Thank goodness you stopped where you decided to stop. Chasing isn't worth losing a life over. Stay safe.

I remember this day. We called it the apocalypse in Manhattan, Kansas because we had so many fires, a tornado warning, a police stand off, it was a crazy day.

I’m 17 years old and this was probably one of the scariest storms I’ve ever witnessed in Iowa I remember taking my sister down to the basement into my closet and praying that we would all ok

This storm actually hit me, it was crazy. A lightning bolt knocked down a powerline right in front of my home, it fell on a bush setting it ablaze for a split second. Trees were taken down, my fence fell onto my shed, scratching the surface. The power was out for a week as well.

That was an insane unforgettable storm. It hit Traverse City Michigan pretty hard when it passed over, and it took down trees and damaged homes right across the street from me. Our place felt like it was gonna rip apart a few times, couldn't sleep that night.

I live in Iowa and experienced both the December 2021 derecho, as well as the previous August 2020 Derecho. The latter hit my town harder than the former, but both were daunting to experience and driving around the state and seeing the aftermath was humbling. I didn't know how hard western iowa was hit until this video. Curse my love/hate relationship with tornadoes, storms, and alert sirens. Thanks for being the one to put on your balls of steel and brave/document this stuff first hand. Heres hoping this coming outbreak (April 4 2023) is gonna be tame, especially considering im standing right in the gunsights this time.

I am a storm chaser from Sioux Falls, SD, and was just beginning to storm chase around this time. I don't know what was going through my mind, but I thought it would be a good idea to get in front of this storm, with barely any chasing experience. I remember probably speeding north from Moville because I was just so unprepared. You may have seen my vehicle speed past at one point. But I made it up to Kingsley and actually parked my car under a gas canopy and took shelter in the corner gas station in Kingsley, before someone was nice enough to let me take shelter in their basement, because I had no idea what was going on since Radarscope, the only app I used at the time, unfortunately had an outage. Let's just say that was by far one of the stupidest things I'd ever done, but lessons learned lol.

I was a freshman at Iowa State in Ames and it was crazy walking across campus in 75 degree temps in December. Than I just remember the insane winds. We got pizza delivered as well

This was an amazing video!!! I remember this day so well. Driving my FedEx van that afternoon in Northwest Iowa was an absolute blast…as it approached, the sirens started going off like crazy and things got real 😳
