I can't believe it hasn't gotten more coverage. It was nuts even by Oklahoma standards.

Derechos are no joke. Straight line winds that can do similar damage as a moderate tornado but damage path can be 50 miles wide and 200+ miles long. But the news cycle is dominated by other "stuff" going on and a news story about a derecho needs a description of what it is, while everyone knows what a tornado is.

I hope everyone is ok in the Midwest!

Another damager that no one ever really knows about: microbursts. Soviet and I had our yard and the neighborhood destroyed by one when we lived near Atlanta. We we're lucky our home wasn't destroyed. Several were. Ours took minor damage. But at first they thought a tornado came through until an NWS and satellite survey.

I am in Indiana near Chicago and it hit us pretty hard too. I had no power for almost 24 hours but some areas didn't get it back for almost 4 days. Mostly due to trees just falling over onto power lines.

Good thing it's not winter, when power goes out for few days during that period people's lives are at greater risk.

LOL.

You guys are so nice to each others.

I'm curious tho. Is it something else or is it only that their political views that are "wrong" that makes you want to see millions of people die in a disaster?

Incentives are weird this year...

I wish all Americans to be safe - I believe I benefit from that too.

I hate everything about Los Angeles, except the Lakers, everything else is fluff, people are garbage and they drive like ass holes.
