October 2, 2023 By Tharran Gaines

BETHANY – Until a few years ago, most people had never heard of a derecho (deh-REY-cho), even though the term dates back to 1877 when it was first used to describe an unusual wind event in Iowa. If wind damage wasn’t caused by a tornado or a hurricane, it has generally been blamed on a strong, straight-line wind. In fact, the word “derecho” is Spanish for “straight.” Today, the term, which has been used more frequently in the last 10 to 20 years, is, by definition, a wind damage swath that … [Read more...]
