I scanned the article and saw no mention of the hurricane. I think that even Wikipedia includes the hurricane.
Storms blew in. The fiercest, on the afternoon of the 25th, has been described as a tornado or hurricane, and it might have been a derecho, for it ripped off the roofs of houses and helped squelch the fires in the city.
It is mentioned. Since the wind was so great, they speculate that it was a derecho.
Was it a hurricane or a tornado?
