Amazed so few people have heard of the derecho that hammered my hometown of Cedar Rapids, IA and a good number of surrounding communities Monday. Just now starting to get more national coverage.
Imagine going from a light breeze to straight line winds approaching 125 mpg over a huge area with almost no warning. 10 million acres of corn flattened. 50% of the tree canopy in my hometown gone in 60 minutes. Every tree in my parents yard is either uprooted or stripped bare to the trunk.
