Remember it’s not THAT the wind is a blowin it’s WHAT the winds a blowin!!!!! Be safe out there you don’t want to get struck by a Ford F-150 that could screw up your video and your day!
When I heard you were 30 miles from me, We went to the basement. A lot of tree damage was all around us that night.
Teachable moment for people at how much to buckle, strap in, nuts and bolts doesn't take a huge amount of wind to knock out some infrastructure take care out there, omg that driver wasn't even hurt, omg!
0:10 scariest part of the video. FJB!
Hey dude you forgot your kite, that looked like a hurricane 🌀
This guy continues to amaze me
I live in Chester and there is considerable damage. That wind bag was a wild ride!
Wow – I hope everyone is well – looks dangerously exciting! 😍
jau slik ein skikkeleg vindpåsa e itte å kødda me. hydr hydr!
Why does Reed look like Aaron Rodgers lol
Monster Windbag?
I didn't know my ex-wife had ever been to Chester, IL
Question: you said "Mississippi River delta"? I thought that was when the Mississippi entered the Gulf of Mexico. I'm not familiar with the Chester area, but I thought it was on the Mississippi. A delta is when I river flows into another slow moving water, right? Is there another delta on the Mississippi? Just curious.
Should've came to Mayfield where I live during the EF-4 cane through
Microburst?!
I expected to see my mother-in-law in this video. Glad to see it was a less destructive wind storm instead.
It's on my bucket list to meet Tim reeder has been my whole life to go storm chasing with him would be incredible watching this video seeing how close he actually was to me I got so dang excited 🙂
Never heard of a "Windbag" before, in terms of weather. Could someone explain?
No matter what anyone says, Reed deserves a ton of credit for his knowledge, passion, instincts, and a lifetime of hard work and countless hours (I can't begin to estimate) on the road💯!!!
P.S. Wanna give a shout out to ALL the meteorologists and storm chasers who do what they do to help the public be much better prepared and warned of these dangerous (and deadly) storms.
thought he was talking about himself for a second HA HA HA HA
Never heard of a 'monster wind bag' and was afraid that Reed had an encounter with my ex wife's mother who lives near Chester.

We here in Chester, Illinois last week Thursday had several power poles down and power outages from this storm.
Calm down Reed, that's just a breezy day in Illinois. 🙂
The farmer in the tractor is "keeping an eye on it".
We had a massive derecho a couple weeks ago. Scary stuff, especially since most of us had little to no warning.
