Cedar Rapids Derecho Live Camera Aug 10, 2020

A fast-moving derecho storm raced across Iowa on August 10, devastating everything in its path for hundreds of miles. The damage in this area of Iowa was like being hit by a 40 mile wide tornado.
Before heading to the basement, I pointed my camera out the front window and hit record. It recorded the first 30 minutes of the storm as it busts up our neighborhood.

    I know I commented on this video before, but I'll say it again. This is one of the best storm footage videos I've seen. You get to see this thing progress from somewhat benign and watch as it transitions into this monster that wipes out most of the trees that were there at the start of the video. And they let you see all this without the annoying music or commentary that plagues some of the other storm videos out there.

    Jesus is the only way. We have all sinned and deserve Hell. Sins that may seem small in our eyes are big in God's and are worthy of Hell, such as lying lusting and stealing. But if we repent and trust only in Jesus, he is faithful and will save us from Hell and give us eternal life in Heaven. Trust in Jesus! John 3:16 Romans 6:23❤

    This storm forever changed the landscape of Cedar Rapids. Man, it felt like this lasted an eternity when it happened. Almost an hour of these winds, and debris for months, actually more like a year. So glad people could pull together and help each other out. We were out of power for 11 days during the heat of summer. Not something I’d want to go through again, but definitely won’t be forgotten any time soon.

    Growing up in Iowa I was used to the threat of tornadoes, but the scale of this storm was just an alien experience to me. I was in the western suburbs of Chicago that day and had multiple large trees come down on porches and cars on my block, I had half a tree fall in my front yard. This was basically a Midwest hurricane in scale.

    This happened on December 3 2007 on the Oregon Coast, gusts of 85-90 mph in Astoria where I lived, I was 4 but I remember the roofs blown off houses around me, trees falling over, widespread damage! Not just that, but it lasted over 24 hours. Oregon coast storms are underrated. They're not hurricanes, not thunderstorms, but just regular coastal windstorms and they can last quite a while and be pretty intense.

    Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. Over and over again. Holy heck. It's like a sustained downburst (I use that analogy only because I've been through some). And that truck driving out there....I hope they made it home safely. I experienced my first hurricane (Hurricane Hilary) last week down here in Southern California. Although, by the time it made its way to me, it was a tropical storm. But it was still intense with gusts up to 70mph. We suffered a lot of damage. It was whiteout, much like this. We flooded instantly because it's the desert and our ground is not able to absorb water like in Florida or Texas where hurricanes are common. So the 4 inches of rain it dropped here caused significant damage and flooding. What incredible footage. Thank you for this. I hope the costs of repair and replacement weren't too extensive. RIP, you beautiful tree 😢

    This is awesome Brother! I lived through a Cat 1 Hurricane in Suffolk, Virginia USA in 2003. Hurricane Isabel was her name and she destroyed tons of houses and trees. I still remember the night she hit like it was last night. Pine, Tulip, and Massive Oak trees that were healthy fell like they were little toy trees. We did not have power for 14 days. I can not imagine what you folks go through with tornados in the Midwest area of this country. You are hardcore people and I respect you. Peace.

That was the thing that saved me from being outside when it started, because there was no warning. Clear sky one minute, terrible storm the next. We were thankfully some of the lucky few in our neighborhood to only have trees taken out, many others had collapsed garages and/or shattered windows.

    When we get windstorms in the North West, it depends on how dried out the greenery is. If there was a heat wave or drought earlier in the year, the trees are brittle, causing more damage. Specially with larger branches breaking off. Another factor is ground saturation. Certain trees don’t have deep roots OR the ground is too wet and whole system pops out of the ground.

    Watching this from Naples, FL. This is basically an eye wall experience... ‘washing machine’ effect, ‘constant roar’, thinking that there’s no way the wind can get any stronger- then the next gust blows your mind. You wonder how much more your house can endure... what damage the tree limbs are doing to your roof. Then the logic starts to kick in.... “if all of Cedar Rapids and surrounding areas are just as bad, the cleanup is going to take weeks. Maybe months. And we may be without power for days, if not weeks.” I’ve been there, I know. But you’ll make it through this. You will. Stay safe. ✌🏼

    I remember this Derecho that hit Illinois. I was sitting in the living room table after I got off work from 12:30 P.M. while I was sitting in the living room table, just around 4:00 P.M. the sky starts to dim. I thought it was 7:00 P.M. already, but when I looked through the kitchen window, it was pitch black north, and I was like "What the hell" I got out of the chair and looked out the kitchen window, and I was very much surprised, I went through the garage and open the garage door and as I walked out of the garage a gust of wind came right at that moment as I stepped outside as I looked northwest saw this Derecho. I heard thunderous booms against the grain silos, the wind was that strong to make those thunderous booms from the grain silos. I was taken by surprised. After my dad came home from work we decided to head in the house. I never seen such a storm like this, before. I have seen strong thunderstorms before, but nothing like this. I still remembered this Derecho as of today. Such a wild experience from this storm. It kinds died down after it passed over Illinois.

I quickly knew I had to tail it to the basement. it was very scary. it lasted about two and a half hours before it even remotely calmed down me and my sister who was home at the time were a bit shaky as we had never experienced something like this. after about another hour and a half it was calm enough to go out to pick up downed trees and just seeing all the damage within a shortish time range was depressing. we faired ok after it passed but we were out of power for nearly 12 days.

    As a person who lives in Texas you probably get hit with derechoes all the time and don't realize it. They are common throughout the American continent east of the Rockies, though especially in the Midwest and the great plains. Hurricanes overall are far most destructive, but just like tornadic storms, derechoes are much more locally dangerous. You wouldn't want to stand outside during one, while you could definitely stand outside during a hurricane (although not recommended). I presume that's why they aren't as publicly researched, but I assure you they are always being studied in depth for better prediction, etc., even if research funding for hurricanes and tornadoes far overshadows derechoes. Basically, if you're getting hit with a derecho, follow the same safety measures you would as if there were a tornado and you'd be fine.

    Remembering to buy an emergency radio after this lol It might be late to say but really sorry about the damages. It's good you guys were okay!! Amazing footage and the audio is weirdly soothing despite the chaos.
