Derecho Approaching Watertown SD - Tornado Siren Ambience - May 12/2022
I filmed the first two clips before going inside as the derecho approached Watertown, South Dakota. The sirens heard faintly during clip one were sounding for a confirmed quasi-linear convective system (QLCS) tornado south of Watertown moving north. That tornado caused extensive damage in Castlewood.
Clip two was cut short as I had to get inside before the gas station staff closed and secured the doors. The man speaking in the last clip is one of several truck stop customers taking shelter from the storm. It's not me.
Our mobile mesonet truck (seen during clip two under the hotel sign) sampled a peak wind gust of 81 mph with a one-minute average wind speed of 60 mph as the leading edge of the derecho overtook the vehicle.
The National Weather Service in Aberdeen, South Dakota published the following event summery on the derecho and tornadoes that occurred: https://www.weather.gov/abr/StormsummaryMay122022
