Please check out my Instagram, where I frequently post pictures of weather and nature as a whole! / jm.smith_
This line of storms was part of a long lived MCS that developed over eastern Montana on the evening of June 26th. Through the night of June 26-27, the storms barreled across the Dakotas and Minnesota. By mid-morning on the 27th, the storms entered Wisconsin, weakening as they did so. The storms re-intensified by early/mid afternoon as the atmosphere became highly unstable. Just before arriving at my location, the storms' outflow collided with the lake breeze front created by Lake Michigan, causing the storms to intensify further and produce verified hurricane force wind gusts.
The storm had pretty good structure, but that structure did not do justice to just how powerful the storm really was. There were several entire trees down in my neighborhood, as well as many large branches. I apologize for any erratic camera movement in the 2nd half of the video.
Thanks for watching!

I live in Illinois and I had three pretty bad storms of 2020. First the beginning of the year I got a midnight tornado warning in somewhere around March. Then I got a derecho Storm, which was the worst storm of the year and knocked out our power for a day and a half. With 100 mph wind gusts and dime size hail. The derecho also had long lasting straight line winds.The last bad storm was a squall line just like this one. It had 70 mph gusts and penny size hail. This one did not knock our power out but there were the absolute darkest clouds. It was pitch black outside when I was bringing stuff close to our house. This triggered a tornado watch and severe thunderstorm warning as well as a flood advisory. The weather channel was on the whole time as well. The derecho also triggered a tornado warning and severe thunderstorm warning, as well as a high wind warning.

I swear Trees in America are the weakest, I live in Kuwait, we get insider days than this and they survive with barely a twig blown away

@leaf2180 3 жыл бұрын

There are weak trees and there are strong, sturdy trees in America. But most trees in America grow a lot during the growing season, some up to 8-10 feet in a season. That's a lot of added weight to the tree and can make them break easy. The tree that lost a couple branches in this video seemed to be what is called a Black Tupelo. Which is a softwood tree, it's not the strongest and grows rather fast. 3-5 feet in the growing season.

@funnelvortex7722 3 жыл бұрын

You also don’t get these types of storms as often in Kuwait, that’s a statistical fact. But it should also be noted that these trees are often picked for their rapid growth, and faster growing trees usually are softwoods which are less durable, appears to be a silver maple in this video. If this was an oak or sugar maple the story would be different.

@leaf2180 3 жыл бұрын

No it isn’t. Tropical regions get heavy downpours regularly but not so much in the way of heavy damaging winds from thunderstorms due to the difference in upper wind dynamics and air mass interaction in each latitude and region, the eastern and central US is the region most prone to severe (I.e. winds, tornadoes, derechos, supercells, squall lines, frequency of hail) convective weather on the planet. If you’re talking about tropical cyclones that’s a different story, but for thunderstorms the tropics mostly get heavy downpours and occasional pulse severe events. Not sure what you’re trying to prove.
