Two year anniversary of the derecho that sawed through the mid-Atlantic. Most destructive wind storm I've seen in these parts.

We call them thunderstorms around here and it looks like Lake Michigan is knocking the crap out of it.

When did they start using the term derecho? The first time I heard the term was down in Guaymas about 30 years ago. it was an impressive storm. I had never heard the term used since to describe a storm in the U.S. until a couple years ago.

Yeah, that’s when I first heard it. too. The storm that came across WVA and Maryland neeeded to be called something special , so it was pretty good marketing for the term.

It shouldn’t be too bad here in Michigan. Lake Michigan is cold this year and is sucking the life out of the storm.

The wind is what was impressive in the one we had. Wth a thunderstorm, you seem to get hard gusts at the front, then it dies down. With a hurricane, at least up here, the wind seems to wax and wane in intensity. With the derecho we had, it just blew intensely for hours.

isn’t derecho a word they use overseas?
How about calling them by their AMERICAN name, a THUNDERSTORM.
