That footage of the water going through the Atacama town was terrifying. Well done to the gutsy lady who stood there and filmed it so there's a record of it

15:06 ~ my full respect to that captain... no stress, just chilling by watching the ocean like watching a movie at home... 💕

Those yurts in Mongolia did a lot better than I expected.

A good portion of the cost in Iowa was farm damage. Grain storage bins are expensive and the storm demolished so many of them

The dome shape of those "tents" are great in high winds. I'd venture to sat a typical balloon framed house taking that direct of a hit probably would've had significant more damage.

seeing the sun shine through right after a wall is knocked down from a tornado is usually a bad thing.

Been offshore for 30 years and North Sea storms are horrendous 27 meter waves and that’s no exaggeration when the ship goes down with the wave it feels like it ain’t coming back up ,,but wouldn’t change the last 30 years for anything the experience was thrilling but jumping out of aeroplane at 15000 feet 8000 free fall was a lot better have fun people live life to fullest and don’t forget to do a bucket list

I'm from Panama City, Florida. We got hit by a Cat 5 hurricane 4 years ago. Scariest thing that I've ever been through. It looked like a massive bomb went off afterwards. Pine trees and telephone polls were snapped like toothpicks. You literally couldn't see the roads because the trees were laid down everywhere. It was insane

Des Moines is a french name so it's pronounced without the s. I thought you were pronouncing derecho wrong but i looked it up and you made me learn something too.

I will say it again, I love your videos. You explain what happened and the location then show a bit of the video, then show the entire video, not just a little clip where you can’t figure out what happened. Good narration without laughing or babies crying in the background and no stupid comments. I look forward to your videos. Thank you for posting and the excellent narration. ❤

Thanks for mentioning guam

And in Australia we call hurricanes, cyclones. 🌀

I can’t hardly believe how calm in video one these people were being! Also how well the yurts withstood the tornado! AMAZING!!

This is more than just a video - it's a powerful testament to the unpredictable and scary side of our planet.

Derecho in Iowa, there were two, one in August 2020 and December 2021, no damage at my home a friend had a tree go into hers, scariest thing I've lived through.

Just so you know, you do not pronounce the S in Des Moines. Great video. You did such a splendid job!

Typhoon is a seasonal cyclone that occurs in tropical climatic regions near the equator in the western Pacific and Indian Oceans, especially in the Philippines

Northern hemisphere has hurricanes. Southern hemisphere has typhoons. They spin in opposite directions (typically).

My Lord…!! What destruction..!!

When i see floods like that , what i think about most is all the crap that ends up in the ocean .

The flash flood... Never seen anything like it. 🤯

Been through a derecho before. July 1, 1997 a derecho went through my then hometown of Maple Lake, MN. We had winds sustained at 115 mph with gusts up to 150 mph. We were lucky on our energy coop we got power back in 18 hours whilst 85% of the city was without power for 7 days. The oddest thing I remember about that storm was the sound the wind made. First off it hit as one big wall right as the rain started and lasted at peak intensity for 45 minutes. The sound it made was an unearthly loud low hum almost like the sound of an idling diesel or a generator. Only after power came back on did we realise how loud that wind was. In order to listen to minute by minute updates we had the half basement TV on, and when the power came back on we realised we had to turn that TV all the way up to 100 to even barely be able to hear it over the wind. Who knew that simple wind could be that incredibly loud or low frequency.

Love you bro

It's amazing how people in impoverished countries can afford devices that can record this amazing footage, but videos on Ghost Adventures are fuzzier than a photo of Abe Lincoln.

Szczerze współczuję tym którzy muszą przechodzić przez niektóre rzeczy!!! Trzymajcie się!!! Szacun!!!

We experienced our first and I hope last derecho. Southern Ontario doesn’t usually get those types of storms. The wind was wild, and there was a lot of damage. 🇨🇦

အထူးကျေးဇူးပါနော်..ကြောက်မက်ဘွယ်ရာတွေပါဗျာ..။။

Both ‘s’ are silent in ‘Des Moines’

Underworld: This is the most extreme weather caught on camera! Also Underworld: *Uploads another video similar to the extreme weather video.

there are actually 3 ways to say - cyclone 1- cyclone 2- hurricane 3- typhoon lol u forgot that some others call them cyclones too lol-

After the '98 Labor Day Storm, a derecho, in Central New York we were without power for almost two weeks. We were awakened by constant lightning and thunder and went to the basement. A few houses down the street a large maple was blown onto a house, then one of the family's cars was picked up and placed on the tree's trunk.

I'm from Iowa and we don't pronounce the "S" in either Des or Moines....it's De Moine. You are welcome.

That was one hell of storm

There’s a KZfaq channel on the EERV’s. It’s very interesting. The guys that run them are afraid of nothing. In fact, I’m sure they’ve said the words “hold my beer” to plenty a storm like this.

Notice the round homes and very little damage to the huts. This is how I’d build my house in tornado alley.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we had no rain and scorching hot temps with fires all around, for 4 months. Now it's been raining and i worry the floods like the ones shown will happen here as well. Weather is in a reversal of sorts all over the globe.

I think I remember the Jacksboro tornado. I live close by, a coworker of mine actually lived in Jacksboro. I remember her getting a call at work. There was a lot of crazy stuff going on at the time, I think there were also big fires around the same time of year.

typhoon is from tofaan meaning extremely strong winds( In Persian, Pushto and Urdu language)

1:26 that’s a sturdy tent!

Wasn't Typhon the father of all monsters in Greek mythology? If so, then this is probably where typhoon comes from since these are monster storms.

They sure sound calm in those tents

Holy crap balls!! What brand are those tent / yurts in the beginning? They held up crazy well during a tornado!! Y'all should throw a shout out to the manufacturer for making such a well-built product :-D better than most houses these days

Your pronounciation of Rivière des Moines was suprisingly good!! I'm shook! ^^

Good and amazing video 👍

I was hoping the Pepsi was gonna explode to😭😂

7:45 this is crazy!!

Love the ya site guys😎👍

6:00 The word in Mandarin Chinese is "táifēng" 台风 (颱風). In Japanese the characters 台風 are read as "taifū".

#5 - Dispute that claim, its not the driest place on earth, that would be Antarctica since Antarctica doesnt get any rainfall while even deserts will get rainfall.

We call those baseball ⚾️ size hail

We had a destructive hailstorm in Sydney Australia. My sister lived through it. She described the noise as a thousand men bashing a tin roof with hammers. Sydney Suburbs were covered in plastic tarpaulins where rooves had been pulverized.

the 2020 iowa derecho had recorded winds of close to 120mph in some places. i had no power for 3 days and it took out ike a 3rd of the tree canopy in iowa if that gives any perspective to how bad it was. i think a few ppl might have even died from it but not sure about that

In Des Moines, Iowa, the s's are silent. Sounds like D Moin. Iowa

amazing

Ads every 10 seconds of this video detract from its enjoyment.

6:37 yeahhhh😂

Pretty sure Typhoon comes from the greek word Typhon, the most powerful destructive monster in Greek mythology.

The fish weather vain was 🥰 perfect

one time in Texas it rained really hard and the next day i found leaves and sticks in my yard.

5:45 one spins one way the other spins the otehr way

We had 3 derechos last spring/summer here in Sioux Falls, with the first one with more powerful winds than the one in your video (more like 100 mph), and that first one killed 3 people. (PS: the "s" in "Moines" is silent, and in "Des," too, of course.)

*_I'm very hungry, but watching your video makes me feel full again, thanks for the video_* I Love You *-DO YOU LOVE ME-*

5:54 we call them cyclones

I am from India

In Japanese, it’s called taifū. Written, it is 台風. The first kanji, 台, means a stand, base, manner. The second kanji, 風, means wind. Together in that order means a typhoon.

Actually, I'll bet those tents being round were a good thing. I remember some guy in Florida, I believe, built his new home as a round home specifically to survive the strong winds of hurricanes. Seemed to have worked cuz his house was left pretty much undamaged, while others in the area weren't nearly as lucky.

"Don't take our rice" said the people in tents in video #7

I remember the derecho in Des Moines. I don’t recall any bad storms in Sioux City, though, at that time. It’s been a hot minute though.

6:56 - 9:09 this is me now that I don’t have a gallbladder

@ 17.00 the city's building another bridge, I've never seen so many bridges in such a short piece of area

The French typhon has been attested with the meaning of whirlwind or storm since 1504.[8] The Oxford English Dictionary[9] cites Hindustani ṭūfān and Chinese tai fung giving rise to several early forms in English. The earliest forms in English-"touffon", later "tufan", "tuffon", and others-derive from Hindustani ṭūfān, with citations as early as 1588. From 1699 appears "tuffoon", later "tiffoon", derived from Chinese with spelling influenced by the older Hindustani-derived forms. The modern spelling "typhoon" dates to 1820, preceded by "tay-fun" in 1771 and "ty-foong", all derived from the Chinese tai fung. The Hindustani source word ṭūfān ("violent storm"; Perso-Arabic: طوفان, Devanagari: तूफ़ान)[10] comes from the Persian tūfān (توفان/طوفان) meaning "storm" which comes from the verb tūfīdan (توفیدن/طوفیدن), "to roar, to blow furiously".[citation needed] The word طوفان (ṭūfān) is also derived from Arabic as coming from ṭāfa, to turn round.[9] The Chinese source is the word tai fung or taifeng[10] (simplified Chinese: 台风; traditional Chinese: 颱風; pinyin: táifēng). The modern Japanese word, 台風 (たいふう, taifuu); as well as the modern Korean word 태풍 (taepung) are also derived from Chinese. The first character is normally used to mean "pedestal" or "stand", but is actually a simplification of the older Chinese character 颱, which means "typhoon"; thus the word originally meant "typhoon wind". In Vietnamese, "大 風" (đại phong) translates literally to "strong winds", but the phrase "bão nhiệt đới" (暴熱帶 'Ferocious tropical storm') is used instead. The Ancient Greek Τυφῶν (Typhôn, "Typhon") is related and has secondarily influenced the word.[10] The Persian term may originally have been influenced by the Greek word.[9][11] Gotta love wikipedia

I lived in Davenport IA during the 2020 storm. I know we didn’t have power for roughly two weeks. The worst part of the whole thing was that no one knew it was coming so we all were blindsided.

Correct me if I’m wrong but the domes seemed to hold up very well in the tornado. It was the glass that broke. And they weren’t tents that were ripped to shreds. It looked like a solid building with a damaged interior because of the broken windows. Also the Mongolian tents you showed were not the same buildings seen in the tornado. Usually I like your videos but the commentary on the domes and tornado seemed to be really misleading.

That was one Hail of a storm.

the United States call them hurricanes.... over in Asia they are called typhoons.... and in the southern hemisphere they are just called tropical cyclones . In 1979 super typhoon tip is still considered the strongest storm ever in regards to its lowest pressure ever recorded. it even still beats out hurricane Patricia in 2015 by I think only like 2 millibars... Although I believe hurricane Patricia still has the highest recorded wind speed ever

The ''S'' is silent at the end of Des Moines, Iowa.

You should see if you can find footage of the 1993 ice storm in Rochester NY.

Storms that form & develop in the Pacific Ocean or eastern hemisphere are called typhoons whereas those that form & develop in the Atlantic Ocean or western hemisphere are called hurricanes. Storms that form south of the equator like in Australia are called cyclones.

1:35 window go tëp

Southern hemisphere storms spin in opposite direction - that is the difference.

Man, those tents are strong af.

Typhoons & Hurricanes rotate in opposite directions

Hey wait a second. Isin't that what Cheech told Chong to say in that movie? - "Hey Derecho!"

@underworld , where do you get the muic for your vid

sunami in the world is can't missing!but how to standby？？

Most of KCMO was without power for 10 day's after an ice storm hit... I pray I never half to endure another rath of Mother Nature

Typhoon pronounces Tai Feng 台风 in Chinese, this is the closest connection I can think of.

I’m gonna have nightmares😢

Omg😮😮😮😮

"I know, lets stand at the window as a tornado passes over the building

Oof nobody should be that close to the windows.

Rough weather in the mid-west I see.

@The Atacama Desert flood... When God answers EVERY prayer for rain.

It might be a good idea to dig basements under those yurts.

Huracane and tornado are a tottaly different appearances. Tornado is more localised and Huracane is more whole region/country thing. Do you agree?

Hurricanes and typhoons rotate in opposite directions. I can’t believe they didn’t know this.

I never experience this before but it looks horrifying don't worry I live in Africa baby only problem I have is corruption

ok I am not sure but at 8 min 33 sec when you see the ruff to the place in the mud it kind of looks like a person's arm sticking up in the air I don't know if anyone has seen this or not

Typhoon comes from the Arabic name: طوفان. It is prounced '' Toophan''.

Didn't know they had tornadoes in China.
