South edge of August 10th's Derecho, trees not happy

Blast of wind takes out some trees and a guy is going like a bat out of hell to get away from it

Wow!
If not for that hedge row past your neighbor's place his porch furniture would be in the next county by now!

Thanks for sharing!

Looks like the power went out.

Yep, either that far side only or the OP's cams are on a UPS.

Your lucky, some area's reported 100mph gusts with sustained winds of 70mph, for 45 minutes from that line.
We were also on the south end of it here. By the time it arrived, the sun had set, it didn't amount to much.

I noticed that the lights went out in the house across the street from you.

Yep, mine went out too, camera system on UPS or would have missed the shot. Was out around 25 hours for myself and folks in video frame, the people behind me were out about 4 days. Cable/internet out a full week, came on this morning. Not complaining, damage was massive in the state, can't believe they have that much replacement hardware available that quick.

Crazy driver, you can't out run the winds.
