^^

[sirensymbol]

I've seen this video on just about every storm documentary I have. Cool stuff.

[StormInterrogator]

The actual video from this is 15 minutes long. Where's the rest?

[antiann52]

This is a good one as far as sound is concerned. It's just not long enough. It also sounds kind of violent. I didn't know that storms had personality, hmmm.

[Sean117Ply]

R.I.P tree's

[TheAetherealMeadow]

That's pretty strong.

It looks equivalent to a category 1 hurricane.

[nicpetrykowski]

thats a derecho

[padude64]

THAnk you for the great video my friend! ONe heck of a macroburst!

[jackthemaster101]

mircoburst**

[ThatGuyOverThere123]

microburst***

[jackthemaster101]

lol yea

[kirakun]

afro burst****

[horselover97g]

that was freaky!!!!!! i almost had a heart attack at 0:15!!!

[Hazafan88]

Where is this? It looks like its in the Pacific Northwest somewhere... Occasionally, the Seattle area will get storms this severe...

[jckhammer]

hey hazafan88 lol....the info tells you exactly where this took place.

LMAO

[Hazafan88]

jckhammer lol... you're funny. I admit, I missed that one... thanks! :D LMAO!!!

[jckhammer]

hehehe no prob man..didnt mean to sound like a prick

[Hazafan88]

No problem! :D

[padude64]

I remember experiencing a macroburst, almost like a tornado! This thing had hail the size of quarters and winds to 80 mph!

[RayAir1]

Did it sound like a tornado?

[Oakmay]

Yes. I've seen two before and its very frightening. But it only last's about 30 minutes or so...

[harrisburgtiger]

30 minutes?? we had a microburst this morning and it lasted like one minute but we had 110 mile per hour winds

[davidlee110]

YOU SEE AT 0:15???

[nicpetrykowski]

derecho

[nostej]

eerrg never mind, lol.. just read the info

[nostej]

that looks like a microburst... anyways from conditions explained, anyone confirm this?

[chizzywoo]

Whoa...never actually SEEN a tree being blown over before..power stuff.

[Scouts12]

have you seen a car getting picked up and tossed around theirs a video of it somewhere on here

[jkharris07]

Wow, that was stunning. the power of mother nature...

[dkc149]

was their a confirmed volcano

[Stormchaser2be]

Now i dont laugh at MANY comments...but that was fuckin hilarious...idk if you were just trying to be funny...(if so you get MAD kudos from me)...or if your really THAT stupid...in which case you get extreme pity...

[dkc149]

i was trying to be funny

[Stormchaser2be]

Ok lol...GOOD...i give you kudos xD

[DarkXAngel5]

LOL nice

[DivineTruth0107]

wow...........

[OmpoMikeLips]

its bad how downwinds could be so devistating

[al1377]

I want to see more video damnit!!!! Next time either have a full charge on the battery or sucker your kid to keep filming by the window. Kids will do anything these days for a few bucks.

[hurricaneNO]

Derecho...

[DiaSucio]

what a holiday xD xD xD

[lionsfan1014]

so much for a vacation!!

[moosanova]

Hey Weedmemate......

This is not a Microburst as you so claim...instead what you see on this vid are Straight Line Winds.....By far the strongest surface winds outside of RFD on the Backside of a Tornado.....

Do some research before you make a claim to something you obviously know nothing about !!!!

[CyrusNixes]

What!? Microbursts cause straight-line winds....This video was in Tornado Video Classics - Its a film of a microburst/derecho event in Canada. Do your reasearch before you tell others to.

[PietBerger]

Obviously you did your homework!

your right about the storm.

[westviewhomeandyard]

Hey SlayerNumero2,

I like your wild storm video. We had a storm last year around here that was similar. Come check out my storm video from this year at westviewhomeandyard . Not as wild as yours though.

Cheers,

Robin

[NittanyTiger1]

Was that part of a derecho?

[deejayonur]

yuup

[chngngsldr54]

Damn.

[sebringts]

I have this clip on a best of storm chases video...its pretty intense.

[Kylyky]

Blimey! Looks more like a hurricane!

[davydavo]

intense!

[weedmemate]

Now thats a proper micro burst!

[onehitta1]

that was fucking scary

[jangalomph]

i had a thunder storm like this execept the wind lasted for about 10 min and then it was just lightning... my dad has a wind thing and it was reading the wind to be 113 mph!!! it was awsome but we get storms like that like 5 every summer :)

[solboard]

I want to ride my bike in that!

[KrystalFrizz]

Um... yeah.

You'd be killed.

[TriAquaShell]

wow

just wow

[txrob74]

I have seen this in it's full length and it's amazing, but cannot find it online. It is straightline winds or a derecho. Derecho's are very destructive due to their longevity and size. This event is well documented along with many others on the NOAA's site, plus TONS of images. SPC dot NOAA dot GOV backslash MISC backslash AbtDerechos backslash DERECHOFACTS Derechos have quite a rep in the northern tier of the US and south Canada into the northeastern US. They can occur elsewhere as well.

[scoobyonline2000]

looks like it was filmed in the mountains because of those trees that look like pine tree's, I've heard of micro bursts happening here in Big Bear...... but I've never seen one until now... if this really is a micro burst up in the woods.

[hammerogod]

I am not satisfied that it was a simple Microburst.

I wish the vid was longer and the camera was steadier.

What I could see seemed to have some rotational characteristics.

[KrystalFrizz]

It was. Ontario is famous for them.

[brill550]

intense - yes that had to be either a derecho or microburst, nice footage, too bad we dont get storms like that in new york lol

[txrob74]

I've been looking for that video. Thanks for posting. Microbursts are awesome. Wish this clip were longer!

[fishmeats]

It's a downburst. I saw your video on my tape "Tornado Classics"

[Mattcat73]

That appears to be a derecho. Microbursts are very isolated in nature, derechos cover a much broader area. If this windstorm took down an entire forest, it was not a microburst. Both phenomena can be hell on earth.

[blinkingblythe]

This is crazy. Back when I was in the fist grade, I remember sitting in class, and I could litteraly see

a sheet of clouds *race in* from the horizon! That stormm was powerful enough to knock down trees across the road

[ThePsychohead]

OMFG !!!!

[88lostprophets88]

Buddy its kenora

[kevo201]

is this in B.C when we had those 3 big fuckin wind storms within a week and a half last the storm did the most damage ..or where is this?

[boomaticaboom]

damn! it's the storm or hurricane

it's crazy!!!

[KrystalFrizz]

That is a pretty cool video, but you might want to brush up on your microburst knowledge. "cloud material rushing to the ground" when a storm collapses(?) isn't quite correct..

[extremeweatherguy]

That is a very scary video. The winds looked to certainly be around 150kph (93mph) or may be even worse (possibly ~100mph). One thing's for sure though...I would NOT want to be trapped in a pine forest during that!

[btimsah]

That was certainly a downbursting or collapsing storm. I've been in one and you can't hear anything. It even shot water under the door and knocked out power for a whole day.. I think a really strong one is less common than a Tornado almost but their like hurricanes.

[jaymantriman]

Wicked Awesome! Will show to my Science Class!

[dreamworks18]

wow that was soooooo cool and scary! that happened at my school in Mississippi when I was in 5th grade, a microburst, it busted all the windows out of my class room it was the scariest thing i have even been through I think....

[icecaphoney]

this was shot in Kenora which is my hometown in Canada and it usually is never like this but it happened once and it was pretty big trees and signs were knocked over powerlines were knocked down this was a couple years ago it hasnt happened since but it was pretty amazing when it did happen

[ryanlock2u]

I really like this video. When was that?

[KDAY06]

Look at the video at 14 to 16 seconds, you can see a tree being toppled over by the wind. 8-)
