Video of the second super cell within an hour to move into the quad cities area. Doppler indicated rotation above Bettendorf, IA and I had the camera pointed in that direction as the storm moved in. The large cloud that appears to be touching down is not a tornado, it is known as an "Inflow Tail". I stopped filming as an RFD came in.

  • man i will never forget this damn storm...talk about nuts!!!!

  • @misterBHC2011

    Yeah it was pretty intense. I hope we get some good stuff this year, but no injuries or fatalities.

    It's strange, I wasn't scared or nervous filming this, but watching it a couple years later gives me goose bumps. I never realized how haunting all those sirens around the QC sound.

  • where did you film this at? we live in bettendorf too.  saw some wicked things last night.

  • I was standing near Augustana College by the stadium.

  • i live in morrison illinois and the second came right thru here. erie fire dept. said that they ha done on the ground and so did albany, my dad is on the fire dept.

  • Yup, that cell featured in my video is the exact same one that moved directly through Morrison. I went home shortly after filming that and tracked it as it moved NE towards you.

see all

  • i rember that

    ill never ever forget it

    btw that wasnt a tornado

    that was a straight lined wind storm

  • lol I remember this. I was sitting at work and it felt like a bus hit the building. lol I was totally clueless. Power was out and my garbage cans were running away. I had customers freaking out asking me what was going on haha. Like I had any idea...I got home and my cats were still pretty upset two hrs later.

  • I'll never forget it...I was with my kids and girlfriend of 3 weeks (now wife) and we had to take shelter in Southpark Mall. As a tree climber I made alot of money cleaning up the widespread damage the rest of the year too so I will not forget it for that reason too!!

  • realy!!!!! i dont live that far from augie...

  • Missed Morrison by THAT much.

    Missed my old home in Mount Carroll and dad's in Chadwick by a distance though.
