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.
