What is a derecho?
A derecho (pronounced similar to "deh-REY-cho" in English) is a widespread, long-lived wind storm associated with a band of rapidly moving showers or thunderstorms variously known as a squall line, bow echo, or quasi-linear convective system. Although a derecho can produce destruction similar to that of a tornado, the damage typically occurs in one direction along a relatively straight swath. As a result, the term "straight-line wind damage" sometimes is used to describe derecho damage.

I live a county away from the damage that happened. This Storm was a beast. It wasn’t like a hurricane where you get a break and the winds let up. It hit with just a severe thunderstorm warning and those winds lasted from 30-45 minutes. The front line winds hit Tama and within 16 minutes they hit Cedar Rapids. All the while still sustaining those 100 mph. winds. America doesn’t care now, no help except for the great linemen hooking power back up. But the rest of you will feel it when gas prices go up, and feed goes up for your farms across the U.S.

To the person that's reading this:

You're very intelligent and adorable human!
Stay healthy during quarantine

My dream is to have 1k. I been struggling to get there!!🌹⬆️

This is what happens when a country built under God's name rejects Him. Americans! Repent and call on Jesus! Please!!

They voted for Trump, let those welfare queens farmers help out!

GOD IS BLEEDING THE WORLD FROM TOTAL DISTRIBUTION…📡🙏🇺🇸🏩🌎🌍🌊🌏🇬🇧🌋⚡

Okay I’m scared. Like what is this year. I’m seriously terrified

I live in cedar rapids, and it's a sad sight to see really. I feel really lucky that my family is good. It was panic inducing losing all service and not knowing if they were okay or not.
