I lay this one on the media. They could have picked it up, and they still could. But it is not in their agenda.... And then there is the question of semantics; derecho....crickets. I had to look it up. Wasn't sure if it was the name that the storm had been given, as done with tropical depressions and hurricanes. Tornado, hurricane, tsunami, you are going to get the media attention. Derecho... apparently not so much. I just watched some videos during lunch and that looks as bad as any storm coverage I have seen
