The Derecho
The derecho is a violent, widespread windstorm emanating from long-lived thunderstorm complexes. Derechos produce damaging, straight-line winds of 100 to 160 km/h (60 to 100 mph) that are strong enough to down trees and power lines. They rush across a region along paths tens of kilometres (miles) wide and hundreds of kilometres (miles) long. Derecho damage is continuous and non-random over a large area.

Microbursts and Heatbursts
I look at two very localized thunderstorm events: the microburst and the heretofore rare heatburst. Microbursts are strong, damaging winds which occur during intense thunderstorms and have been linked to several aviation disasters. Heatbursts, on the other hand, are more rare and likely will only make the news as a weather oddity due to the sudden rise in temperature that mark their occurrence. Both, however, have similar origins, downward moving air from a thunderstorm's core, and affect only a rather small area.

What Are Straight-Line Winds?
Straight-line winds can cause damage to trees and property with wind gusts as forceful as a tornado. These winds give almost no warning and are unpredictable.
